Gold Lock & Other Suggestions to Prevent Accidental Gold Spending ☯️

    I'm sure almost everyone reading this would have demolished some decorations with Greta the landscape architect to turn them into decoration parts. I'm sure they also would have had a message pop up before they demolished the decoration, confirming they want to demolish it. There is a box in the corner that says "Don't show until the next event" that you can tick that will remove the confirmation until she returns again.

    Perhaps we can something similar to this feature, but instead of it not showing it until the next event, it will stop completely. However, you can always turn it back on/off in the settings. I don't think this would be too difficult to implement in the game and would make a lot of players happier while still allowing others to use it like crazy if they wish.

    @ninjahuman (AU1)  If you had read this thread through that has been suggested and a few other good suggestions.  The bottom line is they do not care, they love it if you accidently spend gold hoping you will buy more.  They could easily implement a safety feature instead they choose a bad business model that is not promoting goodwill or sales.

    I've lost gold  that I have collected over a year! I bought the land for gold,  but I didn't want to. I wanted to leave the game! I think this is not a coincidence, but this is a deliberately made so. Too many of us to whom it happened to call it coincidence.
    Thank you camii89.

    It's not a dead horse, The horse is alive and kicking us but GGS is ignoring the horse. Maybe it hasn't had enough training. :)

    That's it! GG wants us to spend wads of gold to power train the horse?

    Its nuts and the pop up just stoll 15000 gold. Never got any back ever on my end. VERY ANNOYED HERE.

    That is a total 0f 30000 toke so far. I write them. They write back. I write back then never hear back ever.

    A pop up just stoll 15000 gold. I want it back. But I figure never get it back. Never have on all the other times ever.

    @Michaelmn569 (US1) Sorry to hear that. :(  

    Please can you tell me which pop-up it was & what happened exactly? There have been some safeguards added to stop accidental purchases  on things like "Favorite Offers", which can still be tweaked if they are not working effectively.  I would also suggest that you do contact support, because it is only by reporting such losses that they realise they are still occurring. Thank you!
  • 10,000 gold I'll never get back. Tried buying cheap cow feed from the flash sale. Stupid mouse double clicked and I ended up buying rep points too.

    I love the "can still be tweaked if they are not working effectively" [Derogatory remark removed] This can be "tweaked" just like lots of other bits within the game can be "tweaked" Like how the drop items in the events can be harder to find than rocking horse poo, just tweaking it to see how many will use gold to complete.  GGS will do nothing about a players lose because that means that their strategy is working. Instead of tweaking on  things like Favorites, why not ADD a fail safe to all gold usage. Here is one, it is very hard to accidentally use gold in the Fav's because you have to choose one before buying ...... love it though... safeguards added that we will only see if we accidentally click it, of course we will use gold and guess what... tuff.... o:)

  • @bikeboy (GB1) I agree that there are still places where accidental gold spending has not been addressed, such as clicking speedup buttons, but in this case I was specifically referring to the "Favorite Offers" which pop-up on the screen & were causing accidental buying. A delay was added to the "buy" button, so that it stays greyed out for a couple of seconds & Latten said at the time that the delay could be increased, if it proved to not be long enough, so we do look out for posts on that particular issue, where we may be able to do something to help.
  • yh this matter is really serious

    i many times lost my gold during harvesting my fields 
    i accidentally click on the not bought land and lose the gold 
    atleast provide us with a pop of sure or not sure @WascallyWabbit

    Well it has happened I lost 44,318 gold I was buying a GML and five tokens when my gold balance went down by that amt and it looks like I got 10 million more in cash.  I have sent a support ticket in and if this is not fixed I just may quit the game altogher. I have never bought cash in this game. THIS IS WHY WE NEED A CONFIRM BUTTON  WHY DON'T WE HAVE ONE.
  • It happened again.

    It is discouraging  that we have all these people from office yet this issue is not addressed other than we know you want it but we say NO,  I cant believe they come out ahead with all the people who do not and will not buy gold because there is no safeguard. There is an ethical component to this and it puts GGS in a sinister shadow.
  • So at least twice now, I've accidentally clicked on "finish with gold" or "use gold to purchase" and wiped out my gold!  There really needs to be an "are you sure" box that pops up whenever you chose to purchase something with gold. 

    Most recently I was working on "A real adventure" and I had plenty of apples to finish that part of the challenge but I clikced on "use gold." Very annoyed since I had other plans for that gold!

    Thank you

    and it is needed like yesterday !!
    Please.
  • I agree on that one.
  • I have just posted a question about a technical issue, and maybe this issue caused me to speed a few items that I did not want speeding. In the 4 years of big farm I have only clicked use gold accidentally once, yet now 3 times in one day. I am afraid the answer to our request for a fail safe on using gold ( ok today it was only 500 gold speeding some milk ) is in the above.. we use GOLD which is what GGS want. They do not have to even put a "are you sure" pop up, its simple... move the "use gold" button away from the exact same place as " sell" " transfer"  etc . Forgot which event but after clicking start, it changes to a blue ARROW, now most would think this arrow would take you to the event.. but no its use GOLD.. very sneaky    o:)

    We need a confirmation window for gold spending! I was looking through books in the library and went to hit the next page arrow and ended up buying a book instead! A hefty chunk of gold went right out the window :(

    This has been an on going request since the game was introduced. There will be NO effort to fix or add this as they make to much money from miss-clicks just like yours

    How do you know Mr GGS spokesman? One day, when nobody is buying their gold, things might start changing. Even lost cases can learn their maners sometimes. :)

    Sorry, but mods are often so ill informed (not their fault I guess) that I hardly take them seriously any more. Appart from that you are predicting future which I believe you can know nothing about. I've seen tougher guys then these come to repentance in tears. Hope never dies even if things go so bad that most of us finally leave the game.  :)

    Since this got merged, you can tell this "request" has been ongoing for a long time.

    And CM Latten said almost 3 years ago - "there won't be a gold lock".

    Could that change? Well sure, it could. But I wouldn't hold my breath, purple is not a pretty color on anyone. :)
  • Damaria3 (US1)Damaria3 (US1) US1 Posts: 1,737
    Well I agree with Kamilcon  that we should not give up hope that GGS will come to their senses and provide players with a gold lock of some sort with a switch to activate or not for those who may not wish to have this. They are emulating other games that have the good sense to provide a safety net for currency bought so maybe they will get with it and quit acting like they will go broke if they cant get gold accidently spent. It is a reasonable request and by not providing this feature it shines such a NEGATIVE light on their sense of fair play, and their integrity.
