I'm afraid they think this is an issue they can deal with later, when the game actually goes P2P.
Only problem with this is that they won't have any time left to do it, then..
So now we know C&B is still allowed by the British government to do business.
That's not really making me trust them more, because there are dozens of other companies in GB which are ALSO allowed to do business, and which I wouldn't want to give my credit card number to, either.
I think the only real option we have is to use Crysta and never shut up until they give us additional payment options (or any payment options at all in some countries, C&B can't be counted as an option).
