Hi all. I have been asking for this Wallet safety feature for AGES now… A simple GREEN or RED safety setting for your wallet, that you don’t accidentally go bankrupt spending 20 BILLION instead of 2 Millions… I made buying mistakes very often… last time I SOLD a SKINR for 600thousand instead of 600Millions… this is also a problem…. when you sell something for more than 50% less than it’s normal value an item, in this case a SKIN, the market pop up a window asking you if YOU ARE SURE YOUI WANT TO SELL those items for those -90% value… but it’s not there for SKINS… And when you buy something that is maybe not +90% of normal market value, but it’s more than of 10% of YOUR TOTAL ASSETS POSSESSIONS, a similar warning should pop up… maybe with also a threshold, like if you are buying something for more than 1 BILLION…. or even 100 MILLIONS… there should be a GREEN SAFETY setting on our wallets that warns us that we are above our threshold… I have burned one month of Omega with one single market error purchase…. again… And now I have to ask CCP if it’s possible to undo that market purchase… for the NTH TIME, PLEASE CCP, Add this wallet warning customizable threshold!!! Becuase my eyes are old, and I keep misreading a Million isk for a Billion isk, just because I can’t read a comma… ---

A more consistent margin warning would be nice, yes. someone else was complaining about it the other day already and it’s an age old issue. ---

“Control your spending” isn’t the issue, it’s fat-fingering in the wrong value or miscounting the zeros. I think it’s a good idea personally. ---

I Presented here my new Autumn SKINR Line…. I could ask 399.999 PLEX for a Skin, when its value should be 400 Plex, but mistakenly chose Plex instead of ISK as final Value when put in sale… If I was the unlucky buyer that would spend 399.999 Plexes thinking it’s just 400 PLex, I would be double stupid, because Plexes don’t go on with fractions… so no 0.001 PLex…. BUt I could think that way for a moment of dstraction…. Iskies… PLex… and then I-d have just gifted away 399.499 Plexes and would be completely ruined… I think it is one of those civilized settings that makes our life easier… like Prevent a ship to jump with Drones or Probes out…. it happens… more commonly than not… It’s a battle for civilization bluntly put.

It’s the damn comma and dots the issue…. my eyes can’t distinguish them all the time… you can put a lot of 0000 after a comma and that’s fine…. the problem is if I mistake that comma, which isn’t a comma but a dot… there I spent 2.3B for a damn Expert accellerator thinking it was 2,3 Mil… And I also activated it immediately before noticing the Wallet drop of 2+ Bill…. In a Week I went from 20+ Bil to 9+ Bil… Expert Accel error Abyss Vedmak Svipul+Clone 2Bil loss CN Raven LP Store BPC build and fit another 2 Bil loss… A Black Op Panther + Fit another 2 Bil… Another 2 Bil in other modules, Ammo, and couple of other Hulls… With the BPC I should have earned 250Mil by LP normal conversion rate, and I wouldn’t have purchased a CN RAVEN but a Panther with that money… * * * Some errors there’s nothing to do… but other’s should be preventable with minor UI improvements, maybe coloring 0’s past a comma in red… or changing the DOT font to something BIGGER… It’s far less complicated than coding a threshold warning.. Maybe it can also be already done, changing numbers, dots and commas fonts, other than zooming all the UI 200X… * * * * * * 15 years in EVE and I still do the same misinterpretation Errors like the first day… ---

OP does nothing but ask CCP to protect him from his own mistakes. I highly recommend ignoring or muting them to protect you from their lack of good ideas. ---

OP had this idea 10 years ago and he’s still asking for a consideration, CCP did some stuff in the meanwhile, so it’s not all worthless, it’s just speech… ---
