for some it's simply not an option. For others, the remaining options just don't sit well with them for whatever reason. Many are leaving on principle...it's not necessarily a lolrage quit thing.

Until I get a reliable cashflow going again (not working odd jobs here and there just to make ends meet) I simply can't justify spending the extra money on Crysta to play. Extra billing cycles, extra cost per cycle to play, exceeding what I have projected in my budget to be able to maintain things until the end of the year (longer PROVIDED an old investment of mine finally pays off for me). If I could use the card like I've always done, I could tolerate it if the shorter cycles and potential interest on the card prevented me from paying it off a few times--but I try to keep this card as cleared as I possibly can in case I need it for emergency spending.
So, in a way...in my current situation, loosing this direct bill option is just not something I can stomach financially.

Sounds like a plan. I'm just curious how you managed to pay with the POL billing...if your card is being acccepted now with the POL system, then it is using either the 3DS or Jsecure protocol already. Your account appears to be active.

hmmm... been hearing people say it the workarounds didn't work for that anymore... Guess some people just aren't grasping how to do it. Don't know what is so hard about hitting the back button... but, wonders never cease.

Because they plan to use Crysta for other things besides your $12.95 subscription fee for FFXI or FFXIV.The question I pose to you is why do you think SE is selling crysta in these specific increments?(0)

Crysta's used for a bit more in Japan, like items people can buy for their Square-Enix Members accounts. As of now, it's still fairly useless to us.

I transferred my mule account over to SE account in order to test my payment options. I was unable to set up either C&B (unsupported country) or Crysta (Paypal is still trying to verify my Korean credit card), so my mule account was shut down for lack of payment. I did not yet transfer my main 2 accounts, they are still able to be paid for using POL, but that ends Aug 31 when I have to transfer them too.
