So from time to time I hit the Gem "Place offer" button.
I never mean to, never want to, I got other things to spend my gems on.
Offer an option (a tick box next to the button that remembers its value over time will suffice) that allows the Gem "Place offer" button to be enabled or disabled.
I think better would be (and this applies to any gem purchase) that there is an extra confirmation "are you sure you want to spend x gems?". This should also apply especially to speeding up explorers and geos where you hardly even noticed you did it.
i've got no idea what ur talking about!
Edit:
Ah yes now i understand lol. those gem buttons pop up almost everywhere, just have to learn to be very careful.... i think BB likes that system!
No worries, it doesn't deduct gems until you actually place the trade, so there is no problem here (you have to click at least 7 more times before gems are used)
7? Perhaps, but you don't actually see that its been listed with gems until the listing is complete and then its too late.Quote:

So what you are saying is pretty impossible, you can't accidentally spend gems, you have to click to confirm.
With this confirmation window in mind, could anyone who mistakenly buys slots explain how they think it could be improved further?Quote:

Single confirmation window is so 2017..
You get the almost identical warning message when spending gold coin to get a new slot, if you accidentally hit the wrong button the one word difference in the dialogue box will not stop you. The process of spending gems needs to be different to the process of spending gold coin, it needs to stand out in the mind of the player as "not normal" or "different" and that way players will catch their error.Quote:

Pretty sure BB does not want to hinder and complicate gem features usage any more than have to by adding even more popups.
That you don't think the issue is important enough for a fix is one thing, but it false to claim it's already been solved, if it was already solved I wouldn't be here asking.Quote:

-1 not needed, plenty of warnings and pretty much impossible to accidentally purchase if you read what is on your screen before clicking
