Topic: [368342] Ruby Time Skip Warning

[-368342] popthegreat123 (US1) [US1] :: Oct. 21, 2019, 7:25 p.m.
So I was researching the market barrows level 2, and I wanted to use time skips, but I accidentally hit ruby skip and wasted 14k rubies. Could we add an "are you sure" popup each time you click ruby skip?

Yes. This is a great idea.

@Crom Cruach

Please use your handsome mush to convince the devs to implement this!

Been asked for for as long as I can remember on any and all ruby purchases.  It has showed up in a few places so it might have better than a snowball's chance in hell of becoming reality.

Ask gge if they can refund you one time. I did the same thing once and got them to refund my rubies.

Just to make it clear, it wasn't a purchase in the ruby shop. Just one of those buttons to skip time instantly using rubies

I'm out 46k because I accidentally hit the skip time with rubies for the Khan camp...

Big ouch. Don't even know why those buttons exist because I dont know akyone spending 40 dollars worth of rubies to skip a khan camp cooldown.

Don't even know why those buttons exist

Just for the reasons stated.  In order for players to accidentally press them...….

If you have thousands of 1 hours and 30 minute time skips, a ruby time skip on a nomad/sami should not exist, and why is it 10-15k rubies for a 1:30 time skip when you can ruby skip a 1:30 minute building for under 150 rubies?

That's an easy one.  Supply and demand.  To run a train you MUST use skips.  And people run thousands of trains.  There is a limited amount of time you have to run trains on an event. Worse in the old days when you wanted to get through the prize book using the bonus time. Many reasons why some people will pay for a time skip during an event.

Waiting out that 1.5 hours for a building to finish?   Most people have no problem with that.  Unless you have tons of Rubies laying around, and want to finish upgrading a dozen Graineries with purchased resources as well.  

Not as many of those folks around as you might think...….

But then that brings up the fact that you have 1 hour and 30 minute time skips. That just makes it pointless. If you have a sensitive mouse you are automatically broke
