Keep Command

[Daen]

How about a way of marking items in inventory so you don\'t accidentally sell them or give them away?  I recently picked up a sword to give a friend when he logged on, but because of lag I sold the wrong line in inventory (the highlight moved after I clicked the sell button). It would be nice if I could mark an item and get a message back saying something like \"You have that item marked for keeping\". I would have to unmark the item if I wished to sell it.

Excellent idea. I know a lot of these mistakes happen, quite often. I second the wish :)

[Ashamn]

Agreed
Same thing happened to me a lot of times..

Very good idea and solution to this problem, i third the wish

It\'s never happened to me before.  Instead of a keep command, why not have confirmation before selling something?

[Induane]

because a confirmation before selling every item gets extremely annoying, especially when selling large quatities of items.  This way only confirms things marked keeps, which is way less annoying.

llol or do what i do... if your inventory isnt litterally so full you cant scroll down any more... then move the items of wanting to keep to the bottom... otehr than that i am also afraid of selling the wrong thing... i \"whatever number it is on\" this wish

[shorty13]

I AGREE.  This is a Great and smart idea.

This doesn\'t help at all when you are selling items, since your entire (sellable) inventory is listed in the merchant\'s window regardless of how it is arranged outside.

No.  The items appear from top to bottom as they are ordered in your inventory.

The point is that there is still a chance to sell something important due to lag, or a misclick :) At least in your inventory, you can make space between things you want to get rid and things you\'d like to keep.

what\'s so wrong about using confirmation? I think a keep command sounds like a potentially useful, but kind of superflous feature.

if you want to sell many separate items quickly, I guess you could doubleclick and hit enter for each.

This feature sounds great! Would be easy to use and code I think.

Confirmation is annoying and stupid, nobody will read it anyways, they just click away without actually reading. I know I do.

But take into consideration some lag, you double-click, have to wait for the confirmation window to open, hit enter, wait for the transaction to take place, then move on to the next item.

Besides, when you confirm everything, you can also let it be completely, because sometime it gets atomatic, especially when selling larg quantities, and then you have the same problem again, you select the wrong item, double-click, hit enter and then realize that you sold the wrong item.
To show \"locked\" items, you could grey them out or make them look half transparent. And one button could simply switch between the two states, each way with a confirmation.

It\'s hard to see that I support the \"keep\" idea, although up to now I never suffered from this issue, but I also never managed to fil my inventory, so I am not much of an authority on this topic ... ;-)

Too slow ...

thing is, confirmation helps if you accidentaly hit the wrong item, then just hit \"no\" because that\'s not the item you were going to sell. This keep command sounds like overly micromanaging the inventory, but if there are some people who want it then I say make it optional. (I guess it would have to be :p).
