Confirmation box on AH

[warian]

I would like there to be an option in the game to turn on a confirmation box when buying stuff from the AH. Obviously I say optional because some people may be using the AH too much to bother clicking all those boxes.

I personally don't intend on using the AH too much and don't want to lose any of my hard eared db because I accidently typed in a extra digit. (VERY easy to do on those late nights)

This is the type of thing that you dont think is needed until it happens to you. Extra digit or swapped amount with price, it happens. As for optional confirmation, thats part of the solution, but imo it doesnt really fix the problem. It only catches a % of people who realize they made a mistake between the time they click "Submit Offer" and "Yes I'm Sure". The rest are just going to click "Yes I'm Sure, Damnit", without really looking.

In other mmo, the AH system is different and you are always VERY careful when buying big-ticket items and its not often you need to buy 1000 units of something. In potbs you do. Add in the "accept partial order" and the fact that people are looking to buy as many units at once at the lowest possible price; it can go very badly if a number is misplaced.

Confirmation should appear if you overbid by a certain % on the price per unit in that port, or the transaction will take a certain % of your total money. The optional part could be a slider to deterimine those %.

Imo, it fixes the problems that occur if you are trying to buy 10 logs at 1000 db instead of 1000 logs at 10 db. It fixes the problems of adding an extra digit on mainstream items (like logs) tho not necessarily of harder to get items, like recipe books as prices can vary.

It doesnt happen to everyone, but it will happen when you least expect it. Maybe this solution has been offered already, sorry if so! Thanks.
