Guild Wars 2

We have a buy-back feature, which I have never had to use. But I have twice now had my pack full and gotten the message asking me to Take All or Delete All and accidentally clicked delete. Today, I was accepting my Daily Achievement reward — a Mystic Coin and a Black Lion Salvage Kit — just as an event spawned on top of me. I panicked when I got the message and deleted my salvage kit. I feel sick over it. I tried to see if the item had dropped to my feet as loot, but it had not….

If we have a buy-back feature, a delete-all undo or at least an “are you sure?” confirmation for the delete all would be nice as well. Or move the buttons further away from each other to reduce error.

I’m sure people will argue, “Learn to read. Don’t be lazy. QQ moar” etc. But the same could be said to people who accidentally merch stuff, and they have a safety net.

Oh no, there’s been plenty of times I’ve done that (in almost every game I’ve ever played) because there was something going on, or whatever. I’m not sure how they would react, but have you tried contacting ANet in-game and seeing if they could do anything? I’m really not sure how stuff like that works. On the other hand, there will be plenty more Coins and Salvage Kits to come so don’t feel too down about it.

And for the record, I think if you deleted it because you clicked too quickly, it’s the opposite of being lazy. You’re just ahead of yourself! ;P

Thank you for your condolences, Bran. I didn’t contact ANet. They’re busy, and it’s my own fault. If it was bug-caused, I would. But I clicked the button. They cannot be held accountable for my mistakes. And yes, it is just a kit. There will be more.

I would just love it if it was a little harder to make that mistake. The buttons are so close together, and out in the field, so much can be going on at once, it can be hard to stop and read and make sure you’re doing the right thing.

I think the buy-back feature is great. I don’t want people to think I’m pooh-poohing that. But things are much less hectic in the peaceful environment in town. I’m personally not likely to accidentally merch something. But, man, that full pack sneaks up on me and, depending on the spawn around me, things can get crazy.

I absolutely agree whole-heartedly. Many times I wished there was a “Are you sure you want to_____” feature to make sure I didn’t salvage or delete something I liked or needed.

I seldom sell something on accident. The “Sell Junk” feature let’kittenet rid of the…. junk without accidentally selling something. I tend to horde all trade materials I get. Now THAT is a great feature. Selling with ease means less time sitting at a menu interface and more time out there kicking kittens!

let’kittenet? I think I meant to say “Let’s you get rid of” but must of mistyped something naughty.
