Could'nt agree more with this thread, I actualy had a friend give up on the game right at account making process because click and buy gave him problems.

SE please add a "normal" means of paying for subscription that doesn't alienate people or makes paying to play a huge hassle.
Just a simple credit card subscription is what the majority of the bigger MMOs have atm, if you aspire for XIV to be succesfull with 2.0 etc you simply can't have such a poor payment system.

If nothing is done then you WILL loose a lot of customers due to this.
