There is no possibility to have as many cards as options in the game, so basically, some people (the majority) will have some left-over Crysta in their account. This is free spare cash for SE, at no interest rate. Timed by the number of players using prepaid cards, this actually makes quite a sum.

This scheme is unfortunately legal in most, if not all, countries (at least in US and Europe when the servers shut down they have to cash us back that leftover, but that's it). You may want to support that, but I certainly don't want.

Also that's totally overlooking that the retainer is basically more inventory space: something that every other game offers for free (or in-game currency).
Then the rest can go to next month? i mean who does not want 2 more NPCs? room is very limit even for casuals. But i agree the only issue i have with crysta is i have to pay 15$ when i only want 12.99$ of it. it would take 3month to get enough money to just buy 10$ worth because i have 6.03$ left over then i have about 1.01$ left over -.- so at the end SE would stay with about 1.01$ of my money and can't do anything with it even if i get a npc they still have 1cent. I would not mind so much but still i like to just pay my 12.99 and noting more.

so on that i agree.
