Didn't read through the entire thread, forgive me. However, I think the payment method is seriously lacking. C&B is sketchy and I don't see the point of having to go through X service to get X service to pay for X service...just silly. SE, if you want to really get people to play once 2.0 goes live, I beg of you to please have a better payment system, preferably one that goes directly to your accounts and that isn't a convoluted type payment system.

You may have a great game at 2.0, but if trying to sign up for service is a huge pain, then I'm afraid that you may drive off new and returning players. Thanks.
