with playspan discontinued will hurt the game

Useless for legacy players as they only need to pay $20 for 2 months, or slightly less, I dunno if the bulk discount applies starting from 2 months. I know I only pay slightly less than $48 for 6 months.

Yes, legacies are entitled to pay less, this is also the correct usage of the word entitled too.

Then pick your poison pay more or use a credit card.

Better yet, how about not resubbing until they add an option I can pay safely and surely with, aka Paypal. At least in my case they have 6 months to add more payment options, but others aren't as lucky.

That's totally within your right to do, but there is an option for you to pay with using paypal you just don't want to because it's more expensive. What you should be asking for more specifically is a paypal option on the mogstation. And really you should have been asking for this 3 months ago when they announced that Ultimate game time cards were going away(it's been on the loadstone front page for that long)

It is more expensive, that's why even though it's indeed an option, it's a bad one for legacy people since there's nothing to gain and everything to lose by paying more, understandably people would not want it. I admit I didn't ask for a Paypal option to be added directly to the Mogstation before, though the OP posted a topic with another person asking for it. The most likely reason more people didn't ask for it in advance is because of this statement in your link.

In light of this news, we are also working with payment providers to increase the number of payment solutions we can offer.

Which would lead most people to believe they would have worked out something by now, yet nothing happened on the Mogstation, only game cards were added on a separate site that admittedly is still owned by them, but the Mogstation is supposed to be main page to manage ARR subscriptions and purchase game time. You'd think 3 months would be plenty of time to sort out something as important as this but apparently not. Yet again, this game loves throwing around the good old "please look forward to it" or "we'll be looking into it" so the expectations are already subpar.

I'll expand on this as well.

This means these 2 options will no longer be offered as a payment method for purchasing Crysta. The last day to redeem retail Ultimate Game Card codes will be September 29, 2014 and the last day to redeem your UltimatePoints will be October 31, 2014.

They never said anything about paypal. That's why I never thought to ask for it, because I literally didn't think it would be going away.

[BobbinT]

They removed the option because it was provided by a third party service that was shut down entirely. Don't lie if you want sympathy.

Sigh...

First, you don't even know what you're talking about. Second, you're throwing insults?

I guess you never receive this in your email, so I just pasted this here for your reading pleasure:

Another dumb response. Check the forum before making that comment. And if you're not sure, don't comment at all. In case you still have no idea:

Again, please refrain commenting if you're not giving viable solution or too lazy to check if forum has already creating thread discussing this for some time, especially for anything that requires card payment.
