With all the treads we've had about this since the games release, I think it's time SE just says something about this issue publicly. Seeing as how EU/JP's have a way to bypass this with time cards anyway, I don't see why they're keeping NA in the dark about opening subscriptions. It's especially annoying when you already have Crysta.

For NA 2.0's who want a Phial, it's been pretty frustrating seeing everyone else take their slice before you.
-EU's got them with time cards
-They were freely handed out to 1.0's
-1.0 subscription charges
