Thank you, and sorry I didn't see that thread, and I was trying to buy game time, and not crysta, so I thought it yet to be added.

TIL People don't have credit.

Wait, what's wrong with using your normal debit/credit card? As long as it's Visa/Amex etc won't they accept it?

Honest question.



That's a great way to get a thread locked.

^. It's a simple question because if paypal is your only way to pay, how do you do..none gaming stuff? In order to get checks and such the government has to recognize you, which means you can not only easily get a paypal card, but any other card. The "we live in the styx!" isn't an excuse because even in SEA like the Philippines you have numerous options and if you know anything about some SEA countries..it's not exactly a bustling metropolis.

If i may, I might have at least one way to answer your question. For me at any rate.

I despise credit cards and the fact that it is not spending my own money but a "credit" on which they charge interest and service fees.
- sure I can pay it off as soon as I put it on but there is still a charge for usage
- Yes I did have to use a credit card for PayPal to start it up (used my wife's since I do not have one, that took a long time to convince for that one.)

I much prefer to use paypal for payment instead of putting credit card information on every new site I wish to purchase something from, the more times/places you put it, the greater chance for fraud or other such issues.

Any PayPal using site will always direct you to the paypal site to approve the transaction, so you arent having to reenter information all the time. It is a secure site and one i trust.

I could use prepaid time cards but they are a rip off for legacy accounts, cannot get retainers, fantasia, etc.

I could get a prepaid VISA card but again, there are extra charges and fees just to spend my own money.

I've seen some screenshots of some form of debit card payment, I don't think its available in Canada, if it is, its not clearly labeled. Another beef I have is with how cryptic their billing methods have always been since FFXI. I like League of Legends and how clear and concise it is to pay for RP (my bank account may not agree with that but...)

So, you could call me cheap or stubborn or whatever, i really don't care. I dislike Credit Cards, and dislike them even more over the internet. I don't think we are asking for the moon to have the kind of payment option that is available for so many other merchants. I also don't understand why you are pushing back against this so much. There are many good reasons not to use CC for payment and personally if it comes down to CC only, I will probably not be playing. That makes me sad, cause I like this game and I'm enjoying it. There are several ways they can fix it and I do hope they look into some of them. They were mentioned in this thread and a couple others. I now have 2 months of game time, I hope they can get something figured out in the mean time, even if its just a time adjustment for Legacy players.

EDIT: just adding on after I read your last comment.

I think there is still a useage fee for the credit card even though you pay it off right away, but still, its the money shuffle game that could easily be avoided. As for building credit, there are better ways to do that where its a good debt, CC's are bad debt thats why the interest rates are so high. I'm 35 and still dont have one and don't plan to any time soon. I have a vehicle and a mortgage, both build credit score (mine is excellent BTW) and you have something to show for it in the end, good debt.

I will have to look at the options closer next time and see if there is a debit option for Canadians, they all looked like CC's to me. While i would prefer the security of PayPal, the Debit might also work.
