Bulk buying confirmation

Recommended Posts

Today I bought a lot of munitions, and not because I wanted to. I wanted to buy 10 munitions, but instead of clicking on the number to edit it, I unfortunately clicked on the "Buy" button directly. I doubt it's possible to revert the trade (if it's possible, I'd like to do that!!!!), so I'd like to propose a small change:

 

If the total cost of buying from the market is more than 100k, ask for confirmation from the player before processing the trade.

 

As it is currently, there are hell a lot of offers of total value close to a million or even more. Buying all the products in the offer, instead of 10-20/100 can cripple a nation. It is very handy to have the MAX amount of products offered already in the quantity box, but as I've experienced it results in some unwanted scenarios. And given that the "buy" button is so close to the quantity box, which I (I don't want to speak on the behalf of the other players, but I guess this is the case with them as well) have to edit every single time, so there is a chance of me buying all the offers incidentally instead of only a few every single time. All it takes is to position the mouse incorrectly and hit the button before you realise what you have done.

I am now trying to sell back the excess I bought, but this whole thing could have been avoided.

 

Thank you! :)

I think a confirmation screen might be tedious for most players.

Sometimes also, people send trades for an absurd amount of cash; 1 food for 10 million PPU who hope I assume that you accidentally click accept.

Seconded

Maybe, have it applied for personal trades or have players opt in? Or maybe for trades which are above the average PPU.

I don't understand how it would be tedious to have to press the space button to confirm you want to make a trade worth twice your daily income.

 

In my case it's tedious that I now have 800 more munitions than I need and that I need to sell them before the time comes to build a new city.

Why do we need hardcoded things to protect lazy people. 

 

Soon, we'll get requests like, "Hey, I can't login for the next few weeks. Can I have it coded so I login and protect my nation when I'm away from my computer?"

 

Take the time to do the trade. Sure, hitting space bar may not be much, but neither is paying freaking attention to what you're doing. Maybe instead of speeding through things you slow down and you won't have mistakes.

He's right, I'm such a stinker. Play my exceptional game!

Especially when it's over 100k. I buy and sell things all day and most of them are over 100k. Know what I do? 

 

I make sure I have the cash to handle it in case I buy too much.

Or make sure to not have enough cash on hand to be able to do it in the first place.

Surely the fact that the default is the maximum is for lazy people too? I think leaving the default amount as 0 is the best solution.

just because the Nazis did something doesn't mean it's automatically wrong

That is a good simple solution. That would stop those people from sending stupid personal trades hoping you accidentally buy them.
