I'd rather SE give us a straight up re-occurring credit card payment option that isn't handed off to some third party company that charges extra fees. People haven't had anything nice to say about click and buy since this kind of stuff went live around the XIV launch and SE has yet to do or even say anything about it as far as i know.

This sounds like it could almost be another issue to combat RMT that's hurting the players by making farmers pay more money for crysta and then when they get booted SE still has that money regardless of if all of that crysta is used or not. It wouldn't surprise me if this kind of thing was mentioned while setting this up.

IMO this will make MORE RMT activity. if RMT use Click and Buy how would SE be able to trace back CC info like they can now. I don't believe SE would be able to say hey click and buy give me your account records for all these accounts. If click and buy handles all the billing info wouldn't that mean SE cannot trace how many accounts go to 1 credit card like they could now? Unless SE had other methods of tracking RMT. I would have thought SE could look into the billing system they have now and say oh look 50 FF11 accounts are linked to this 1 credit card number. /boot all accounts. idk I could be dead wrong on this.
