A question about maximum Crysta.

[Alhanelem]

I paid for FFXI using my Debit Card until SE used Click-and-buy as a process intermediary,

They don't use that anymore, it's ingenico, a well known and established payment provider the world over.

So after I got a new Debit Card from my Bank, I never used it online ever again, and it was all because of the Click-and-buy / SE payment debacle.

You really allowed one questionable move from one company to dictate all your future financial decisions?

Paying online is totally fine with a little bit of awareness. Just make sure it's a reputable company, the website is https:// (dont think modern browsers willl even let you do this sort of thing if it isn't)

If any of us even have crysta at all, the most likely reason is SE compensating people with crysta for certain FFXIV online store issues.

I've been using all my credit and depit cards online for 20 years, and I've never been compromised. Even if I am, with a little bit of knowledge it doesn't have to be a painful thing to deal with.

One time I did get scammed by an individual whom I paid directly by debit and didn't send me something I asked for, but a simple call to my bank and I got my money back.

I'm surprised I wasn't put on a no-fly terror watch-list at the same time.

Yea, there's no reason to be so ridiculously dramatic. CnB was bad, but having used it isn't going to put you on a no fly list lol....

To be clear: There's really no difference between using paypal and paying SE directly. You still have to send something over the interwebs to get the money to come out of your bank account, and paypal isn't any more trustworthy than anyone else. There's entire websites dedicated to hating on them (but I use it so ~"~ )

Use logic, use common sense. Yes, SE chose a bad payment provider many years ago. They realized their mistake, and they don't use it anymore.

==================

Anyway, I can't tell you, nor can most people around here, what the crysta limit is becuase most of us don't use crysta. That should make it pretty clear to you by itself that paying SE via credit/debit card is perfectly fine. Again, Ingenico is a widely used payment processor and is even used by major retailers in stores. They are among the safest option available.
