DrSleak Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 After accidentally purchasing an $8,400 helmet that my toon can't use I thought, after much cursing, that there must be a better way. Then it came to me... Please BioWare just make it so if you have the Shift or Ctrl key pressed you CAN'T BUY ANYTHING! If I have the Shift key down I don't want to buy an item I want to link it to my friends, left click or right click shouldn't buy it. Likewise if I have the Ctrl key down I don't want to buy the item I want to see what that item would look like on my toon, left click or right click shouldn't buy it. If I want to buy it I won't hold anything down just click. This might not seem like much but for those of us who have had this happen it's not a happy time and seems like an easy fix. That is all.

Seigyoku Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Is there a manner with which to buy stackable items in bulk? Maybe that's why it does this, but they could at least turn that off for items that don't stack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chomag Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I accidentally bought my 1st mount. I thought maybe ctrl-right click will show your character on it. I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaticSilence Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Hell yes, because of accidental purchases I am now paranoid of using the item preview when at a vendor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razhah Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 At least give the option to sell it back for full price if you accidentally buy it. I havent accidentally bought anything real expensive like some of you but I did waste some comms that way once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelColt Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Tbh, I do not agree with this suggestion. It is a handle tool for quick-buying items. However what they should do is allow a sell-back grace period. I take note of Heroes of Newerth, where they give you fifteen seconds to sell the item back at full price. TOR should do similar so that if you accidently buy an item you do not want, you can quickly sell it back and no harm done. Either option works though.

AJediKnight Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 There's always the 'sell it back' option that many games feature. Accidental purchases are particularly infuriating when you lose badges in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombull Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) If votes count, I vote for the refund grace period. You buy an item, you have 1 hour in which you can return it for a full refund. If you equip it, the grace period ends.

Baneberry Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) My personal fave! Ding 40!! woot lets go train my new skills. Click...click..click..... wait, I just spent 210k creds on mount skill #2... *Solution* please put the riding skills on a riding trainer or something. Its not that big of a deal, i would have spent the creds anyway, but it was def a surprise when i couldn't afford my other level 40 skill because i suddenly had less the 1k creds.

Accidental purchases are particularly infuriating when you lose badges in the process. This please! I lost money clicking wrong when I wanted to preview but that isnt too bad.....but loosing commendations is very very bad. Due to lag (thus clicking twice accidently) I ended up with 2 of the same items from commendations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unindel Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Is there a manner with which to buy stackable items in bulk? Maybe that's why it does this, but they could at least turn that off for items that don't stack. Shift+drag the item you want to buy into your inventory. It'll ask you to "split" the stack the vendor has. Choose how much you want and click OK and it'll purchase that many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claymaniac Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 We have a buyback option at vendors. Why not have a sellback option for a limited time, like say 10 minutes or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accidental purchases are particularly infuriating when you lose badges in the process. This 1 just happend to me. Very annoying as I did not relize at the time that the first tier of badge gear in kass city had light and dark side restrictions! Yes I should have checked all the reqs but still would have been nice to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure you can count on me to list this as a bug or high priority but yeah its nice if they would add a sell back thing at the same price, I spotted a lovely blue hat but its way out my price range (saving for my first speeder) it would be very painful to click it and loss half my savings.

Grebdan Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Can we do the same with commendations too, accidentally bought an item with commendations and had to sell it back for a tiny amount of credits. Was my own fault but would have been nice if a warning would have at least popped up saying "are you sure you wish to purchase: ....... ?" or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davvik Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 So glad I'm not the only one and glad its being looked at. I ctrl clicked a 25k speeder to try viewing it and bought it. So gutted as it set me back buying my rider training. Only just getting back to 20k savings and dare not view items again. I did post a GM ticket too but guess I won't get a refund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regnor Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 For the love of God, YES PLEASE give us a sell-back option or a confirmation dialog. Good user interface design makes it easy to recover from mistakes. My wife bought a stupid customization for her companion and is sitll fuming over it ...

Appletaz Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 A buy back feature with a timer for exactly what you paid for is definitely needed in this game. Also, if you buy for credits, you should get credits back. If you buy for commendations, you should get commendations back. The items for the vendors are listed with no rhyme or reason. It is really easy to click and buy something, when all you are doing is, say, checking stats ... or the cunning gloves are just below the aim gloves and your mouse clicks the wrong one. So many ways this goes awry and the system is absolutely unforgiving. But I will note that there are very FEW things in this game that are designed for the player's convenience. Since I don't know much about designing a game, I can only assume they put all their efforts into the cinematics and stuff, and felt that attention to the player interface was just money down a sink hole. And, granted, I have only played 4 MMOs, but I have never seen a UI so intractable and the player of the game treated with such disdain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnox Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I agree with the resell to vendor within a certain time limit is a must. Allowing you to get what ever currency you bought with it returned. Also, if there any reason why Mouse button 4 buys items from vendors and moves things around the UI? I use this button for team speak and I'm very confused to why it would be bound to eithe right of left click? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
