Right now I have no creditcard and live in canada so the only option for me now is to use ISK to get a time card, but WTF Im seeing cards selling now for over 425mill isk for 90 day cards!! they have gone from 250 to almost 450 in just around a month.
Its fine that ccp allows this but cant they put some kind of regulation on its sale? If this price stays like this i cant play the game anymore, as its pretty hard for a newer player to make 450mill in 3 months unless i play way to much.
this is crazy

They need to set up a automatic bill payment that comes out of your bank account like a phone bill etc.

Very few bankrupt people are 'broke'...they just don't have access to the same vehicles for moving cash that others do.
As someone in a similar posistion and someone who has vowed never to use banks or financial institutions again, an ability to play and pay without having to resort to friends or family using their credit cards is welcome.

If you have a debit card, you can transfer funds to paypal and buy timecodes off an official ETC Seller using Paypal. |

You got to remember the primary reason why ISK-GTC timecard sales was introduced. It was done to combat ebay isk sales, while allowing CCP to benefit from said GTC purchases.
The higher the price of these timecards in isk, the better for CCP. Why? Because ISK will be worth less and less $$.
Consider this:
On ebay when GTC sales were introduced, 100mill isk was getting around $30. At the same time because of the value of characters were valued at approx 100mill isk per mill sp, it was deemed by the masses that a 30day GTC was worth approx 100mill isk. This could be bought for $15. Now as a result of this move, CCP has halved the real life value of isk in one move.
Today characters are valued at approx 200mill / 1mill sp. Is it a wonder that timecards have gone up to match that? No. Today 100mill isk sells for $15 on ebay, but for your $15 trough timecards you can now get 200mill isk. Again the value of isk in real life has halved.
What does this really mean?
Well an illegal macrominer operation would have to do 4 times the ammount of work to get the same RL benefit that they had to do 1 year ago.
As demand rises, GTC sales will get more and more expensive isk wise, and RL value will go down and down.

well put clone 1
kassidus,ISK for GTC is a bonus that people who make lots of ISK in game can take advantage of,alas i haven't got time to play eve 23/7
so if you don't like the price then go elsewhere,why moan about it ? supply and demand,the higher the demand the higher the price

You can use a debit card to pay, just as you would use a credit card. just enter the numbers and such and the money will be deducted from your checking account. I've been paying that way for over a year.

I pay with my Visa Debit card- it works exactly the same as a credit card, same price, same form, same numbers, only the money comes straight out of my bank account rather than being a loan. If you have any money at all, you can pay this way- you don't need a credit card.

a person can easly get 400-450mil in one week! then you got 12weeks to play :)
i can see GTC prices going past the 500mil isk mark, since ppl will pay that!
also its bad news for isk sellers, since now if someone wants isk they will get more isk for the buck if they sell GTC thus forcing isk prices down on ebay and other isk seller sites!

Shop around, I saw some available for 300m last night and it wasnt a scam.
Stop being lazy and expecting to get a good deal for 5 minutes of browsing the sell order forum.

It's simple economics, supply and demand. The demand is outstripping the supply so much, that I'd be surprised if you couldn't get 500m for a 90 day card right now. As it stands, if a seller posts that he has 4 card for sale, if you don't convo him within 5 minutes of the post, they'll all be gone. Thank the rise in isk farming, and by that I mean thank the people who actually buy from the farmers and make it worthwhile for them.
I don't know anything about Canada, but can't you get a Debit card that acts just like a Visa and takes right out of your account? It should work just like a credit-card version of the same card.

Go to your bank and ask them to lend you money to take a REER... They usually accept as they don't give you money. Pay the terms and 3 to 6 months later, you'll get credit card proposals.
Don't be late though.
In the time they were sending pre-approved credit card proposals (do they still do that?), my father received plenty after only 6 months.
