Paypal please! (or Riot :P)

But its true. Simple issues that wouldn't require a lot of work to be solved once and forever especially when so many people are asking for it. Why do you think do they still alliw rmt bots to spam you with tells and the horde of DoL bots screwing over the market? Neither is an issue on japanese servers. Japs are new to mmo's and the devs themselves chose to ignore the pleads of us on non-jp servers. Paypal as payment method? Lolno keep begging while watching yoshi choose not to accept the money we're trying to throw at him.

Trixxy, Camate has already said they were working on it back in October, we are mainly asking for updates on this and also providing other means of payment options that they may also look into. Belittling the developers and their nationality is not going to help anything.

If there is an error while trying to pay then you should wait for at least 24 hours
because if you try again right away and the same error occur then you get locked out for a certain amount of time (I think 24 hours initially)

If you try again while you are locked out then that ban period get doubled
If you try again then the ban period get doubled again

so you either have to wait for the ban time to expire (they don't tell you how long is the ban in the site) then try again to pay or you contact them and if you convince a helpful agent of your case they will remove the ban.

That is how the system works (at least how I think it does).

I also support the idea of selling crysta cards.

ive had this prob as well it wont let pay with debit mastercard this will run people off fast if dont fix it plus dont u want are money isnt that point of making the game so it would be a good idea fix this fast

Update: I would like to add a different method of payment that could be used in lieu of paypal.
-Offer Crysta cards (similar to Game Time cards)
-Offer an option to convert game time cards to crysta
-buy crysta digitally off the Square Enix Store

any of these would be cool to me however.

-Offer an option to convert game time cards to crysta

this would be the easist option for them as the game time cards are already in place. should have been a nobrainer from the start that those time cards should have doubled as crysta cards

[Kiara]

Agreed.

PayPal is a very popular and widely-used payment method in many parts of the world, especially in North America.

It would make sense that Square-Enix should do everything in their power to allow this option as payment; it can only HELP Final Fantasy XIV grow, allowing players who only use PayPal to actually give SE their money.

They have already commented that they are working on it. Look back in the dev tracking if you want an actual official post. I'm in the same boat and waiting patiently. I got a time card for xmas but once that runs out, I'm unable to play until they add paypal back in.

Here is the post:

Greetings,

We understand the frustration that the removal of the PlaySpan, and by extension PayPal, billing option is having on customers that relied on it for paying for subscription fees or for the optional services like retainers.

We are currently working on implementing a PayPal payment option and we hope to have this up and running soon. In the meantime, if you do encounter errors when attempting to register your credit card, please contact our Support Center for assistance.

This was from all the way back in mid October. I am curious though on what they mean by "soon"
