    Subscription options [EU]

    Edit:
    So even though ultimatepay has a warning that states there might be extra fees, there were none.
    Turns out I could just use paypal/ideal and I was being paranoid while running for the hills.

    My bad: To anyone who might be interested: original post below.

    Original:
    So I'm not really happy at the moment,

    So I needed to pay for subscription today, no biggy I can do that.
    But the issue is, I can't really. Well I can, but then I'd screw myself over financially.
    Allow me to explain:
    The options for payment are credit/debit, Crysta, or game cards.
    I have a debit card, and I'm Dutch (kinda important here /(edit) So it's a little more localized)
    So I chose credit/debit.
    Surprise, only credit cards supported or no debit card I use at least.
    So then to Crysta, but that supports the same cards (mine not included) or some external service, for which I'd need to pay extra.

    So my options are: Find a store that sells game cards (not that easy around here)
    pay extra to get the same.
    or get a credit card.

    In Netherlands (edited down from europe) credit cards aren't really a thing. People only use them for bigger purchases, we tend to use debit cards for everything else.

    What irks me here is that the payment options are well, old.
    There's no PayPal, no Ideal (I can understand that, as it's only dutch)
    But there's no easy way to actually pay with your debit card here.

    I personally refuse to pay extra, to get the same just because my payment options aren't supported when they're quite globally acceptable (PayPal for example)

    So, I'll probably not be playing till Dutch debit cards are supported, or PayPal.

    (Edit) Additional Info:
    I have a Maestro Debit Card.
    (just about all banks here issue maestro cards)

    Also I'm not getting a credit card, just because of a game.
    (there's no other reason for me to get one)
