Lhetander.3069 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I'm also having this issue, as mentioned in the other topic. A 'fun development' is that since I had the issue and reported it to CS earlier today, the Online Banking and Direct Debit options have suddenly been removed for me.Returning player by the way, so I haven't bought gems in over 2-3 years. Really weird to suddenly have this issue upon my return. Hope to get a reply soon. Buying gems and expansions is rather integral to the game's experience so if I can't buy the gems...well, bit difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotharelion.6842 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Today at 02:17Hello,Your recent purchase attempts were caught in our payment processor’s general security checks. They are currently reviewing what’s preventing you from completing a > purchase and we will send you an update as soon as this is complete. Although it’s typically much quicker, this process can take up to 12 hours.We’ll get back to you as soon as possible.So that's the reply i got at 2 AM (my local time). So.. since the 12h has passed I tried to do the purchase (was hoping that they forgot to let me know they fixed the issue). Sadly no surprises there - still doesn't work. I even looked for the 3rd party gem card resellers but almost all are out of stock and only sell 2k gems for ridiculous price.So the fun part is that when the items I was interested in won't be on the sale anymore I won't need those gems anymore. Like c'mon ANet... I know that 1 client doesn't make a difference for the whole company, but it looks like quite common issue affecting plenty of people.This situation is kinda annoying. I would expect to get the problem solved within hours, not days.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timskijwalker.8526 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 My issue has been resolved after contacting support. Whole process took about 30 hours. Good luck to those who still have the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mizerus.8461 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Wow, I can't believe this issue has been going on for years... Has anyone figured out a way around it to be fixed on our end before waiting for support to even respond with something that's helpful at all? A business that makes customers wait 12 hours or longer just to check what's going on is not good business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Support actually did not do anything but inform me that it should be working now AFTER I have told them that my transaction went through. I have read that full article btw, but thanks for still pushing it to my face even though I said that NOTHING in that list fits where I'm having problems with.

Zaoda.1653 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I can't seem to buy gems either. Guess Anet doesn't want my money. Sent in a ticket, but by the sounds of it, doesn't really solve anything. I think I may have to resort to driving 2 hours to EB games to get enough gem cards for what I want. IF I can be bothered with that. I shouldn't have to go through any of this drama. No one should. If Anet can't even solve gemstore issues, or cheaters in WvW, how does this fill me with confidence moving forward with the End of Dragons expansion? I'm starting to wonder whether my money is best spent elsewhere with more competent companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinroh.4251 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I think I fall in the category of "Haven't made a purchase in a long time" so they disabled my ability to buy gems. Seems kind of silly, especially for someone wanting to come back to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serafina.8357 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Slapping a post in to say it's happening to me. I had an account compromise recently, but I've fully recovered it, and trying to snag the returning capes before they vanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterhart.1423 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 This just happened to me today (I've submitted a support ticket) I double checked with my financial institution and everything is good on their end they are telling me it is on the other end that the issue must be. I experimented and very briefly (as in don't blink) it flashes "an error occurred" but that is all. I guess I twiddle my thumbs till something gets fixed. You would think in this day and age it would be simple to purchase an in game currency and/or product. I have zero issues with Blizzard when purchasing this is a first for me.

CocoHugo.1706 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Happened to me just now, tried 5x using my bank card and still the same with "...error. Please try again later". I wanted some character slots. Guess it's not gonna happen this time. :s I don't want to send tickets for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furae.3769 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Mine finally managed to go through on the Character Slot day (after getting the red flash of of error 5 times). Today I was hoping to get the LWs I'd missed. I guess it's not going to happen. Does anyone know if they extend sales for customers trying to get them? I tried two different cards and paypal, but nothing changes. It has to be on their end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having this issue after never experiencing it before. Pretty frustrating. Consider buying gems from authorized retailers instead. The list of authorized retailers at GuldWars2.com is not up-to-date, but you can safely assume that the retailers that were selected in the -20% off spring sale of gem card codes are safe to buy from. Please note that the -20% off sale is long over, but they still sell gems at the regular price without the possible headaches of the DigitalRiver in-game store. USA went with Amazon.com in the sale: (link) US:https://www.amazon.com/Guild-Wars-Gems-2000-Online/dp/B08R21J9P7 These are the retailers that participated in the 20% off gem card sale for Europe, so these do have legit offers: (EU/NL)https://gamecardsdirect.com/nl-en/gw2-end-of-dragons-standard-edition/https://gamecardsdirect.com/nl-en/gw2-end-of-dragons-deluxe-edition/ (DE) https://www.gameliebe.com/guild-wars-2-end-of-dragons-standard-edition-download-kaufen.html https://www.gameliebe.com/guild-wars-2-end-of-dragons-deluxe-edition-download-kaufen.html (HU) https://cdgalaxis.hu/shop/letoltokod/81319/guild-wars-2-end-of-dragons-letoltokod.html https://cdgalaxis.hu/shop/letoltokod/81320/guild-wars-2-end-of-dragons-deluxe-edition-letoltokod.html (CZ)https://www.key4you.cz/produkt/detaily/8028-guild-wars-2-end-of-dragons/https://www.key4you.cz/produkt/detaily/8029-guild-wars-2-end-of-dragons-deluxe-edition/ (RO)https://www.licente-jocuri.ro/guild-wars-2-end-of-dragons-key-pc.htmlhttps://www.licente-jocuri.ro/guild-wars-2-end-of-dragons-deluxe-edition-key-pc.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyaroto.5927 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I found a post in reddit, https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/pvb45l/recieving_unfortunately_an_error_has_occurred/ The OP said, 1. Cleared guildwars 2 cache file in AppData 2. Re-entered payment information 3. Unchecked the "By submitting my order, I agree to the Terms of Sale of Digital River Inc." Checkbox and rechecked it before confirming the order. Because I'm using linux + wine, I don't know how to clear cache file, and I didn't save payment information. I only did the 3rd, checked and unchecked, and checked again, and it worked for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
