Ticket # 2738963

The Shifting Spacetime Pack is closing in a few hours. This was submitted 3 hours ago after purchasing 3 crates. Website errored out claiming it’s a bank issue (which sometimes happens with with payments to international companies.

No problem, called the bank, tried another purchase while on the phone. Turns out, no purchases after the first 3 was ever sent to the bank. They didn’t deny any purchases, the website just didn’t send any purchases to the bank and returned a bogus error message.

We are unable to authorize your payment at this time. Please ensure you have sufficient funds available, or contact your bank / card issuer for more details.

Fast forward 3 hours later for another try. Now there is a brand new error, an unadvertised limit. You are only permitted to purchase 3 crates in a 24 hour period.

Yikes.

So now there is an artificial limit on purchases for something that will disappear before the limit is lifted…

Just buy your stuff in bulk numbers on official resellers like Marquee Dragon.

You just put in how many times you want the item and get redemable gamecodes that you can then use with any account (if the pack has no redeeming restrictions - like a limit of only one per account).

All gets consolidated into a single purchase. Much more hassle free than on FCs store. And on the side you can have added benefits like discount codes that can be found, currency exchange rates if they are in your favor, a better base price if you are a non US country and FC already did the conversion for you in the store, and lastly they often have quantities available of last years packages or the last revision of a package, long after it was taken down from FCs store and as long as their supply from FC lasts.
