I'm happy to see that SE has heard our complaints and is adding these in.

Now if they'd get rid of the /servmes saying you have to transfer. lol

Heres a novel thought, buy crysta with the same credit card that you use on your POL acct and use it on paypal. I already know the arguement here..."but I cant buy exactly xx.95 crysta right now." Well in the future, you can specify how much you want to buy so in a couple of months it wont be a problem.

I never understood why people are like, OMG NEW PAYMENT OPTIONS! Annoying? Yes it is. End of the world? Hardly.

People have been claiming that they have been playing the game since NA launch and are willing to give up their characters that they have toiled over for 9 years because of a mere inconvienence is beyond me. Suck it up and do it. If you have been playing since NA launch, youll remember the ping DOSS attacks that SE had to endure in 2004 which rendered the game unplayable. Yet you still play! And willing to quit over something so trivial.

This isn't a mere inconvenience to me, there is no way for me to pay using my current credit card anymore. I haven't even been able to use Paypal to buy Crysta using that credit card. Hell, I can't even seem to get Paypal to accept a payment using my old US credit card! I have been playing since March 2004, paying for the game with a Korean credit card since 2007, but I still have no options to pay after the transfer.

Yes, I should have waited for the last minute to transfer, since people who didn't transfer can still use the old payment system, but how was I to know they would extend it? Silly as it seems, I kinda wanted the in-game item too... There are still people in large regions that are unable to pay as well, like Australia/New Zealand, where the game was officially sold and should be supported but are not at this time.

Until today there was no option in the works to buy Crysta in exact amounts which was a show of bad faith from SE. Dishonest business practices, Microsoft tactics etc etc.

Comparing 2004 to 2011 is pretty silly. If you really have played that long, you've learned things over the years and it's very likely you've wisened up regarding what are good business practices and what comes off as "we're trying to fleece our customers". Further, you could just no longer have the same connection to the game as in those years long past.

SE has competition these days and nothing is what it was in 2004 anymore.

Wow! That's really great news! Thank you for listening SE.

[Pharaun]

Looks like all the crying you guys have been doing has finally paid off.

I guess when you whine hard enough, people will listen.

I don't see why you are so butthurt about people not wanting to put up with terrible business practices. Thanks to all of us who made our displeasure heard things are now going to be even better for you.

[Aldersyde]

Not at all, but if you have valid complaints and there are enough that are outraged over it then things can happen. I don't expect you to understand it ofc because you care nothing for issues your fellow players had with this, just that your own selfish little self was unaffected by it. Either that or as I hope you and the couple of others were just acting like a selfish aholes to troll people.

Putting my money on this. Would have been nice if said people were actually a bit entertaining about it. Seriously uncreative trolling.

I was able to login all the way, dunno why you "had" to transfer. Lock out period was the end of the month wasn't it?

You had to if you had nothing linked to an SE account. You had to transfer your ID to the account but not the complete conversion.

Easier payment is good and all but ugh had a feeling there was going to be a curveball thrown in for better or for worse.

Do you work for CnB that you so vehemently defend it? Perhaps you just really like giving your money away, in which case I can set up a new account so that you may funnel all the nickels and dimes you so readily throw away my way.

Thing is, not everyone had problems with Click&Buy, yeah some people do, yeah some people read reviews or horror stories -- You read about people finding fingers and nails and jewelery and etc in Fast Food places, yet millions still eat there just fine.
