well, it doesnt prevent it that well... the OP is still here....
OP is quite over dramatic with the title and their post., but still all boils down to the payment processor being doodoo and Square Enix not allowing us to change our Service Account region.
I think a ton of people in the thread mistook this as complaining about characters and servers, but it isn't about that. As I said earlier, its Service Account region (your mogstation/squeenix account).
For example, when I started this game in 2013, there were no clear direction/recommendations yet on how to do this. So I made my Service Account NA region and my address to the proxy delivery service I've been using for years. Fast forward to 2024 and there still is no means for anyone from SEA to sign-up and play the game legally (aside from I think the 1 or 2 countries who are able to buy the game through Steam). It's a service issue.
Now this conspiracy theory is really stretching if I ever saw one. I believe they tried to secure their players better, but just implemented it so poorly that it's doing more damage than good.
The fact still stands that a lot of Tonberry/Kujata foreigners getting their subscription payment convoluted and some even straight up blocked. Their silent shows that this is 100% intended outcome they wanted.
The only fraud here is Sqex themselves.
Such a great beginning for a new fresh start for DT, trailer failed to hype, benchmark failed, payment failed, so much for a 10-Anniversary lmao.
Or it shows how many players on Tonberry/Kujata/etc. have been engaging in a form of fraud to get access to the game by providing false address information. Or how many of them are so poor at money management that they can't open an account with the major payment services that are being accepted by the new payment processor. After all, there are plenty of non-JP players on those worlds that are not being affected by this change.
If you're so convinced you're correct, why are you trying to continue to do business with a company that doesn't want your business? They're not providing any sort of essential service to you.
Me the entire time reading the thread.

OP... i get it. It's frustrating. I am from SEA myself and I would like the experience to revert to what it used to but making threads like this isn't helping
I think that's very insulting if you think just because our countries is not registered you have the right to call us frauds.
And you're asking why I want to continue playing this game with DT at the corner? After I have 3000 days subscribed?
Why are you commenting here if it has nothing to do with you and I don't need your condescending and insulting tone? Is this what fuel your day and help you sleep at night?
Appreciate the suggestion, but this problem is very specific to a group of minority people in this game. You will just getting ignored and pretend you don't exist until next week, things back to normal and those payment problem people gone. Nothing happened. Back to get my forum points for these people.
We have a "goodboy" thread over there, let me show different perspective and have a discussion with this one.
People are free to call me whatever they want. For as long as it doesn't have an ounce of truth and not disrupting my experience playing the game... basically within the boundaries, I can shrug those off.
Calm the f*** down and be more reasonable with your arguments rather than being overly exagerrated and obnoxious.
