    Cancelling a Buff

    Sometimes I, or a friend, places the wrong buff by mistake. Nothing worse than a friend placing a basket on my coinage at 6pm, meaning it will run out at 3am.

    In that situation I would like to be able to cancel the buff at 10pm and ask a friend to place a new basket. I realise I would only be getting 4 hours effect from my first basket, but that's fine.

    Another example is when 2 buffs run out 15 minutes apart. I would rather my buffs finished at the same time so I can arrange one swap. In that example, I could let one basket run for the full 9 hours, but cancel the other after 8h45m.

    It would be great if there were a "cancel" icon in the building details, near where you show a picture of the current buff. After an "are you sure", the building would revert to being unbuffed (you could change the remaining time to 5 seconds in the code to keep things simple).

    Simple and effective.

    I agree that there are times would it would be useful (albeit a little wasteful) to cancel a buff. Maybe, one day.

    Not wasteful at all. Today, if you have to leave for work or something similar before your buff runs out, your only the only options are either to pause the building, which wastes the remaining time on the buff anyway, or let it run un-buffed. Both those options are much more wasteful than wasting an hour of buff time. So I agree that being able to cancel a buff is extremely useful.

    Us highevels feel with you.
    While lowlevels are often asking for free stuff, we actually benefit better by sometimes wasting something ...
