This is not funny, not only is the names too alike, and they use the same ***** ICON! I simply suggest do what wow did and it will help with the item problem abit. Just have the stat be called "haste" and drop needing skill speed and spell speed. At the very least change the icons, and there is too much copy/paste of icons in general (better visual indicators helps get around needing to recognize names that are too much alike)
Why skill and spell should be one stat:
Then there is this:
I was buying that caster ring for BLM when I mistakenly hit the healing brace when I wanted the healing ring for my healer as well. The names are too much alike. When I contacted a gm, they will not exchange it because something I did in HW.
1. Get off the one time per lifetime item fix per account, there is no reason to be that strict in this game. 1. No gear is that valuable to warrant that, 2. it is too easy to make mistakes with how names of gear and vendors are set up, it is too easy to click on something you do not want.
In wow it gives you a 2 hour time span when stuff like this happens to exchange it back. The thing in HW would of saved me from the same headache, and this happened to me before in 2.0 as well, but I did not use the 1 trade per lifetime thing because it was not worth something like that for that item. I am really sick of trying to read names under a microscope, take a lot of time doing so, and still get it wrong with heavy penalties. I actually did meld skill speed in my blm once because of this issue and had to go remove it at bonefire place thing.
I wrote ingame suggestions before on this issue and back then when the 2.0 situation happened. Back then, I could not find someone to post for me. Now that it has happened again on another time gate item, it reminded me of this problem.
Long posts that explain this better and what happened (Repeat, the error pop up of unable to equip for current job does not help at all/changed nothing if I spent 5 hours starring at it):
