I am currently living in Japan, but I use my American Credit cards when making purchases online. The issue I’ve run into with Guild Wars 2 is that it is a ridiculous hassle for me to attempt to make gem purchases in the store. It seems that I need to contact support every time I wish to do so.
When attempting to make purchases from locations other than the billing address associated with your credit or debit card, it is highly possible that you will have difficulties completing your purchase without a member of the Payment Review Team reviewing your purchase attempt.
Evidently, I live in a region with “high risk characteristics,” and I was told there is no fix for this. However, I figured I would try asking on the forums if there is any way to remove this blockage from my account. Or, will I need to attempt to make a Japanese credit card if I wish to make purchases in Japan? I never have had to do with any other game, however.
