Hmm, alright, what about the other payment method? The Ultimate Game Card I think it was called? Is there an issue regarding that one?

I think you mean UltimatePay.

It's a service run by Play Span and works as a normal e-tailer, ie. you buy Crysta use a one-off CC payment to do so, they in turn tell SE about your purchase and SE put the appropriate amount of Crysta into your SE account's 'pot'.

The BIG difference is that you don't have to create an account with PlaySpan, whereas you do with ClickAndCry.

so more hassle?

I'll take one-time hassle over having my main credit/debit card in risk anyday. Isn't that your excuse as to why you don't like the new system?

Although, it will be very hard for anyone to steal any money from me. My bank actually has a very good security system in place. Like knowing where I live and knowing what I buy (often).

ya ultimatepay is probably the safest route out of them all for those trying to figure out options. You can use paypal through the ultimatepay.

no I have no fear of my credit card being stolen, Im worried about hidden fees n such through click and buy, or overpaying every month through crysta

im not liable if my credit card is stolen, so I couldnt care less

If you do it via Crysta, the leftover crysta stays in your account, So every ~2/3 months you basically get a "Free month" from leftover Crystal if you buy 20$/month

You could alternatively buy 5$ and 10$ worth and only spend 15 instead of 12.95, thats a variation of $2.05, which any good budget should allow room for, especially considering if you're only paying 12.95 (1 account) in 6 months you have neough "Leftover" crysta to pay for 1 month, and you get that money back.

made a account for the click an buy service and wus billed (soon as i registered my card) 100$ then a 5$ charge ontop of that this service has a hugely bad rep for stealing ppls money plus they charge a extra monthly fee of there own ontop of the ffxi fee's requested a refund and can'ed the account dont see how this is fair to ppl who just want to play a game

They aren't hidden if it is spelled out on the ToS, but you have to read that. People complain that they are hidden because they don't read the ToS. Which is their fault.

I have been jumping through hoops all morning with Click and Buy to try and verify my account. I had created an account when 14 was released but cancelled it before the first month was up. I cancelled my recurring payment through click and buy before my card was verified.

Now they want me to send them my drivers license, bank statement, and a signed form to prove my CC info. Thanks but no thanks.

I have 2 accounts, 3 characters, 26.90 a month, crysta is purchaseable in 500 increments, the LCM of 26.90 on 500 is 134500, so, until I have purchased and used 134,500 crysta which is 1,345 dollars, or 50 months of game time or 4.1 years in order for me to finally have given the exact proper amount of money

Or............. Big or

You could simply purchase 30$ a month worth of Crysta, which is 3.10 more than you would normally pay (well within a healthy budgets spending parameters), and in 9 Months you've generated enough left-over Crysta to pay for 1 month. essentially regaining that 26.90.

Theres a fine line between reasonable complaints (Click and buy sucking ass) and just looking for reasons to bitch. I want it to stay the same as its always been, because this entire thing is an added inconvenience, but as far as inconveniences go, Crysta is the lesser of the evils by a large margin
