Guild Wars 2

So, I am a fairly casual player. I hit my highest number of karma EVER – 3000ish karma! go me! – last week. When the halloween thing came out, I bought all the tonic recipes in one fell swoop, on my character that had the greatest number of karma points to spend (aka the only character who could afford them all).

I forgot she wasn’t my artificer. I clicked on the recipes and consumed them all, then went to craft and went ooooops.
Now I have to
(a) drop one of my current crafting professions, pick up artificer (which I already have on another character), level up artificer (with crafting materials that I’d rather use leveling up my my OTHER character or my current profession [jeweler/tailor]), and then pay silver to switch back to the current crafting professions when I’m done.
or
(b) make enough karma to buy them again, and just write off the points I already lost
or
© just call it a loss and forget about it.

On the one hand, because of the new karma jugs, I’m going to go with option B. (seriously, zomg, I never saw that much karma in one place before!)

On the other hand, this whole mess (and my initial panic until I got that first karma jug 24 hours later) could have been avoided by a simple confirmation dialogue.

Character tries to use recipe. Game verifies whether appropriate crafting profession is currently ACTIVE. If so, recipe is learned. If NOT, a confirmation dialogue is triggered stating “You do not currently have the XYZ crafting profession active. Are you sure you want to learn this recipe? YES/NO/YES TO ALL FOR 10 MINUTES”

That way, if someone wants to pick up every recipe in the game and learn them all in a row until they get hand cramps, they only trigger the dialogue every 10 minutes. On the other hand, if someone picks up a recipe for their alt, they won’t accidentally consume it.
