Petition: clickandbuy the only way no,thanks.

Well, if you think that's a playable game .. LOL?

Lol, it barely is. Which is what's so sad about this situation. Compared to FF its utter garbage, but even they have the common sense to allow players to pay them directly. Now that is pathetic on Squares part.

[Runespider]

A lot of people are waiting to see what happens, can a rep give us something as to whether Square are even considering changing this? If they are just gonna ignore this and make us stick with it (as I'm guessing) then people can decide what they want to do easier...waiting around hoping isn't helping.

The options here are pretty terrible but the most obnoxious part is that JPs get to pick exact amounts of crysta and can pay direct with CC still, the truth is almost everyone that plays FFXI right now is ignorant about these changes and just how big an effect they will have on them.

I'm not all that happy about the changes, but I believe the term that hasn't been said yet is "Silent Majority". Sure, there's plenty of outcry in all outlets (official forums, unofficial forums, in-game, etc.), but when you think about it... well, I don't know where I was going with this. The "silent majority" just seemed to fit.

Sure, those Ultimate Play cards are one way, but I would probably just give up in the end and just stop paying; even with 50 Crysta left over. My bank is the type that will freeze my card after every transaction with ClickandBuy. I didn't know what I got myself into when I set up the payment stuff for XIV.

As was said earlier, the "silent majority" is mainly comprised of people who don't know about the changes yet. When August 31st (I think, don't quote me on the exact date) rolls around and people suddenly have to start buying crysta or using C&B, then that's when the major backlash will begin.

Aye, I told my LS mates that I was going to hold out until then. Some relented and went the Ultimate Card way and some tried to go the ClickandBuy way, but got the error that said to try again until after this payment cycle was done.

Everyone I told quit.

I suppose it varies person to person.

Like many say, this is unacceptible, I dont mind say the Crista system for payment. But needing to go through so many hurtles to allow me to pay is like asking me to fight a hydra with a paperclip every morning to make a cup of coffee. Its something that is likely difficult for both SE and ourselfs, and like many have stated, unless i can find a way that works within my means of payment, i will be stuck with no way to do such and my adventures in vana'diel will come to an end. I can understand that there are at times issues that may arise that force things like inability to offer service, or a payment system having to collapse, but forcing people to go out of their way, sign up for multiple other services, and then MAYBE be able to access their intended service is just unfair. Add my name to the petition or show me where to sign it. Because this is just a terrible change and most people dont want this.

To you square-enix. Do not opress your consumers, or soon you will all be running on treadmills just to power your offices.

Yeah, I've been around since 2003 NA launch. I'm surprised I'm not more attached to the game. I guess I had a feeling something like this would happen. I half-joked that once I got Masamune I would quit back in... April (still working on the lvl 85 version). My small LS is close nit and I guess the others just want to hold on to finish getting upgraded Empyrean gear.

That sounds like the most epic cup of coffee ever. Though if early morning coffee rage is anything to go by, it'd be a short fight.
