It's not fair to spend rainbow stars by accident so easy

Last two days, when I attempted to get booty shake gesture by chomper, while I realized that can't do that because of stupid bug (already get it from Rux shop month ago), somehow I bought 20 prize bulbs for 800 rainbow stars! And to make the trouble even greater I do that again one hours ago!

So I spent precious 1600 rainbow stars on 40 prize bulbs that I don't need because I get them in 2 to 3 playing days.

I know that's my fault but simply it's not fair to do such a mistake so easy!

To be honest, I'm desperate with that!

  • @Fiky39  It needs to be reworked so it's much less likely that you will spend rainbow stars by mistake. Other players have reported this issue on these forums so you're not alone. Perhaps there should at least be a confirmation screen so players have time to react before making an accidental (or intentional) purchase. Can't hurt, right?

  • Ohhhhhh @Fiky39  I feel your pain... I have done that too... twice.... although it was for 250 stars for 5 bulbs I think... so it cost me 500 stars... and I nearly had a breakdown but oh my goodness 1600 stars... that is a lot. So sorry to hear that ☹️
     Thing is, while we may think its our fault which it is to an extent... the ease and speed at which it happens is far too easy... it happens before you even realise it.
    The skeptical among us could possibly wonder if this was intentional?
    Or is it just really bad design of the navigation buttons changing position?

    I doubt they will but they "should" do something about it....

    This wont bring your stars back but please know you are not alone ❤️ and even EA staff have had this issue.

  • @Fiky39That's so awful for you! I really think this was a bad idea, putting in the ability to buy bulbs directly in the prize map.

    I would really like them to change it back to only being able to buy them from Rux.
    I suspect they probably changed it because they felt not enough people were going to Rux & taking up the offers, but surely it would be better to have it as it was & instead if you go to buy an item you don't have enough bulbs for, have a screen pop up saying you don't have enough bulbs & reminding players they can buy them Rux if they want to.

    At the very least, I think there needs to be a review & strengthening of the confirmation process.
