Terrible Payment System

[Eunys]

You can tell people who don't read a thread before posting like Jennestia. If he/she/it would have read the thread they would know that some people don't even have options of paying, because the ones made available in FFXIV and FFXI can't be used in some countries. Forget all the C&B stuff, forget the Paypal, UltimatePay, heck forget FFXIV even since it's currently F2P. There is just no way SE will be able to make it if their players can't even pay their subscriptions.

Neither FFXIV or FFXI can make it much longer if people can't pay. Before any other uninformed people post take the time and read the thread.

I agree, while I am not a fan of Click & Buy this thread is about more than just that company. They are just easy to complain about due to them having such a bad reputation, banks tells people not to use them, having fraud charges etc.

I feel this is more about the lack of choices, if you take away the names these are the issues with payment::

-People can use a company with complaints against them that EU banks have said are unsafe

or

- People can spend MORE money per month than is necessary to buy fake money to pay for their account.


Those are the choices, then you have the issues of:

-Some only get Crysta as an options

-Some only get Click and Buy as an option

-Some get both, yes, but both choices kinda suck its like a rock and a hard place, do I wanna pay more per month with my real money so I can buy fake money so I can pay for my game.
OR
Do I want to trust a shady company that has many complains on them that will charge me 5.9% every time they pull money from my acct every month because I don't use the EUR or the GBP so that's the charge for an exchange rate.

-Some don't have any option payments at all and can't even give SE their money if it goes P2P.


I know some are saying that we don't have to pay yet so why complain because it's not a problem yet. Well do you wait for your car to break down to fix an issue? No, if you think you have an issue to take care of it BEFORE it causes more damage.

FFXI players are already having issues, I do not want to have those same issues. I would rather them know now that people either don't like the choices or don't have ANY choices so they have time to fix it, which with their post over on FFXI forums it seems 'they are looking into it'.

Also can people please keep this on topic... and new people to the thread please read what people have said so you understand the concerns that have already been raised.

Thank you.
