GMs won’t help me with my issue of putting gil in the wrong plot while distracted

[FireMage]

Oh, I'm not trying to say that the surplus gives players an excuse when they make the mistake. It's just why such mistakes are likely to happen and how SE could help improve the situation.

As you say, it's something that we need to be especially mindful on those occasions with greater consequences.


Where did I say that?

Oh right, I didn't.

Too many of the confirmation windows are for things that are not important. SE needs to cut them down to what actually is important.

I get that General Discussion has been on the slow side lately with everyone back to playing the game instead of bored and just hanging out so you're not getting much material worth trolling but this particular effort on your part lacks your usual flair.

I can't tell if this weak effort means you're desperate for material or coming down sick. If you're sick, I hope you feel better soon.

Imagine actually trying to say that spending millions of gil isn't important. Garbage take as per usual from you. Also if anyone is sick here, it's you since you seem unable to push buttons correctly. Dismissed

Jojoya: The game needs to cut down on confirmation windows for useless crap so that players don't ignore the confirmation windows for housing.

Firemage: YO WAI U WANNA GET RID OF CONFIRMATION WINDOWS FOR HOUSING!?

The reading comprehension is amazing

As someone with ADHD as well, things get super overwhelming so we rush & lose focus- it's hard to stop for a moment & it's not as easy as just 'pay attention' lol
I feel your pain bc I did something similar on a recent lotto-now I'm out of the gold I needed for a medium but I do still have a nice small plot. It is what it is.

Just learn from the mistake is all I can say

It's hard to stop for a moment, yes, but not impossible. For important decisions such as this, you need to make the effort to pay attention.

All the confirmation windows are important, t-cup

Sadly if they allowed people to Withdraw bids you would DEFFINETLY see this exploited.

I'm not disagreeing with you because YES it's common sense to make an effort to pay attention- I tell myself this all of the time but it doesn't help.
AND when you don't think anything is wrong, the issue of double checking goes out the window

This ^

While yes, I've been on the other side of the fence at 1st with "we should be allowed to retract our bids etc"
I've seen so many people who would just use it to help their friend get a plot by discouraging others with a high bid

He knows what I said.

He's trolling as usual.

Sometimes I indulge his need to be fed. While he isn't pleasant to be around, I hate to see living things starve to death.

I say this as someone who's Autistic (so I struggle to pay attention, just for... different reasons) as well as someone who's partner is ADHD.

We've both developed a system that typically works for important things such as this: ignoring whether or not we think anything is wrong or right. We might get out of the house later, or take a longer time to do things, but it means that mistakes like this (which can translate to IRL! I've almost bought a TV that was 3x the price it was supposed to be) are readily avoided because we double, triple, quadruple check even when we're sure we're right.

Leaving the house? Check if the stove's off, the toilet's flushed, the sinks are off, and the keys are where they should be. Many a time's I've saved our house from burning down because of this.
Buying something? Check the price. Check it again. Make sure you check the price a third time because, who knows, your mind might've wandered.

It makes things go slowly and my GF hates it but, hey, when the habit's developed it just ultimately makes life a lot easier.
