I really don't say this to be insulting , however........you may be correct.

Where have all the "good" shills gone?
I think you underestimate the amount of people that won't notice they've been charged, and also overestimate the amount of people that are actually going to subscribe to this horrible game after the free month is up.
"a few dollars" is a month's worth of sub-fee from someone that probably otherwise wouldn't have paid it, and if they keep charging, then if you ever cancel you will be paying for a month you don't even want to play the game.
Everything about this game is cash-grab city and it's clear they know they do not have a decent product so they're trying to get as much profit as they can before it implodes.
As OP of thread I have made my point as well as others let us end thread now. And to those that know my name and ignore me in game THANK YOU saves me the time. To those that want to add me it is Talrune
Cya shortly
Hopefully people know how to read their cc statements. For my cc company, there's a section for "pending transactions". If someone simply checks the credit card's validity, it would show up under pending transactions. But if you watch it, those "authorize" only transactions do not get posted, they go away after awhile.
If they are indeed charged, they would be listed under posted transactions. Same day transactions rarely show up under "posted" transactions, because it takes a day to get it posted. So I do question people saying they see the monthly charge posted today under their cc billing statement.

It's not about the number who wouldn't notice it's about the number that would.

No...you over estimate the amount that will
"This may hurt a little, but it's something you'll get used to. Relax....."
If I add you...will you question why?
"This may hurt a little, but it's something you'll get used to. Relax....."
Most would, but if you know that most players are not going to subscribe to the game (and who would, really, to this game), then you're going to be looking for any way possible to at least get 1 sub fee out of some of them.
Any time I've been charged a validation fee it's always 1 dollar, not the full price of something. That's ludicrous.
Once again...do you know of what you speak?
ATM/Debt card charge the $1. ALL OTHERS charge the full price. So it STILL could be what you so arrogantly poo pooed
"This may hurt a little, but it's something you'll get used to. Relax....."
What do they gain when they get caught with their hands in something like that? I know there are corrupt businesses out there, but this would be a rather amateurish scam, as it's easily traceable, there are far too many who would make noise about something like this, it would be idiotic.... How can you not see that?

I applied the game keys for two different accounts, in both cases I got asked to set up a subscription method. I didn't think much of it as that is standard practice... Then I realized:
- Both accounts did not receive their 30 'free' days of game time included with the Imperial Edition purchases.
- Both accounts state I have 29 days of playtime remaining.
- I was charged twice on my PayPal account, for a monthly subscription fee.
This is practically a scam, I expect my subscription money refunded.
UPDATE: PayPal now lists both subscription transactions as cancelled by the vendor. Apparently they do this with all payment methods to verify the legitimacy of the information... Still, a piss poor way of handling a launch, too much confusion because they don't bother explaining any of this.
my card got pre-charged 50 dollars one time for something that cost significantly less actually, due to a promotional deal, however the service required that amount (the regular price) in the account to process the charge and finalize the transaction (begin service). Some systems are just whacked.

Like Distopia said....you really think they are scamming us? Go through the normal checks and balances...STOP the friggin moronic conspiracy theories...
"This may hurt a little, but it's something you'll get used to. Relax....."
They've already acknowledged it and have said contact them in the case of billing error, IE they seem to have expected issues.

Before? you mentioned nothing in your original post about even attempting to contact Zeni, or maybe look to see if any news about this issue was posted, we can only go by what you write, and what you wrote sounded as if you'd done none of that, if you don't want to be accused of trolling, formulate a more concise post.
They gain money.
And even if it is a mistake, that just proves that they're capable of idiocy.
And besides, as this thread aptly shows, any amount of "noise" that is made will be somewhat countered by fanbois rushing to defend the newest big MMO.
Your posts show this also
"This may hurt a little, but it's something you'll get used to. Relax....."
Oh ok let's get personal then, Fanboi.
people like you really need to contact the merchant before creating slanderous posts like this on other gaming websites.
WTH, you think fanbois on forums could save them from the lashing in the media, not to mention possible criminal charges?

LOL how is it slanderous to make it known they were incorrectly charged, which is a horrible mistake at best and a scam at worst.
lol so a simple billing error is idiocy LOL what a lauch, people are such fools these days. What harm have they done, none, there was a computer error and they have acknowlaged it and advised they are more than happy to help any affected customers...give them a freakin break, these things happen, and HAVE happened in most other major MMO's over the years.
