Terrible Payment System

[SilvertearRen]

A lot of people in both the XIV and XI forums give the dev team a lot of flak for not really discussing this matter but I think most of that is unjustified. The decision to use Clickandbuy was likely neither Yoshi's decision nor Tanaka's and was probably determined by the CEO/board of Square Enix. Our community reps can only provide the feedback to Yoshi and he is likely powerless to really do anything to resolve the matter besides suggest to his superiors that there is a lot of distress about the billing system.

Which is precisely what we need to see done. If he doesn't man up and break the barriers, he's going to be just as big a disappointment as Tanaka was. Anybody can create content, but not everybody can accommodate their audiences as well as some people can.

Well we don't know whether he has, hasn't, cannot, or will not. Even if he has he may be under duress to keep quiet about it, after all, they do pay his checks. And I've read in numerous places that Square Enix's upper management is not exactly the friendliest group of people, so I feel he is innocent until proven guilty.

Regardless of whether Square Enix cares about what Yoshi, the devs, or the community thinks; they not only want to make money but need to. Suffering heavy losses already with XIV, XI subscriptions is currently still a large percentage of their revenue. When Sept 1st rolls around if the 1000 replies on the XI's forum's version of this thread are serious about standing up against SE and Click and Buy (which many are for the sole reason they cant even USE it), then Square Enix's revenue will take another hard hit which the upper management is likely aware they can't sustain.

But who knows, I want to have faith in Square Enix but I'm not sure if they will budge on this one.

If their past behavior is anything to go by, they are going to bollock this up.
