in light of all the payment raging, (( must read ))

For JPs there is, but for other countries there isn't. Some people are playing from countries that ClickAndBuy doesn't even support, and now they're locked out of service until they find a way around this new system.

Yes like me, I am from New Zealand, about 5 years ago when I purchased the security token we had to register a SE account so we can link the security token onto it, I am from New Zealand so of course when I choose the region when creating SE account we choose EU&Other Regions since there were only NA JP and EU&Region 3 Options to choose so of course I chose EU&Other Regions, who knows it will hunt it us down now at that time? now I am screwed because the only option to make a payment in EU SE account is Click and Buy, NO Crysta available, NO direct debit credit card, No Paypal, and even worse, now everytime I try to transfer my POL account and when I get to the Click and Buy payment step it shows an error message says "Error This offer is not activated for your country of origin.", I searched on internet, no luck, so I made a phone call to Click and Buy in EU, waited for a good 20mins on the line until someone finally pick up, and the operator was in very bad manner, after 10mins of talking and explaining he told me I have to verified my credit card in my Click and Buy that they put 2 amount of US dollars and I have to put them onto the click and buy confirmation page, and the 2 amount of money will take 3~7days to appear on the invoice and he said if it still doesnt work it doesnt work thank you sir and hang up the phone. so if it doesnt work , to the EU SE account users that isnt in EU like me, totally had no choice, we only have an option to pay with click&buy which doesnt work and cant continue FFXI service.
P.S also tried my sis's credit card from Australia, appears to be same error message so i dont know whats wrong with it, friend from US didnt have to verfiy their credit card and could use right away and got their account transfer done in few mins. I also heard someone said some countries/banks dont even support Click and Buy I am not sure if thats true but maybe thats why i get the error message.

So to the original poster, you think its easy like you said ? maybe its easy for you because you didnt have problems but please dont forget there are other people having same situation like me.
and SE needs to do something about it.

Yes, I was also getting the "Error This offer is not activated for your country of origin." when I was trying to set up my FF14 account back then when I was in Hong Kong (and I had no problem Alpha/Beta testing the game there).

Even though my CC account, FF account are all in Canada, i travel a lot, due to personal reasons...thats my life. FFxi was working pretty well until they decided to discontinue the autopayment via POL.

Do you know whats the error message means ? did you ever fix it for your FF14, so we are done until SE do something about it?

ClickAndBuy doesn't support all countries. That's what it means.

This was one of many reasons I stop playing FF14, I couldn't fix it, is not my side of the problem.

I think that error message pops up when C&B server detects that your internet connection is not from one of the chosen regions from SE, hence, regional error. I think when SE registered C&B as their business partner, SE will need to select what regions they will accept payment for. And unfortunately the region I was in wasn't in SE's check list.

So in other words those ppl like me are done, cant do anything with it unless SE do something

You do not have to use the "click and buy" option that is JUST for crysta. I repeat THAT IS JUST FOR CRYSTA. Go to the square enix website and there is INFACT a payment option to use your credit card.

You have it backwards.

If you want automatic credit card billing in the exact amount you owe (and you don't live in Japan), the only option is ClickandBuy. Note that if you cilck the "credit card" option, you're immediately prompted to establish a new ClickandBuy account.

If you want to buy Crysta (which you will need to reload manually and carry a balance month-to-month), then you have options alongside ClickandBuy. In North America, at least, you have the second option of using PlaySpan, and it is through them that you have the option of PayPal and prepaid cards.

Using PlaySpan doesn't require establishing an account per se.

You might want to get your own facts straight before sarcastically declaring everyone else is wrong.

Top google suggestion for "clickandbuy" is "Clickandbuy scam" ...

Look here and further down the page, Rage.

I'm still wondering why people are still complaining.

If everyone is really that concerned about ClickandBuy, you could, you know, get a bank account (or a second on at a different bank) and use that account only for this game. There are banks out there that don't charge a monthly fee for opening an account as long as you have like $5 in your savings account (at least, that is how most credit unions do) and the cards are the same as other banks.

That way, most of your fears of ClickandBuy stealing your money are gone (your main account isn't touched) and you get billed for the exact amount (some of you complained that you don't want to have to spend $1 extra every 9 months, and that this is all a scheme to get money out of you). You can even have direct deposit done from your work (all it takes is a form from both of your banks and the company you work for) to send most of your money to your main account and have the monthly payment go to your little account (some of you complain that you won't remember to buy crysta each month).

There is a solution to your problems, but all you guys like to do is complain about life. Well, get over it!
