REFUND Option for tome gear

[Lostar]

Hello? Yoshi-P. This is your community PLEEEEADING with you to allow us the ability to trade back accidental purchases of tome gear.

I attempted to buy cryptlurker's glove.. bought it. was SURE I clicked on it. NOPE.. belt. WHY IS THERE NO SELLBACK OPTION?

That sounds like a you problem. Also, there is a refund option. It's called desynthesis. Instead of getting tomestones back, you get gil back from selling the item you got from desynthesis.

Would be a user friendly option to turn in gear you accidentally bought if not worn yet. Just like the buy back option we have there should be a return option provided we have a receipt.

I...don't see the issue with wanting or having a refund option. No, Desynthesis is not a viable option when it comes to wasting current tomes. Does the system check with you before you make a purchase? Yes. Does it double check? Also yes. But mistakes happen, and I think it would be great for people to have a way to get their tomes back to purchase what piece of gear they want. I do think, however, that the refund should be forfeit after a certain amount of time has passed, or if the person went into combat therefore increasing the spirit bond.

It's possible that the system can't track whether you've used it when it isn't something that binds to you like marketboard gear, and it certainly wouldn't have a timer record of how long you've owned it.

It's annoying if it happens but I don't think it would be common enough to justify building a system for it.

Anyway, doesn't it bring up a confirmation prompt listing the specific item you're buying?

I think in all of my years of playing I did it once, and it was back in ARR. I don't recall there being actual prompts initially but it has been a long, long time. I can't say for sure. Can't say I hear about it enough to consider it an actual problem either, so yeah, I don't think it's a common occurrence. But I also don't see the harm in having a system like this. Would it be worth it financially? Probably not, no. But I wouldn't be against them if they decided to do it one day because I think it's a good idea.

I feel like I see a refund post about once every / every other raid tier.

Here, fixed it for you.

You can have a one time item restoration used for such things. Call up a GM and request it.
Again it's literally once ever, so if a week or two of tomestones is worth it to you, blow it on that.

Just confirming - when you select to buy an item from the tome vendor, it brings up a confirmation box saying "exchange XXX Allagan tomestones for an [item]?" so you cannot simply click the wrong thing in the list and instantly purchase it.

Maybe if you double-clicked it and the "OK" button popped up directly under your cursor, you could accidentally buy it, but in any other case you have that confirmation and it's up to you to read it.
