Could we have Paypal as a pay method instead of click and buy? DEVS please answer.

Thank God, I probably won't play til this option comes out. I have read some really nasty things about Click and buy or whatever it is called. Though I just remembered they do have the $20 Ultimate Gamer Cards you can buy and use that to purchase Crysta. So that may be the route I take.

And, just as an FYI, neither MasterCard or Visa will do business with you unless you support VBV or 3D Secure. And any retailer/business that crops over the threshold of transactions that are fraudulent (1%), will get reduced service from both. Moan and scream at SE for as long as you like, but as Jennestia says, it's MC and Visa's systems and they are both systems are here to stay.

Edit: Realised I fail at quoting ; ; I lose internets

As you've said, RMT are mostly stolen CC accounts.
Players compete against RMT or bots, may affect enjoyment and/or economy.
Victim of credit card theft files for fraud, gets refund, process for reparations.
Game company refunds all money stolen from victim, profit loss, time invested.

If RMT weren't stolen, at least game company would benefit from software purchase and subscription cost.

Yep I think square started doing this because of the "fraudulent charge" charge-back problem they had back in mid 09. They are doing this to protect themselves from that problem and for the customer. It's a mutual benefit honestly for the company and customer from RMT theft.

Only those that are narrow sighted have a problem with it.

and just now I realized click and buy charges you a fee if you dont use the account on a regular basis

o.0 holly crap!!! really? I didn't know this I signed up with click and buy when this game first came out over a year ago and i quite the game within the first week and am now going to come back for patch 1.20, does that mean click and buy has been charging me fees for the past year for not using it? Since SE is now allowing us to go directly through my credit card I am just going to do that when billing starts, but if click and buy does in fact charge you for not using them can someone tell me how to cancel it?

There is no real difference between Click-and-Buy versus PayPal. They provide the exact same function.

Pretty much. And I didn't do anything on my click and buy account for over a year and I saw none of these "charges" people speak of.

The previously announced Fall 2011 implementation of direct credit card payments is still under development and should be ready soon. We apologize for the wait, but we will make an announcement once an exact implementation date has been decided. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

This is good news, but as I've made clear to people in my Linkshell, I will not be paying to play until this is actually implemented. Being in a non-Crysta country, my only other option is Click&Buy and I just don't trust them enough to run the complex system they say they run.

I haven't seen any charges by clickandbuy since that verification charge and charge-back transaction to verify my card over a year ago.

FFXI and FFXIV use the same SE account.
