    Your lack of critical thinking is astounding but not surprising and so is your ego - yeah, definitely not a mistake that happens to anyone, an intention...

    Actually for debit cards the expiration date means squat, as the card is linked to a bank account funds can still be withdrawn even if it has expired. I know this for a fact as I had a big argument with my bank about it, and eventually got a refund after  many complaints. For a credit card its slightly different, again personal experience from the two attempted Archeage gift packs.....strangely enough the only thing hat has been installed recently was Archeage beta....

     

    i just tried to make purchases online using 

    A - Visa Debit Card x 2 (2 different accounts)

    B - Visa Credit Card

    C - Mastercard Credit Card

     

    i used incorrect expiration dates for each card with all the other details correct and they all came back denied. the expiration date is there for a reason.. prevents fraudulent activity from old credit card databases :P

     

    Edit - also, when i purchased Defiance PC, i was double charged $100... i contacted support, they had a refund in my bank account in 48 hours... mistakes happen and trion is quick to remedy a mistake.

    Trying to make a new purchase is different to a continuous authority payment.

(Different card btw) My bank reissues the same number with a different exp date and Cva number, but that didn't stop Trion from charging me somehow. Had to fight with them a bit to prove the error was on their side, which they finally agreed to when they verified they had expired card info on file.

    Edit, I removed that old card info after that incident so I should be good during this current situation.

    The payment must be authorized and if your credentials are invalid, because they already expired, no payment will be processed. That was already explained to you but you still do not get it...

    did you happen to use paypal where you update your debit card details when you are issued a new card with expiration date / CCV number? i mean it wouldnt suprise me if people have used paypal and then magically thought that trion was using old card details.

    No, I don't use new fangled tools like Paypal, direct entry of a debit card only.

    Trion is an awesome company and I really don't think they would charge people money without them knowing. If that were true, and got out, that would be a huge hit for a mostly online gaming company. Do you really think they would do this? Start a conversation about this on their subreddit and I bet someone from Trion, maybe even the CEO, responds, doing it on here is just you trying to make Trion look bad.

    Oh dear...

    This is not the case of reccuring payment. This is not the case of recurring payment still going after the the expiration date.

    Once you cancel the sub, there is no longer any reccuring payment going on. If you want to subscribe again, you need valid card info. Period.

    I don't think it's Trion doing it, it's not what I've said and anyone who believes a company of that size would needs to lay off the drugs. That doesn't change the fact that it could be an issue at their end and not the user, nor does it change the 'expired card' debate.

    You are so clueless.

    When you cancelled your sub to Rift did you delete your credit card details? I'm guessing not. Therefore all I have to do is somehow acquire your Rift account details and I can then log into Trion's system. From there I can order stuff using your saved details. I never actually need to know your credit card details, just your Rift account details, which are far less ecure.

    I would suggest whenever you cancel any online sub you delete your saved card details before cancelling the sub.

    The accusation that Trion themselves are responsible for this are laughable.

    You better read the article you linked so you understand why it is "always" client/user fault...

  • MagikrorriMMagikrorriM Member UncommonPosts: 223
    Can't believe people use their bank debit cards or their personal credit cards on the net. A word of advice use either game time cards or pre paid debit cards. As of late a lot of gaming companies are getting hacked, companies have payment processing problems, etc. . Using game time cards or pre paid debit cards insures you don't have your money stolen.

    That is why you are an accountant, right? :-P

    Even in the link it is stated that the data are gathered from households and small sites. Why? Because those are obviously the easiest to breach.

    Gathering and further usability of data is far more efficient to do in quantity of small targets rather than trying to breach well protected international entity.


    I am not saying that big companies do not suffer from breaches, no security is 100% but the chance to break a security of large company is much smaller than to steal info from average user of the household. Thus, security weakest spot is client/user.

    Issue seems to be legit atm, With a lot of People affected. So there is something going on for sure:

    http://forums.archeagegame.com/showthread.php?32011-Trion-World-Unauthorized-Purchased./page10

    The fact that People with authenticators got compromised, made cringe a little and that something happend on TRION's end they don't want to admit.

    I at least just logged in and saw I still had a paypal Reference as payment Method and instantly deleted it in Glyph, as I am not going to do any business with TRION anymore anyway (for different reasons).

     In this case it weren't some rants. There are some very constructive posts in that topic among the usual rants as you say.

    Also, someone pointed out to a possible breach on the front end side of Glyph, that a hacker might have been able to break into the web server and managed to point people to a phising site for a short period of time until it was discovered and fixed by TRION.

    That one actually could sound very plausible and would render an authenticator useless ofcourse. And not something TRION would likely admit and announce to the world, especially if it was discovered and fixed quickly enough to limit damage.

    When they issue a new credit card it comes with that 3 digit code that changes (CVV) and usually the transaction cannot go through without that code being correct.

    Yes, I have read that post. Still does not make it a fact...

    I find it hard to believe a company would try to cover thing like this up as the damage potential is just too real and too large. Second, if there was such a focused effort to attack a particular company, I somewhat doubt that they would let them deny the breach.

    Anyway, we just do not know and it is silly to jump to conclusions. Only Trion and rogues knows the truth.

    "So - in reality Trion CAN NOT initiate a new charge for your  account (repeating monthly charges are different - which again you have to setup yourself) - without your credentials (which they don't have) nor without your payment info - which again they don't have."

    how WRONG u are there.

    I bought a founderspack for 44 Euro's

    Since "another" company got me into some sjizzle before i allways check the payment made.

    "You have given your authorization to use your PayPal account for future approved payments to Trion Worlds, Inc. .. You may cancel this authorization by clicking on Cancel."

    Hmz.. wonder what that does. since i saw NOTHING about giving them permission to do so.

    And yeah then trion can then milk my account for all its got without logginh into my paypall.

    I know trion will not do that, and that "other" company did not do that neither.

    But some bonehead that gets access to my archeage account can buy what ever he wants and my paypall gets charged.

    (never been hacked but hey i like to be save :P )
