surfpin please!
warcrap
umm just a quick question..
are they ever gonna let us use surfpin to buy the bonus mission pack?
i seriously dont wanna use a credit card because its not safe anymore.
i hear that you can already use surfpin to make some purchases in the gw store so why not the bmp?
im sure this will also be extremely profitable for Anet since many users dont have credit cards(kinda the reason most of us bought gw)
edit: i also have evidence that nc-soft has closed a deal with surfpin.....so this leads me wondering why we still cant use surfpin to buy the bonus mission pack!!
http://surfpin.com/clients.aspx
im almost certain that anyone that can do anything about this is not going to read this thread =(
adding surfpin will be a whole lot easier than shipping to stores and if they add surfpin to the entire online store im sure anets revenue will increase by more than over 51%
so right now i dont see a reason why they dont let us use surfpin and i really want the bonus mission pack but it is not within my reach until i can paybyphone.

Q&A forum gogo.
But I'm not sure on if they will do it.
I think you can use PayPal, and Mobile Phones...
Oh yeah -- there's always pre-payed cash cards.

well i just think the easiest,quickest,and safest way to pay is surfpin,
[Morkai]
Why is it the quickest etc? It's obviously not because it's taking you longer to use it than it would to just use your card >.>
Also, why isn't it safe? It's Arena Net, a huge multi-million company, if they do you over, sue for a LOT of money. I'm no legal expert, but i'm pretty sure you'd make your money back and a LOT more.

True, and if it's not NCSoft, you woulda been exploited for your pass ect even with SurfPin, PayPal, WHATEVER you use.
U Wanna Die
phones are being tested somewhere in Europe, I don't know about paypal, but they should have more ways of paying.
warcrap
theres also alot of people who dont have credit cards which is why they bought gw.
so why do we have to use them now?

ever heard of a debit card? and you can get prepaid credit cards too.
warcrap
i rather not go through all that and instead just use surfpin which takes only minutes.
the biggest reason why i got into gw was because i thought i would never have to use a credit card!
edit: plus its really not safe anymore you can get your identity stolen i dont think that will happen with surfpin.

I'm STILL waiting for ANet to get their Ingame Store working with ALL gift cards, because I'm too young to prance over to my bank account and present my social security number to get privileges to call up this company and present my phone number and billing information to get approval for making an account on their site just to put ten bucks on a lousy Visa Gift Card.
Instead I use the pre-paid-amount American Express ones, which, sadly, do not work.

I only saw Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express in the store via the game. Is there a link to the store where you can use other methods?

I have another question concerning the online store:
Do they allow the use of Paypal? Somehow alternate payment methods do make sense to me even though they cost a little more.
Edit:
Sorry I forgot that you can use PayPal to get stuff...though I do think it might be a good idea to allow a variety of payment methods such as other alternates and maybe even mail orders (ie. Send your account name and password and the item you wish to purchase enclosed with the proper amount of money.

Why are you making that request here, GWG have no influence on the payment metod in the Store.
Here is some Threads about Payment Metod, see if you get your anwser in them.

so surfpin is the best alternative.
and also guru can have an influence on anything as long as anet reads the threads.

TBH, I have had a few credit card fraud things hit me (lucky I was paying attention and didn't lose out on it). Not to implicate NCSoft, but that was the only common connection that I was able to find in the cards that got hit.

if the bmp was sold in real life stores im sure anet would make tons.

LOL, They would have to sell it to the stores for less than $5 (stores need to make profit aswell) plus pay for disk and paket and distrubution, it's not free. Not much left after that.
They don't lose many sales by selling it online, people who really wants the BMP find ways to get it from the online store.

adding surfpin will be a whole lot easier than shipping to stores and if they add surfpin to the entire online store im sure anets revenue will increase by more than over 71% (study made on online games who use surfpin).
so right now i dont see a reason why they dont let us use surfpin and i really want the bonus mission pack but it is not within my reach until i can paybyphone.

What looks simple to you might not be that simple in real life when you have to look at the bottom line in economics. (Income-cost=profit)

So that survey have no bearing on GW and their use/not use of surfpin.
What I can gather from your posts, your parents don't approve of your "need" to buy the BMP pack, so you want to charge it to the phone bill and then take the "punishment" later when the bill arrives? Am I correct?
