Every other online company in the world accepts credit cards without fees. I demand SE accept my (non 3-D secure) Visa/Mastercard. Even if I could make payments via PayPal, an accepted international processing company, that would be more convenient and safer than C&B, and not have me waste money via Crysta.

Get with the program SE. No matter how much of a 180 you pull on this trainwreck of a game, if the payment system sucks, nobody will pay. It's like, everyone WANTS to pay for the game (for whatever reasons?), but you won't LET them unless it's on your terms. Not very well played.
