That's the message I got when I tried to buy more Zen.
They it suggests that I purchase a zen card and some other option - :D

Oh really?

I've spent more on ship bundles and expansion packs -

What gives?

I know kids play this game, but I can assure you, I'm an adult and it's my card - Never had this problem in all the years I've been playin.

Anyone else ?
Misery loves company. :p

    There's a $200 limit then you get locked out for I believe 72 hrs.... it says you can get in touch with customer service to get the limit increased.

    Wow that's straight up the first time I've ever heard of this !

    I don't think I ever hit that hard cap before ever ! Is this something new?

    Found myself with some time off for a few days, thought I'd indulge myself.

    I wasn't letting myself get out of hand or anything, was just trying to take advantage of a bundle or two, now I feel like THAT GUY who's bartender's told him he's had enough. :D

    Yea, I've seen on my account if I get 100 bucks in Zen the 200 option disappears , then if in the same day I go for another 50 the 100 gos away. It's been that way for me since I started playing in 2014 or so.

    I think the "spending limit" is more a containment measure to mitigate how much damage can be done in a single fraudulent transaction, since they're perfectly happy to lift it if you ask them for it, probably demonstrating you're not some shady fraudster with a stolen card.

    Yeah, probably.

    Heck, it's almost a tiny concession to addicted lockbox gamblers that they don't spend too much money. Only 200 $ every 3 days. :p

    A great mechanic implemented. Prevents things from getting out of hand, regardless of the case.
