SE, Why charge money if you do NOT have the means to accept it??!

[AkayoAkayu]

SE can charge if they want, they pretty much know that most of the ppl on the forums arent gonna pay cause they whine about every patch, never satisfied. Chances are that if you start complaining before the patch then your argument isnt very valid. Bitching at SE because youre close-minded doesnt solve anything.

Yeah it let's you specify how much crysta you want to purchase and you'll have to do the calculations based on:


Otherwise I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to yet, though it may not be active for everyone yet until January.

#1 they haven't charged yet
#3 when they start charging and they do not have a "proper" option to pay, then I'll side with all the flamers
#4 usually ppl would point out a potential issue "hey you guys should really work on this cause its coming soon and if you don't have it set up by then it would be really bad" then if the actual issue exist "OMFG yOU #*@! TARDS can't get anything done right!"

but it seems ppl choose to skip part 1 like i chose to skip #2

I really don't get the point of the Crysta system, unless i missed something? If you use crysta, you still have to use a credit card to buy it....through click and buy. So what's the point? It's just an extra step as opposed to letting click and buy charge your card directly. If crysta was purchasable on cards anywhere, like xbox or ps points or w/e are (maybe they are? but i haven't seen anywhere), then maybe it would have some use.

Right now Crysta just seems like another of SE's proprietary failures that they hope will be expanded in the future, like lolPlayOnline.

Crysta was a universal currency they used for shops and etc along side real money, they extended it to SE account system. Playonline was created as a portal for the PS2 to log into multiple MMOs they've ran as well as a strategy and hint thing, so it wasn't "failed". it just had 100x more usefulness in Japan than it did in America/Europe which only had FFXI and Tetra Master.

Also Crysta is 1:1 purchasable in places that support Paypal/ultimate pay and the Crysta system (SE has no bearing on Paypal/Ultimate pay support, that's a separate company.)
