But your analogy is off a bit.
Here's how THIS game works.
At the check out in line, drop a 50.00 bill on the floor, a store employee promptly sweeps it up and keeps it saying you should be more careful.

Around the last 5 minutes or so, a possible gold prompt is mentioned.
A padlock, OFF by default. Game is exactly as it is. UNLESS a player chooses to log in, then click the lock.
now NO gold can be spent. Anywhere. As soon as you click something costing gold, a pop up says "unlock your gold first, click here." Lock is open, game runs just like it is now. UNTIL the player locks it up again.
Fixes ALL the oopsies.
(Well I suppose someone could forget to lock their lock. Yea that would probably be me.)
My latest oppsie? Just the way our farms view is set up, buildings overlap. One farm I have a pig pen positioned (only way it fits) so it sort of overlaps one of the fields. I have to be VERY careful when replanting fields not to click the fast harvest on the pig.
And all of my farms have similar issues with the mill. More than a few times that got pushed when it wasn't meant to. Neither of these is worth contacting support over knowing full well they won't care. But it IS enough to keep my credit card far from the computer and spend nothing here.
There should be an option ingame where you can add a value to it so when miss-clicking you will be able to confirm that you want to purchase ingame items for gold.
I missclicked and yes i bought land for 2000+ gold instead of ingame dollars 500000.
so for example : ingame options limit set to 50 gold max without confirmation. (slider should be possible from 1-9999 gold or whatever )
all items / speed-up you purchase below 50 gold you can click 1 time, above 50 gold you will get the pop-up for confirmation.
AND DONT PUT THE CONFIRMATION ON THE SAME LINE AS THE PURCHASE BUTTON.
i think this will help people with low amounts of gold, and avoid ingame-loss tickets towards customer service)
BTW im also waiting for help on the goldfish rescue issue where i didnt receive items for the event, opened 4 tickets , started from last week friday . no answer.
So also a good suggestion, just help you customers, i feel like you dont care about anything and only want money.
make the game fun to play and dont destroy it. help your customers thats maybe a good suggestion
same as the goldfish rescue event i finished 2nd didnt receive promised items, 5 tickets running at customer service no reply at all waiting for 5 days, some people just like to scam others
GG LIKES shaking your pockets. And even if you contact support and tell them you clicked something by accident, their reply will be sorry, be more careful.
My answer to that is I put my credit card far from the computer. I spend NOTHING more here unless/until they fix this. I would spend… if my money could be locked up somehow until I'm ready.
But they don't care. I think they are kids who have no business sense what so ever running this show.
Customer service still didnt reply to my issue with the Goldfish rescue scam.
i have no words for these online bullies called customer service. i really want to use bad words, but they are just not worth the hassle.
GGS have just been bought out by new owners. Perhaps these new owners may have a more moral view on the matter and demand it be put in.
Can't believe the basics of this suggestion was initially made in 2013. Here's hoping Big Farm will adopt it soon.
The fact that this issue has been brought up since 2013 and still unresolved from players' point of view is shocking.
However, between 'giving up the hope' and 'keep trying to get the resolution' I am choosing the latter option. So here are my alternative suggestions.
* When players clicks anything that would take gold from their account, don't show any psychologically intimidating confirmation prompt involving the options 'yes' and 'no' but show a positively worded tooltip popup something like "Thank you for supporting the game. Click again to complete the transaction using gold" so clicking the same button again will consume the gold. Or a dialog like "Thank you for supporting the game. Press OK to complete the transaction using gold" so clicking this ok button will consume the gold.
* Alternatively, upon mouseover on any button that spends gold, show a tooltip "Press shift + click (or control+click, or alt+click, or just a doubleclick instead of a single click) to complete the task using gold". So at least accidental gold spending with a single click (which would probably be the most common accident) will be prevented without stopping anyone from spending gold in any way.
* Upon clicking a button to use gold, let there be a message something like "Press enter to proceed, any other key to cancel".
* Instead of one button let there be twin buttons (a pair of buttons closely adjacent to each other) which only if clicked in immediate succession will consume gold.
* Introduce an upgradable structure called 'bank' to be built where you can actually store a certain maximum amount of gold that cannot be directly spent. By default all the earned gold should go there as long as within its capacity. Players should then be able to withdraw any amount of gold from it. Let only this withdrawn or liquid gold asset be able to be spent with any clicks whether accidental or intentional.
Requesting the staff and the players to provide feedback over the above suggestions.
It is possible that accidental gold spending might lead to another gold purchase by game-addicted players to replenish their gold stock, which could accidentally be a prime source of revenue for Big Farm. However it would be appreciated if the staff comes with the will to reduce players' frustration and let players willingly spend every bit their gold. They will then earn players' esteem. Players will then purchase more gold than they otherwise would.
Thank you.
Renaming should be free and should not cost gold. Changing mind on the name is not worth the gold. Players will probably never spend gold on a new name because names only have aesthetic value, no function or increase in productivity. Also, appearances, horizons, and flags should cost dollars instead of gold.
Players should not be put in a dilemma on whether to build the level 6 or higher doghouse early with an ok name or to spend months finding the perfect name for the dog because it cannot be changed without gold after level 6.
To rename a horse without gold, breed 2 horses to make a goldy horse and then name it for free.
To rename a boat, demolish it then rebuild it for dollars then name it for free.
To rename a doghouse level 5 or lower, demolish the doghouse then rebuild it for dollars and name it for free.
Gold lock should be an option in settings so during a mission for a player with lots of gold, it is still possible to speed up fields quickly; The confirmation can then be turned back on after the mission.
Button in the confirmation window should be about the size of this blue button.
with goldbuttons where we accidently click on
while we're working our farms !
So, I have bought gold twice in this game, on the same day, and within the same hour for the coop CC I was in way back in August last year. I bought because I wanted to finish out the CC challenge we had that was the third or fourth one, back to back. I haven't bought gold since because what little money I had with the leftover gold was lost because of this game and accidental clicking.
So, here is my take on the this entire subject.
I don't have deep pockets, and I appreciate those who want to play and spend their money on gold.
I would buy gold once a month at the rate of about $10 because that truly is about all I can afford to do.
GGS would then be getting $120 per year from this lowly player.
Because there is no lock, I will not buy gold. Therefore, GGS, you lose out on my little gold purchase I would make if you would just give us what we want, A GOLD LOCK!
How many lowly players do you think you will get if you just give us the gold lock? I think you would be making millions of dollars because those $120 per year players would be buying your gold.
Get with it GGS, give us a gold lock and make this game playable, stop causing so much lag in this game, fix the issues.
Suzy
Edited because my calculations were way off, lol. I put one too many zero's in my total. GGS you would still make millions more if you would just give us a gold lock with an ability to limit how much is spent on one click. This leaves the gold available to those who want to have an easy click (with limits) and those who want it locked down until they want to make a purchase. You really are losing out. After all, a penny saved is a penny earned, and right now I am the one who benefits from it. It could be you who gets the benefit if you would just give us a gold lock.
And please quit insulting us by telling us to be careful.
