Error 601 payment? NO MORE. Fix in here

[Darico]

The 3rd month is basically a freebie because of what Valarice said.

Gah! Face palm. I'm not trying to draw anyone into pointless arguments here, but, at best, it evens out. There's no "freebies"! Gah! That makes it sound like SquareEnix is doing us a favour. We're still running around the long way so that our beloved friend SquareEnix doesn't look stupid.

What they're doing is stupid. What they're not doing is stupid.

This is all amidst a wide, clean, clear canvas of a successful relaunch. The game has really been not that bad. I would still like to play again sometime soon. But that canvas is getting so speckled. It's really getting hard to see a worthy product with all this shit flying around. This one just hit me in the face is all. And it stinks.

ultimate game cards give you crysta. You get 20 dollars worth of crysta with that 20 dollar card. You then spend 12.99 dollars worth of crysta on the sub, anad have 7.01 dollars worth of crysta left over. You don't magically lose that extra 7.01 dollars worth of crysta.

Lol Yes obviously. However if I want to buy another month after the first one, I would only have $7.01 dollars, and so I would need to buy yet another $20 card in order to purchase enough Crysta for the second month giving me $27.01. Then I spend the $12.99 and I am left with $14.02. Now on the 3rd month I re-sub, I will be left with only $1.03. So it would be time to spend $20 again. - I would never break even, and there is nothing else for me to spend Crysta on (for FFXIV). So eventually when I decide to stop playing, I will have some amount of wasted money left over. Hence, paying $20 dollars for a month of service that costs 12.99 is NOT a FIX to the problem. But go ahead and do the math to figure out how many years of service I need to buy to break even. As frustrated as I am by not being able to pay, I could use some more idiocy to make me laugh and lighten my mood. Thanks.

I fail to see what you are trying to accomplish. The money left over is used for the next month. So unless you throw a fit and quit, (Which seems to be the case anyway) you still are paying for what you use regardless. The service sucks, we get it. To sit there and (stomp, scream, whatever else you're doing over there) throw yet another fit about a fix, which works mind you, is the "idiocy" you are speaking of. Take that moment and laugh at yourself now.

On topic: It works. Takes 5 minutes of your time to do. The service sucks, stop beating the horse. Do it or shut up about it being cheap, etc. If you want to wait, then wait. But there is no point in throwing fits about something that can have you playing in 5 minutes.

What if there is no "next month?" What then? Would we get our $7 back? Paying $20 for a $13 sub is not the answer. Not to mention the hoops you have to jump through just to use it.

Yes. You're failing to see what he's trying to accomplish. And, yes, I am laughing at myself a little bit. But this is the world now. This is how these systems work. It's called having a voice. The people who gave me the problem (relatively minor though it may be), won't let me speak to them. When I try, they ignore me and I'm presently sitting on a two day old apparently useless time ticket. What's more, it seems they don't really care. So, I'm going to come on here and complain, see if others are also complaining, and then complain some more alongside them. Why? Because if nothing else, this is one way to be heard. It's quite frustrating when it seems like such a simple problem, but you have no one to tell. And sometimes, you just have to say the same thing over and over again until you get bored of it, which I will. And am. So, I'll leave. Soon. I just wish SquareEnix would fix the problem that is clearly theirs/give an explanation. But at the very least, I wish someone over there would read this. :P

I sort of want to force them into deleting this thread too. At least that's some kind of a response...

[Corea]

This is bull. I'm not going to jump through hoops just to play.

[Juz]

In before fanboys come in here and try and defend square for shutting the other thread without giving as a fix. As for the game. Been on a WoW trial and having a blast, i've done pretty much everything in this game so I can't be bothered to come back now unless I get a bit of free time.

[Lauro]

Bump , for people who do care

[Eoyote]

Although I appreciate that some of you have found a solution, I can't say I'm fond of paying $20 for my $13 sub in addition to calling a long distance number to activate it...

[Rissy]

Does Square Enix deserve your sub if they won't fix their broken billing system and denies they have a problem. You're harassing third party Customer Service Representatives because Square Enix can't do its job...
