Petition: clickandbuy the only way no,thanks.

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.

Especially since the majority spent $$$'s buying Abyssea and are waiting for the level cap increase plus,plus, plus. Also they teased with a sticky referring to the "forthcoming" update. Usually the wording is "The next Version Update which is scheduled for release early, middle or late (August in this case) will include..."

SE is playing a very clever game. Either they are rushing to bring the Update online by the end of August, or they are going to release it early September, when those who got frustrated with the new payment method will just do it to continue playing. (Assuming they can).

you can buy Crysta though PayPal too~

you can buy Crysta though PayPal too~

A: Crysta isn't legally available in every country, so even buying through PayPal won't work as it isn't recoginised as a legally viable alternative to payment.
B: PlaySpan requires the game cards to 'top up' your account (like the WoW Time cards), but like Crysta, they aren't available in every country either.

So people who can't access Crysta or the game cards have been left by the wayside.

It's the same one thats at the bottom of the "Square enix transfer FAQ" sticky second from the top of the sticky list. They just posted it here too incase people didn't check it there.

Yes you can use a credit/debit card to purchase crysta via Clickandbuy... however due to the disreputable reputation of Clickandbuy (and in my case, asked to supply my passport/driver's license/birth certificate to prove my identity, no way I'll go that option).

Oh darn, I thought it was something... I don't know, useful. :C

Thanks though, guys.

[Anathiel]

Can we use crysta to buy things from the square enix store, or is it only for monthly subscription fees?

Lol at SE actually being useful when it comes to a customer service issue, I don't think that has ever happened.

Arrr I am fully in favor for putting back in something without click and buy. One of my Accounts is on that (my EU one) but my 2 US ones clickandbuy tells me that it is not possible in my country.

So I had to buy crysta, over paypal --- which I trust more than I do clicandbuy tbh

I dont even know if SE customer service takes their time to read such Forum Petitions, but I sure hope they do.

and Alukat, you better log in again, I need your THF pro advice
