ethics Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I don't think you have a choice once you connect your account to steam all the transactions must go through them. This is why i still haven't linked mine, although all the deals tempt me damn them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtexas Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) If you made your account through the game website, you can use the other methods. If you made your account through steam to play warframe then you must use steam wallet. They havent really found a fix for it yet. I do play the game through steam and I can still pay in other options besides steam wallet. Edited July 24, 2013 by Dtexas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethics Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I haven't used steam wallet but i buy things on steam through paypal... can't you add money to the wallet from paypal then use it to buy plat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use paypal to add funds to your steam wallet. Steam accepts paypal purchases. Also, if you make your warframe account through steam, you can not use any other purchase method than the steam wallet. There's no way to undo the steam link to your account. The only thing you can do is make a new account through the Warframe site, though you won't have anything from your Steam-made account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ethics Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 You can buy plat, through the stated methods, choosing not to is totally up to you. but if you like the game it seems odd that you'd handicap yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't get is how people can afford to pay with their phone accounts, and not be able to afford paying with a debit card, credit card or bank account through paypal. Who pays your phone bills? Your parents? Ask them to buy you some platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't see why you can't take some of the money you put into your phone and put it into a bank account instead. Checking accounts, and debit cards, cost exactly $0. The only requirement they often have is that you usually have to open the account with $25 or $50, but after that point you can have any amount in your account you want--you could take all the money out right after opening your account if you want. So not being able "to afford a debit card [or] bank account" isn't an excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teriuchi Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) So not being able "to afford a debit card [or] bank account" isn't an excuse. And even if it were the case that you cant afford such should you be buying platinum in the place? I highly doubt it. Also, I can recommend Paysafecard. Quite useful and you can handle things with cash. Edited July 25, 2013 by Teriuchi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I couldn't understand a word of that sentence. Everyone can afford a basic checking account and get a debit card. There are a lot of banks that have free checking account services, and only require the person to open an account and deposit a little bit of money. So to say someone "Can't afford" a free checking account is something I can't believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teriuchi Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I am aware of that. However, as he argues that hes problem is that he cant afford some option why is he desperately seeking to buy platinum. If you are low on cash and dont even live at your parents you probably shouldnt be putting your last €€ into electrical goods on a game. Just saying.

Draco_VW Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) i need to have a phone, my house dont have a phone so i have a mobile phone, the montly charge its 10 bucks and my tight budget is for food and other bills but the good thing is that the money i need to put in my phone (so he dont get cut off) stays in my phone until i spent it and in my country phone numres from the same operator have free calls and text message so i rarely spend money from the phone that why i can use the phone to buy plat because i need the phone i dont know how is in your country but in my if u loking for a job u need a phone to get called if a offer appers and one more thing the banks in my country dont give "free" bank acounts especially to unenployed ppl.

Llokii Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Can you pay for your food or other bills with your phone? If yes, do that and get a prepaid card. If not, this is just another in a long line of disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mempha Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Sorry to hear you are having this trouble. I understand what you are saying, and I kind of agree, the fact that you are forced to go through steam cause you made your account there, when other options are avaliable is kind of dumb, but it is what it is:\ Hopefully you find a job soon so you can get a credit card and sort it out so you can buy plat that way :) Hope things work out for you mate.
