Terrible Payment System

[Neptune]

Are there really fees to use Click and Buy? I wasn't aware of that.

I didn't have any problems setting up a click and buy account. The only thing semi- inconvenient about it was my bank calling me to verify that a foreign company was trying to charge money on my credit card to establish my click and buy account, which wasn't very inconvenient.

If I need to provide them with a written notice for cancellation that seems fine to me. Also they haven't done anything shady to me yet as far as my credit card statement records go. Everything went pretty smoothly when I bought Crysta through Click and Buy for the Tokyo relief donation.

Doesn't seem like a big deal to me yet.

I agree Click and Buy is a terrible idea. After I found out FFXIV was going f2p indefinitely, I wanted to remove my credit card information from their site just because I am paranoid and don't want people to have my info if they don't need it. It was impossible and the only thing I could do was completely cancel my account. Something tells me though that they're still holding onto my credit card.

I have played many MMOs and have never seen such a convoluted registration and payment system. Why can't I just enter my credit card information in SE accounts page and then select an option for 1,3,6 months like pretty much every other company. That should be all there is to it, and it should be a process that takes 15 seconds.

For you guys is ok, but for me i'm having serious issue with payment gateway.

This is because Click & Buy, Ultimate Pay have just send in new policy that only able to take money from regions that SE has stated. Which then make my country not eligible to pay for the fees and make me fear in future that i would not be able to continue playing this game because they do not accept my country.

:C


I'm more shock taht they do not use PAYPAL... T^T....

I will never pay for this game if they use Click and Buy or the Play Online charge system.

Every other functioning worthwhile MMO game (even one from 1998 - NexusTK: Kingdom of the Winds) uses their own credit card transactions.

The fact that SE cannot do this is absurd. Furthermore, with all the security leaks and hacking recently I want my information as close to the source as possible, instead of a third party company that might get hacked for a completely different reason and my information simply becomes collateral damage.

With that being said, I doubt this game can ever return to pay to play and garner a significant amount of subscribers. I expect microtransactions and or content packages that you have to pay.

Are you reading what you're saying? Sony dont use third party company, they're the source, and got HACKED. Frankly using a third party source is probably more secure because its the ONLY thing they invest into. Sony is not investing primarally in protection. (Well they will now).

And besides, its a never ending battle and every company in the world is suspectable, no matter what you do, or any companies does. If a hacker wants in, he will find a way.

I dont even see the problem with ClickAndBuy, I found it insanely easy, all my friends did. It accepted my info straight away and I even got my CC changed on it quite easily. I dont know what you are all crying for. Maybe its because I'm in England.

I'm sad because Click and Buy replied to me that they are not accepting the cards from my country.. .

Can't even buy Crysta directly from SE...
Have to go through UltimatePay or ClickandBuy.

I don't understand why they can't piggyback on the PlayOnline billing system. This is perhaps the biggest step backwards for SE where FFXIV is concerned.

let's not get carried away
