REFUND Option for tome gear

[AncientWillow]

You get a pop up asking if your sure take a second to read the text. Stupidity isnt an excuse and if you "failed" something like that all i have to say is learn to read.

You're telling a legally blind 39 year old man to learn to read .. for what?.. To make yourself feel superior?.. You sound exactly like the trash so many of us escaped from in WoW. Read the entire post if you want to try and make such scathing remarks. It's remarks like these that are being criticized by the majority here. Toxicity has no place in this community.

No,.. you know what? That's a fair suggestion. It's obvious I don't know how to read and I really should have gotten around to it by now. So thank you... thank you, Lavender Batbook for that astute advice!!

Legally blind doesn't mean unable to see at all. It means vision is severely impaired. Legally blind people are able to play the game with the help of UI changes that the game is designed to accommodate just as my father was still able to read the newspaper with the help of a magnifying glass after he became legally blind.

You don't have to be able to read all the text to be able to play. People have been playing games written in languages they don't know for years.

There is no harm being done by offering a refund period with reasonable restrictions. It does not give anyone any sort of unfair advantage over other players if done correctly.

The rules of engagement are simple.

If the item has never been spirit bonded and the player has not left the area -- item can be returned to vendor for cost of tomes.

Correct me if I'm wrong; Using an item to glamour another item spiritbonds both items, yes? So, this would prevent players from buying and selling back after glam.

If this is incorrect; simply make it to where any refund is null after closing the vendor window. Glamoring cannot happen with the window open. One gets the "Unable to execute command while occupied." if you try.

It only generates spiritbond if it's an item that can be traded to another player. I had even tested that with an Augmented Deepshadow necklace before I made my other post to make certain. Used the necklace to glamour a Crystarium necklace - no spiritbond. Placed it in my glamour dresser, saved it to a plate, removed it from the glamour dresser - no spiritbond.

I bought a Cryptlurker ring after doing Eden Monday night with FC. I've done 2 hunt trains with it since - still at 0% spiritbond.

I don't think a refund system that only works until you close the vendor window would be much use. Players rarely realize their mistake that quickly. It's after they close the vendor window so they can equip the item that they discover their error.

I still think updating the UI for purchases would be a good alternative if a refund system isn't feasible. Right now, the purchase confirmation is rather generic looking. Wouldn't the bottom be more likely to prevent mistakes? (yes, I suck at Photoshop)

I like that you post something like this after also recently saying:

Its called being dsyelix lol and i try rlly hard to even be close, try to realize there are conditions that effect that kind of stuff before using it as a reason to be dismissive.

Obviously you aren't dyslexic or you wouldn't be posting on the forums. Stupidity isn't an excuse, learn to write.

...Feels nice? No. I didn't think so.

Oh I’ve done this once or twice with poetics and raid gear.. just sometimes you’re in a hurry and you make a mistake. If they could do the buyback option with the same vendor that would be nice. But yeah also it is a kinda ‘you were warned suck it up’ thing as well. Wouldn’t hurt to add something though.

I don't understand why so many people are against this. Who does it hurt having this option? Even if you don't need it why are people so adamantly against a refund option?

Personally I'm not against it so much as I'm tentative to sacrifice other content or fixes towards other things so that they can repair whichever line of spaghetti code that prevented them from implementing it in the first place.
