Question about Continuous payment and crysta

[Twille]

I, for one, will be canceling my account as a result of this. There is absolutely no good reason that I should have to sign up with a 3rd party company to pay for a game I've been playing on-and-off for the last 8 years.
Does allowing us to PAY for the game via 3rd party software mean that we can PLAY the game via 3rd party software (windower)?
Horribly move SE.

Stop being a drama queen, you DO NOT HAVE TO SIGN-UP TO A THIRD-PARTY TO PAY, it's a CHOICE SE gives you, there are alternatives which don't need a sign-up to anything.

the problem is all the choices suck, u either sign up for click and pay or lose autobill and overpay every month

there is only 1 choice they give which you don't have to sign up for anything. Game cards. everything else (paypal,playspan) requires you to sign up to a service.

I wish people would understand this. This is my point exactly too.

The thing is, not all of us have played/will play ffxi for 8 years straight.

I've been playing ffxi since the ps2 release, but I also take breaks anywhere from a month to two + years, to play other games. As is I was planning on stoping in a few months to go try out KotOR. It'll probably suck, but who knows? maybe I'll love it and stick with it for 2years, I have for other games. And crysta expires after 2 years:

The fact I'm being forced to either do click and scam or play ffxi a lot longer than I would anticipate is ridiculous. Especially when the JP can buy crysta in exact amounts/directly pay with a CC. Just because it's ok for you doesn't mean we can't voice our complaints in hopes they make things better.

I bought Crysta using Play Span, I DID NOT HAVE TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT.

edit: And the complete and utter fail (on SE's behalf) that was the hacking of FList plus that got a couple of accounts stripped/sent to another server.

kinda a bad example, as Taj is a special little snowflake, but I don't disagree with you either.

NO IT DOES NOT!

I've bought Crysta with Play Span, guess what, I SIGNED UP TO NOTHING! I did not have to create an account with them, I just paid using my CC and SE credited my Crysta!

Do you live in the US? Here are my options:




I have tried every which way, all over the place it always takes me to the same two options.

Step 0: Go to your local Walmart/GameStop/7-Eleven/CVS/etc. and plunk down $20 (cash!) on an "Ultimate Game Card."

Step 1: Click on the "Ultimate Game Card" tab shown in the picture.

Step 2: Redeem the full value of the card for Crysta ($20).

Step 4: Enter in the number under the scratch-and-sniff section of the back of the card, as well as an email address for your receipt (I used my pol.com email address).

That's it. No signing up for anything. This option is available even if you insist on keeping all of your money stuffed in a mattress.
