Why does FGO need to charge on behalf of others? Revealing the underlying reasons why players choose third-party recharge
In the popular mobile game "Fate/Grand Order" (FGO for short), Saint Quartz, as the core paid prop, has always been the focus of players' attention. In recent years, recharging services have gradually become the choice of some players. This article will analyze the reasons behind the FGO charging phenomenon based on hot topics and data from the entire network in the past 10 days.
1. Statistics of recent hot topics (last 10 days)

2. Comparison of charging price differences
The following is a price comparison between official recharge and mainstream recharge channels (taking the 518 yuan range as an example):

3. Five reasons why players choose to recharge on behalf of others
1.Obvious price advantage: As shown in the table above, through exchange rate differences or channel discounts, some recharges can save more than 30% of fees. For players who need to draw a lot of cards, they can save thousands of dollars in the long run.
2.Payment method restrictions: Players in international servers often encounter problems such as unsupported credit cards and complicated binding. Recharge agents provide localized payment solutions such as Alipay/WeChat to lower the operating threshold.
3.Demand surges during event: When the limited Servant Card Pool is open (such as the recently hotly discussed "Morgan Festival"), players' concentrated recharge leads to delayed payment through official channels, and recharge often promises "secondary payment".
4.Taking advantage of cross-regional price differences: Some recharge agents operate through accounts in low-price areas such as Türkiye and Argentina, taking advantage of the pricing differences in the App Store to make profits. The recent plunge in the Turkish lira has brought this approach into greater focus.
5.Anti-krypton gold psychology: Some players believe that "reducing official income through agency deposits can protest the operating strategy." This view was frequently mentioned after the "delayed implementation of the guarantee mechanism" incident in the Japanese server.
4. Risk warning and latest cases
Risk type | frequency of occurrence | typical consequences |
---|---|---|
Account ban | 37% growth in 2023 | Permanent account ban/Gem recovery |
Credit card chargeback | Mainly found in low-price areas | Negative Saint Quartz/Legal Risk |
Personal information leaked | High incidence of illegal production channels | Account stolen/fund loss |
Recently, the Japanese server has banned accounts using "Turkish Agency Charges" on a large scale (involving 8,000+ accounts). The Chinese server also updated the "Third Party Charge Penalty Announcement" in June, recommending players to choose carefully.
5. Suggestions on Compliance Alternatives
1. Pay attention to the official "Saint Quartz Lucky Bag" event launched from time to time, and you can get up to 30% off
2. Use the official gift card channel of Google Play/App Store
3. Participate in the official live broadcast redemption code event (40+ free Saint Crystals were distributed during the recent anniversary celebration)
4. Purchase through authorized platforms such as MyCard to avoid direct contact with private recharge agents
To sum up, the FGO recharging phenomenon is a special choice for price-sensitive players under the game economic system, but it comes with significant risks. It is recommended that players weigh the pros and cons and give priority to supporting the long-term operation of the game through formal channels.
