Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Players are encourage to buy from Authorized Retailers. Other sites may be cheaper, but ArenaNet does not support them, nor do those Gem Cards support ArenaNet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People buy the gems cards when they are cheaper, not because it is easier or whatever. This screenshot is from the website that I always buy from, in the in-game gem shop I pay €10,- for 800 gems. Can you count? Can you read?@Inculpatus cedo.9234 said:Players are encourage to buy from Authorized Retailers. Other sites may be cheaper, but ArenaNet does not support them, nor do those Gem Cards support ArenaNet.Yes of course, but what does that have to do with me? You said it ain't cheaper, I said it is and even showed it. If it's supported or not has nothing to do with your or OP's question. Also, I can not imagine Arenanet missing revenue on those gem-cards, because they are completely legal. A third company can't just put currency in the game, it has to come from somewhere. Now I understand why you have trouble counting, it's because you know Jack squad about economics. At least try to read better and keep stuff away from me that has nothing to do with my original answer.It seems you cant read after all, or at least understand what you read. Let me explain it to you:-This is a post regarding an issue anet has with his in-game gem purchase, it doesn't ask (or at least not me) where else can you buy gems.-If anet has its supported retailers why should i or anyone give their cc information to other third party not supported sellers? Seems like you know Jack squad about internet information security or transactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were saying it's not clear that it's an official retailer. And if it's not, then there's a serious risk of one's money going to waste.

I'm having the same issue detailed in this thread. I'm not feeling so confident that I just gave a company my credit card info and have no response on anything. I tried twice, to see if I did something wrong. Now I'm super worried I will be charged twice. :( I tried 5 times before they fixed it, I didn't get charged in any of those attempts.

Why does ArenaNet refuse to fix the underlying problem, which is probably Digital River? Why do you insist that EVERYONE submit a ticket instead of fixing the REAL problem once and for all?

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Maybe because not 'everyone' has a problem? Just some players experience an issue? You can be sure if there was a game-wide issue, there would be more than the handful of posts over the 7 months, and one player's resolution would have fixed it for everyone.Be careful what you wish for, some other payment provider might be even worse in your eyes.

Bloodstealer.5978 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Might actually be an issue with Mastercard, Visa etc... I know many cashpoints and pay machines went down all of a sudden where I live due to processing system issues.. when it happens it's not just one card that gets errors it a plethora cos they all transact into the same mastercard/visa payment system.. paypal will be linked to your banks/credit cards via the same system.. visa, visa debit, access, etc.. at least that my very limited understanding of it.If it is an issue with the transacting/processing, then there is very little ANET or even Digy River can do about it as it will be outside of their sphere of influence :0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
