Payment Method Registration Errors [Error Code 401 and 601]

I'm still thinking that they are doing this on purpose to the majority of 1.0 players, so WE buy the game again.
I mean they make more this way.
I wonder if all the new players will have the same problem we have.

BTW when people mention account locked for 30 days, you mean that we can't even use a UGC on our Square enix account because it's frozen?

I really fail to see the logic in statements like that. Buying the game again isn't going to fix the problem, it's just going to let you play a completely different account for 30 days before you're screwed again. No one's going to keep buying the game every month to restart the game every month (unless they're making money from RMT). Besides, physical Collector's Edition, PS3 edition, pre-order bonuses was already enough to make people rebuy the game. The errors also made it hard for people to buy digital CE, which also milked 1.0 player money. These errors are sabotaging FFXIV's revenue, not making more revenue for Square Enix. If anything, this is giving UltimatePay/PlaySpan extra revenue, because people are paying for Ultimate Game Cards instead of direct payments to Square Enix.
