Unformatted: ability to buy FP straight from the GB menu

[larieu]

Proposal:
On the lower part of the GB menu for FPs contribution to have direct access to buy FPs with "Coins"
It can be one ( some / or all ) of the options:
- one button "buy with coins" which will pop up the specific buy menu
- one button "buy 1 FP with coins"
- one button "buy 5 FPs with coins"
- one button "buy 10 FPs with coins"
- one entry field to chose the amount needed with a "buy" button which will pop up the price and confirmation/ abort buttons


Have you Checked the Ideas section for the same idea posted by someone else? Is this idea similar to one that has been previously suggested?
Yes - not able to find any similar request


Reason:
in the current arrangement there are way to many clicks (over 10 per 10 FPs ... rapidly growing to over 100 for 100FPs) involved in order to buy a large amount of FP's when needed


Details:
Imagine this situation
You have enough "Coins"
You need let's say 100 "Coins" to add them to an 1.9 GB posted into a thread
You are in that GB level up menu
4 x click on the "+" button for acquiring FP's to get into the FP's acquiring menu
1 x click on 10FPs
1 x click on Message center
1 x click on the 1.9 thread ( or go to the GB route - no big difference on clicks )
IF LUCKY 1 x click on the GB link
ELSE scroll to find the player then 1 x right click on the icon and then 1 x click to GBs + 1 x click on the "correct GB"
1 x click to push 10 ( if not "smart enough" 1 x click on the variable FP's + 1 confirmation click )

Visual Aids:

Balance:
will give more time for battles/tactics/guild discussion...
it takes way to much time to buy and invest FPs in batches of 10 with the current system.

Abuse Prevention:
is a cosmetic feature to improve the play-ability
should be Abuse free

Summary:
reduce the number of clicks involved in current investing in GBs through FPs acquired with coins

Your post does not follow the requirements. You need to adjust it, or I will have to archive it.

Allow voters to change their votes - as your idea evolves, it may be that someone who was previously against the idea may now be in favor, or vice versa. It's therefore important that votes can be amended over time, in order that the vote reflects the current state of the community's support for the idea as it stands.
Allow the results to be viewed without voting - this is absolutely crucial, as if you do not allow the results to be viewed without voting, moderators cannot see the results either! This would mean we would still need to count + and - posts, and that would make your poll pointless!
Important: Please do not check either 'Display votes publicly', or 'Close this poll after:' - polls in the Ideas section need to be of unlimited duration, and we have decided that they should be secret.

It can be changed at a later time (when the vote is finished) to not influence the voters mind
to have their own opinion
I don't see it as mandatory at the beginning
The only beneficiary of this being public is those trolls who want to campaign against

This isn't a discussion. Format is mandatory.

You are not allowed to put a closing date on the poll, nor should you allow multiple votesd. Since this poll is corrupt I will lock and archive this. Feel free to post again, but make sure you do it in the right way.
