sacrificing items - attn: developers

[leannel]

<p>One suggestion I'd like to make is having the "no sell" tag on inventory items also mean "no sacrifice" at the altar too.  After being a little to quick clicking my mouse I accidentally sacrificed a nice fabled item.  SOE was great and reversed it for me, but I bet it would  cut down on a lot of customer service petitions if the no sell tag applied at the altar too.</p>

Oh... and I always read here that SoE customers-service do <b>nothing </b>for us..... <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img mce_tsrc=" />(Which I already knew that this wasn't true.

dosent the altar already have a "are you sure you want to sacrifice this item" confirmation box?  the acedental selling of an item dosent have that is why the no sell thing is there.

It does have a confirmation box, I was just clicking thru to fast.  But if no sell applied to the altars too I'm thinking you wouldnt even be able to place it in the sacrifice slot.  What I did was accidentally throw an item in the altar and clicked thru to fast thinking it was the item next to it that had I wanted to move.  yes doh, should have read the box, but just did it all to fast.

Confirmation boxes are always tricky. I wasted several Calls of the Hero/rezz cast on me simply because I just happened to have clicked where the "no" button suddenly appeared. Another aspect of confirmation dialogs is, that every day you have to click through so many dialogs that you get a reflex to click "yes" or "no" by impulse because you've done it a dozen times in the last hour or so <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
