    Oh my love.....

    Lemme ask where you want the default at, Withdraw? Accept?

    If they defaulted on Withdraw then players will accidentally hit with draw and be forced to make the decision to confirm or not.
    If they defaulted on Accept then players would be locked into going into a run forcing them to make a decision to stay or get penalized.

    "Don't queue for something if you can do the run?"
    "Don't organize items in inventories while queued to prevent accidental accept/withdraw?"
    "Make sure you're holding Cross Hotbar triggers to prevent accidental accept/withdraw?"
    "Don't craft/gather while queued to prevent accidental accept/withdraw?"

    You're asking players the above to cater to this nonsense thread request?

    This thread was made from ignorance, Yoshi's team does a lot of dumb stuff in this game that is inconsistent with good game design,
    but opting to not lock a player into an unexpected window pop is a good choice and the wait option was duly needed.

    My tone in this reply simply comes my shock to see this being an issue at all, and I feel that the question of recent generation gamer's lack discipline.
    Feel free to express your feedback as is your right, but the consequence of thoughtless requests deliver responses.... like mine?

    If you're interacting with a NPC, or retainer, or marketboard, or gathering node, etc when it pops you are unable to confirm until you disengage, but your clicks now go to the pop-up window instead.
    This could also be modified to help assist accidental accept/withdraw, whether to place the window as a backdrop and not a focus, or making it just a notice until selected.

    If it's ignorant to ask for a QOL change that will give us the option to choose where the default is, then ignorance is bliss. ^^

    Which is something people do, pre-Wait button.

    Go for it, but half the time if you're organizing inventories, you're doing it from a retainer window that doesn't accept Duty prompts anyway. So moot.

    As people said, this issue isn't even real since you can't accept even while in the wrong class. As for withdraw, that would've happened anyway.

    That would imply that we didn't know any better. Ignorance is not the word you're looking for here. It's better to say laziness, which still isn't a good enough reason for you to post here in an attempt to call us names.

    Your post really was made because you wanted to listen to yourself put down a QoL some people want. Just like the Wait button was put in for some people, some other people want the default button to be different. As I stated before, not all of us need training wheels for our duty prompts. We just want the old way back or a means to default it back to something similar to the previous, one button click commence or withdraw.
