Redundant thread is redundant, and has been reported for redundancy.

There, was that sentence more redundant than this whine thread made for no reason than you couldn't be bothered to look twice at the number you entered?

Likewise, there is no good reason why it should be implemented beyond "there should be a mechanism to prevent me making a mistake."

Mistakes happen. They are a part of the game. Be more diligent next time.

Hell... there are countless ways to "fatfinger" things while flying out in space. Why should market orders be the "special snowflake" and get extra safety nets?


edit: also... "demanding" that something be changes is not a good way to go about things. You are not entitled to anything any more than the rest of us.

Hmmm... you're right. It probably should be removed.

I very much dislike "safety mechanisms." It is much more entertaining and interesting when mistakes are a very real possibility.


DEVs rarely respond here. Like... at all.

They prefer players to hash out the ideas and argue why the idea/change is justified or what possible effects can be caused by them (because players can often see things DEVs can't). Then they cherry pick the best ideas among them.

Advertised as such, no. However, it is the common consensus of gamers who know what's what, that this is true.


You didn't bring a single argument that wasn't "OMAGERD!!!! CCP, save me from myself!!!"

Seriously, why is it such a difficult concept for people to understand? Double check your numbers before you hit OK. Anyone with a single iota of sense does this IRL all the time. You double check the totals at the store to make sure you didn't get overcharged. The store doesn't do this for you, it's up to you. You get statements so you can make sure there's no extra charges on your credit card. The bank doesn't do the comparison for you, it's up to you.

There doesn't need to be more warnings to keep you from ******* up. You just need to use your brain something more than filling the void between your ears.

You've played since 2005 and still unable to see the difference between 200.000.00 and 2.000.000.00?

Until CCP makes your market transactions idiot proof I'll recommend you slow and pay more attention. I totally agree though, the game should have installed safeguards so that players can 'win' no matter how careless or wreck less they are. I mean, who wants to think these days?

It's not a question of making Eve "too easy," it's about feature-creep.

OK, enough of this. How much did you lose? (I'm trying to put an isk value on 'CCP needs to fix this')

It is obvious, think of the noobs and children. Scammers and market bots need a little love. They always feel so left out as if they didn't belong.

You realize you just gave the very definition of feature creep, right?

So now you want to get rid of a few decent ways to make quick isk scamming too?

No. I've never misread a price in four years. Just take the extra half a second to read.

Yeah, that needs to be removed from the game.

My question still stands.

I honestly wonder what you're doing if you are misreading so many orders to ask for this. Pay attention!

Because if you have half a brain and/or the ability to learn from your mistakes, then you don't need this. If you lack the previously stated requirements, you won't be playing this game long enough for this idea to matter. Either way....

You sure? You're the one who started this thread simply because you couldn't read market orders. Remember that?

Why, again, is it so hard for you to simply re-read what you type?

Come on man.

I've played this game for four years and literally never done a market order incorrectly. Stop complaining because you're not capable of taking two seconds to read an order you're buying or placing. You do know how to read, yeah?

Sorry, what personal attacks? Your entire idea is centered around people who don't read when they buy things, and it limits emergent gameplay.

Again, come on main. Stop trolling.

Because if you have half a brain and/or the ability to learn from your mistakes, then you don't need this.

If you double checked your orders you would never have the problem you brought up in this thread.

Honest question, why are you saying you have a hard time doing that? Other than trolling, how is that hard? That's a legitimate question. Look forward to your answer.

And don't reference what other people say in replies to me please. I speak for myself.

Right....If you did double check your orders, you wouldn't mistype any of them. Don't ask for game changes in a sandbox to make up for something you messed up. I've been placing orders for four years and never messed up once. You know...read before you click OK.

Best of luck mate. I'm not wasting any more time here.

I'm in favor of not having the warning we have already, not having green/yellow/red to stop accidentally shooting people in HS, having no local in sov null, among other things. The game has been dumbed down enough already. You don't have to be 'good' to read something before buying/selling

Sorry, but still no.

Change is hard, so don't be scared when you have to change the way you're thinking. Get the hint with the responses you've gotten :)
