Terrible Payment System

[RedAffinity]

At some point in FFXI's life, they changed some kind of system that your credit card had to be verified through web or something. The CC i had on file didn't qualify for some reason, so I had to go through the inconvenience of changing to a new card.

That coupled with their absolutely horrible phone support. I really don't want to relive any kind of complications. Why can you simply accept a credit card on your website, and handle everything properly that people can trust and do it with ease. You can, but you know that'll cost you a little more per account and as a consumer, I won't buy it.

Give us options or when the F2P is done, as am I. I'm as patient as ever with FFXIV's development, but i'm not patient with anything else regarding this topic.

3D-Secure was BS from the start, but it was a helluva lot better than ClickandBuy.

I was totally born in the wrong country. If I had been born properly in the land of the rising sun, I could walk into a konbini and purchase a prepaid gaming card in exact amounts to pay for my games. Then again, I could pay with (non-3D Secured) credit cards as well. I'm sure they have some kind of smartphone app the lets them pay through PayPal just by waving their phone across the screen too.

The moral of this story: SE doesn't love JPs or hate Americans. They just got tired of seeing all those green pictures of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Alexander Hamilton. So SE hates foreign MONEY, not the foreigners themselves.

So when they wait until the 1st of the month rolls around to see how many players they actually lose, instead of doing the right thing now, and it turns out to be a LOT, does that mean we'll get a $1 a month discount from now on for being treated like white trash?
