200 gems down the drain [CLOSED]

Sigh. I was sending a bunch of earth skylanders on adventures. Since I have done it so often, I just mindlessly click the buttons. Sometimes when sending on adventures, I accidentally tap the photo of the skylander instead of "select". This takes you to their info screen, but there you can still tap a different "select" button.

Today, I accidentally clicked Legendary Bash, which was still locked. If a skylanders is locked, instead of the button being a "select" button, it turns into a "buy" button for 200 gems. Yep, I mindlessly clicked on "buy" and wasted 200 gems on a character I don't give a damn about. Wheeee!

I do have the physical figure in the box, so maybe someday I will open it and enter the code. If this game is like Battlegrounds, it would refund my gems at that time.

Yes, if you link your physical Skylander to the game you will get the 200 gems refunded to you!

Or you could add a "Confirm Purchase" screen for tasks over 10 gems/2,000 coins and prevent the accidental tapping issue from happening to everyone.

Even just putting the "Finish now?" pop-up in a different place than the others would do the trick - but yes, given the crazy gem cost to accelerate tasks, SOME sort of method to prevent an accidental tap of resources would be nice.

Seeing as accidentally accelerating a 7-hour crop when planting all of them costs more gems than a Radiant Energy Field would be to buy outright! smilie

Prolly they want ppl to accidentaly use gems. Less gems you have more prolly someone will buy some.
