Could we have Paypal as a pay method instead of click and buy? DEVS please answer.

I would not even bother with C&B I was for them at first, then after reading all the "info" on them, I canceled my account with them and luckily had card issues of a another kind, so I had to get a new CC. I now use Paypal > Crysta method. I am more confused then anything, as to why SE screwed this up so badly. but like I said before.... it is very clear that SE cares for their customers in the following order....

JP > US > EU > other

Sega is worse IMO though... they are more like....

JP>screw everyone else (Talking about Phantasy Star Universe)

Before SE even released this game back over a year ago, they should have researched a bit more into options that everyone could use.

How do you go about cancelling an account with them? I've heard horror stories about C&B that makes PayPal horror stories seem like fairy tales. I'd like to completely cancel my account since I'm lucky enough to have UltimatePay available for me.

Edit: WHOA, BACK THE TRUCK UP. You played PSU too? I was Bahn on PSU - sometimes hung around that area where everyone grinded for White Beast S. I know exactly what you mean - the rest of the world got complete crap for content, and unlike Square, the American division was at the mercy of Japan's division (they had to go to the Japanese division to get new content). It's kinda ironic that we've moved on to something that is both better yet worse at the same time, huh?

Hey. I tried to cancel my account with ClickandBuy, and there were problems. So I just took the easier route and had my bank cancel the card and issue me a new one. Problem solved, and huge "WTF" moment for CnB when they find out the card they have on file is invalid.

I cancelled my click and buy account when I got ffxiv at sept 2010 and I still keep the email proving I cancelled just in case. They will charge you a convenience fee of you don't cancel the acc. With them. And probably even sue you if you just cancel your cc. Better do it the right way with them. Buying crysta with PayPal is much better and reliable. So far no problems with either click and buy and payPal.

Wait, wait, PSU players here? Are we talking PS2/PC or Xbox? I played mostly PS2/PC till it closed, name was Dyne there. Bahn honestly sounds familiar, but maybe I'm getting confused with the other Fighting Vipers character if you weren't on PS2/PC.

mmmm PSU.... god I wish Sega had at least SE's current standard of CS -.-

[Climm]

YES YESSSSSS!!!!!! i CANNOT express how MUCH i want this....

The funny thing was, my name was actually a joke based off of Terry Bogard of Fatal Fury/King of Fighters' fame BURN KNUCKLE move. I had no idea there was a "Bahn" from a Fighting Vipers game. And yes, PS2/PC. PC - such a bad port.

Not going to happen. No Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity either.

PSU player reporting in. PC/PS2, used same nickname

What I find extremely infuriating about this issue is the following:

Complaints have been lodged with Square Enix about the payment options since FFXIV's launch.
We have been given an "official" response on the matter, and how long ago was that? Around six months ago.

Bayohne and other reps: Are you telling me that your company is so incompetent that they cannot iterate a new payment system inside of two months?

Seriously, WTF. I know there is a faster way of solving the problem, and the way Square's been going about it is horribly slow.

Get it done by February, if you want to have any hope of keeping FFXIV on life support.

Simple: If people get too frustrated with CnB and are being double-billed, and they cannot get their subscriptions for too long, that's going to turn them off from the game - quite possibly permanently. Someone made a huge mistake in not having better options available for when subs get restarted.

If SE has an exclusivity agreement with CnB, then no, there is nothing they can do until the contract runs out. Yeah, it sucks, but sometimes people and companies make decisions that backfire. Personally, I haven't had any issues with CnB, but apparently many people have and it is definitely in SE's best interest to add more options at the earliest opportunity.
