Petition: clickandbuy the only way no,thanks.

[NkaiMoonwatyr]

At some point you stop being a troll and start being a child. You've crossed that point miles ago. Time to stop and turn around, or just give it up.

Thank you!

That is the end of what I have to say, because continuing will be counterproductive now

That would assume that you saying anything was productive to begin with.

As a side note, and back on topic... Am I quitting?
No. I've invested too much time and effort and have made far too many valuable friends to quit now. Were I unable to purchase Crysta, or as a last ditch effort use C&B.... I suppose I wouldn't really have any choice. But regardless, after 7+ years of playing I shouldn't HAVE to worry about that. Which is where the complaints are stemming from.

Am I cutting back on my account expenditures as a result?
Yes. More than likely I'll be cutting off my sister's account and trimming away most of my mules. Not because I can't put them to some use, but because I want as little of my money to go to SE as possible. Piddly and perhaps useless... but *shrugs* every dollar less they make as a result will be a dollar more that helps them realize what a FUBAR this is.

I'm not continuing to play because I support or don't care about the changes, I'm continuing to play because I don't want to lose contact with all those wonderful, glorious and dear friends I've made over the last 7 years.

When the change is worse off than the old system, then I would see why people would complain. So far, the change is not worse, it just is a minor inconvenience.

I'm remembering PSN. Not that Click and Buy is really any safer, but then again, nothing is really safe, is it?

I'm just tired of all the crying over spilled milk. Crying over nothing. Crying because you didn't get your way.

I'm sorry that you have to change your account info one time, but enough is enough. You are not going to get your way, and the sooner this thread falls off the radar, the better.

That is the end of what I have to say, because continuing will be counterproductive now.

It helps former players that didn't have a 3D Secure credit card and had no way of bypassing it. That's pretty much it.

What can be better than inputting my credit card information into the playonline client or a website and leaving it until my credit card expires?

There was always a way around, there were just people that were willing to watch a youtube video with goofy music and those who weren't.

Sadly this is what Square seem to be betting on, they are only going to react if there actually is any fallout from this. Given how addicted most of us are, there probably will be very little and they won't have to offer us any better services.

They used to fear losing us, now they know they have most of us hooked and they can treat us as badly as they like, more or less.

Even an addict can go clean.

the web is full of this kind of stuff from them... nice one SE !.. i dont want to use click and buy, and i dont want to naff around woith buying crysta each month, i just want you to take the money from my bank account and not worry about it like you have for the past 3 years.. why is that so hard ?

i signed up with you to take my money, not some 3rd party company whos customer service seems to be disgusting !..

im having major issues as it is with a complete reinstall due to two files being corrupt, still no nearer being able to reinstall my game, so maybe its just time to find a new online experiance !

[Tolby]

20 more days left untill I have to more than likely quit just because SE is being SE again.

[Pokoyo]

ok so im settin gup this click and buy thing... and so far, ive set my password, but yet on the next page it says my password is wrong... so i had to click on "forgot password" to reset my password, even though my password was correct, and now when i enter my "new" password, on the next screen it asks for my birthday for confirmation, and when i enter my birthday, it tells me my birthday is wrong and wont confirm my registration.. is this s**t for real ?????????????????

What's odd is the timing of this; End of August.

School is starting up for many, and this just seems like a distraction. Maybe it's junior/senior year of High School, and you're going to take it seriously. Maybe it's another year of college, and payment inconveniences are just the excuse you need to make a break. Maybe it's Grad school, and it's finally time to just give this up.

People can put years of their lives into a relationship, and finally one day decide it's time to walk away.

Don't forget, SE has a vested interest in this as well. Will SE kill the hen that layed the golden egg? C'mon, give them some credit. FFXI is not Fantasy Earth, not yet.
