401 Error when transferring character - Primitive system (has not changed since 1.0)
I've encounter an error (401) that has appeared after I entered my billing information when I go to transfer my character to another server via the mog station. I've used the mog station before to purchase subscription time and other items with no error or problem before, but seems like now there is.
I've haven't changed my billing information and matches my bank information and personal details are still the same from day 1, and now theres a problem. Just last week I was able to add additional retainers with no problem but seems like the primitive account system that is square enix has not fixed or implemented a better billing system for more than a decade or since 1.0 ffxiv, and is imo is harshly inconvenient to a frequent player or worse a new player.
Worst off i think the system locks you off for up to 24 hours to 1 month if you attempt again, which is insane.. yes i get the credit fraud is a problem, but to a legit player trying to play again *worse if ur trying to get this resolved on a weekend or before raid night* is messed up.
Seriously fix the issue or implement a better one, other mmo's i've played seem to like money and seem to you know, actually want you to play and not waste your time and not blame your bank even tho you can pay things 99% everywhere else except square enix.. wtf
