Circle Jerks is a great band I have seen live a few times.. so the person in reference there was probably trying to choose a name based off of them without knowing what it meant. haha
@Shifted:
Truth.
@Lookitsandrea:
A fraction of the XP would be more considerable than no XP in my opinion.. but I could support either way.
This may not have all of the answers you are looking for, but I think you may get a chunk of it here:

This would be a great addition.. but I think it would turn the fastest leveling into repeating some of the quicker storyline missions as they reward a good deal of experience. It’s like having a better rewarding event take place instantly over and over.
@Phoenixlord:
I do not see how they could ignore implementing this type of functionality as your characters “look” is such a big aspect in this game and it would be very profitable for ArenaNet.
@Grimah:
NCsoft has a security feature set into place in such instances that you are experiencing to limit the amount of loss that could happen to the company in any type of fraud scenario. Examples of these scenarios are:
-X amount of transaction attempts per credit card/account per interval (interval being predetermined by NCsoft which would be set to day/week/month etc.).
-X amount of money spent per interval.
-X amount of declines or different cards being used per interval.
All games that I have ever played which provide a way of purchasing in-game goods for real money have the above limitations, plus others.
Another way of looking at this situation would be this: It has not been one full billing cycle since the game has launched. So, worst case scenario, let’s say you were using a stolen credit card for these transactions (for example purposes only and am not insinuating anything), the person whose credit card is being used may not even know any activity was happening on their card yet as their monthly statement may not have been sent to them and/or reviewed by the card holder.
One last example is that it is not uncommon for people who acquire stolen credit card information to launder that money through a virtual means such as money transactions through video games and then turn around and sell the digital items through a 3rd party site. This is usually done in high volumes and that is why it is one of the major reasons it comes out to a red flag in their system.
I understand, from your point of view, you are a great customer to ArenaNet / NCsoft by spending the amount of money you have for their services, but you should definitely give it time before you pose such a standpoint that either one of these companies are “Terrible.” I personally feel that with the high volume of transactions you have processed, and that the company is still willing to work with you (as the only push back is that they have you contact them first), they are providing you and everyone else great customer service.
