SQEX Attempt to Eradicate "Foreigners" from JP Server by BLOCKING/Convolute PAYMENT.

tell me how SEA players can have a legitimate address in their account if they don't live in EU/NA/JPN



so what do you suggest SEA players do to not commit address fraud?

That's the problem. Unless SE officially supports their home countries in one of the EULAs, the only way they can play is by committing fraud.

I'm not trying to claim anyone is a bad person for using a fake address or "borrowing" the address of an overseas friend. Gamers have been doing this for games not locally available to them for a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if a large chunk of the NA player base is guilty of doing it for other JP games that are locked to JP only.

But it comes with risks and unfortunately we've hit a situation where the risk finally came back to bite people. I highly doubt that SE wants to be turning away the SEA players but they may be caught between a rock and a hard place thanks to all the card scams that were going on in 2021/2022 and whatever is keeping them from doing business in the SEA countries.

If none of the workarounds that still work for others are options that affected players can attempt, they may have to accept they're not going to be able to play the game anymore.

There is no need for this kind of dislike towards a certain group.

I don't have a dislike here for anyone except the OP and his massive conspiracy theory.

I'm honestly hoping that something gets worked out that will allow SEA players to continue to play. But there's the real chance that the situation won't improve. That the risk of trying to play from an unsupported country.
