Its so simple they make it hard, because they don't want you to play.

Honestly guys a few thing here about the sony hacking.

1 DO NOT BUY INTO THE SONY PR.
2 NO NOT BUY IN THE WHAT THE HACKERS CLAIM

The house of reps commerce side had a meeting with sony ceo (who never showed up only theor pr rep) And it was found out that sony never kept their security system up to date nor had a firewall. Also that sony reported the incident 2 days after the fact and only had it investigated it days later. Pretty much the way sony ran their security anyone coulda hacked them. SE does try to keep up their security and so far from what I know has yet had a major incident.

I do not think we have anything to worry about.

Also Yes the ultimate play card can buy crysta. Tbh it isn't that stupid of an idea, considering how long it can take to get a credit or debit card. Add that the id theft that can go along with those. I perfer using a point system to buy stuff then relying on a cc or debit card.

That is correct the Written words have never been spoken. Though through movies these words have come alive.

Anon's(4chan) not the collective whole but a few individuals say that they caused it and such but have threated that they will release info next time but they are also users so I don't really see the point in there vendetta due to the fact when the attack Sony and attack other users they ineffably attack themselves.

But the attacks could of been to any company, sadly it was Sony as they disgruntled the wrong majority.

Sadly those cards I don't think are available here in Australia, so I'm stuck with clickNBuy though it looks safe enough... and will hopefully remain safe.

PS: I use a low Credit Limit credit card just in the off chance it gets stolen.... its my online credit card for games and unsafe looking purchases.

Keep it on topic guys this is about SE billing options not Sony being hacked. The point of this thread is to ensure Sony gets all regions proper billing options.

people here seem to be asking for something like paypal to pay with. I thought I would point out that click and buy is like paypal except its not owned by ebay. Its just a third party system many companies use third parties such as click and buy. I agree however that click and buy's service is quite poor compared to others, but SE have always used click and buy as a third party payment option, well for a long time anyway as that is what their online stores use.

Does anyone who has used ClickNBuy and gone threw a full transaction know, does it calculate using current conversions of currency?

I have no idea, and for someone who posted earlier we are not asking t pay with paypal tho it would be another option we are asking to pay with direct CC to SE directly.

Thousands of companies use Third party companies to do billing options with as its safer and easier to do so, and it isn't just small companies that do so. Companies like Aston Martin and Lush use third parties.

Almost correct. While the Ultimate Game Card to purchase Crysta IS available in Australia, the usage of Crysta itself is NOT. As crysta is not available to us full stop, any crysta we can obtain is moot and we are thus stuck with ClickandBuy, who charge a 3.9% surcharge for putting money into your clickandbuy account by credit card - our only option to charge our accounts from Australia. Plus Euro currency exchange rates. Plus Euro currency conversion fees from our credit card providers. Plus potential Euro currency conversion fees from ClickandBuy.

If this is not fixed come pay2play starts, I will have to reconsider playing, regardless of how much I enjoy the game. So please let Australians either:
- Pay in their own currency (even US dollars would be better); OR
- Allow us to use the crysta we can locally buy.

Still have yet to receive a comment by a Mod or Dev from this topic so i am bumping as I believe the billing options for this game will only turn away a vast majority of the playerbase. SE please fix this crap and give us a proper safe way to pay for our accounts.
