Forwarded: (Guild) Confirm window when donating to Guild Treasury

[DeletedUser111030]

Proposal: This is a UI improvement; it does not significantly affect gameplay. The proposal is to create a confirmation ("are you sure") buffer when donating to the guild treasury, similar to the one already existing with posting trades. If this is too cumbersome for some people, you can have a "do not show again" checkmark.

Reason: This is a stop-gap to prevent accidental fat-fingering of guild treasury donations (this just happened to me, I meant to donate 50 goods and donated 500, throwing my game plans completely off for probably the next week), as this action is irreversible, and goods are not that easy to obtain (even with diamonds). Yet for some reason this has already been implemented in trades, where the risk involved is lower.

Details: Implement an confirmation window, with "OK" and "abort" buttons, showing the good type and amount clearly in bold, similar to the similar confirmation window when making trades. If desired, a "don't show again" checkbox can be implemented for people who find this annoying.

Balance: no balance effect

Abuse Prevention: none

Summary: Implement UI change to help prevent accidental over-donation of goods to guild treasury.

+1 - though the main issue with such warning boxes is that people start auto-clicking them because they crop up every time (I certainly do with the trades ones), so the long-term beneficial effect might be limited.

That's a good point, though even if the beneficial effect is limited, even a limited effect is better than nothing-- especially as implementing this shouldn't be too hard as there is a precedent for this kind of system. (I think you would agree as you voted up)
