Feedback: Request to prevent bad purchases

WARNING:  This is kind of a rant but it is also a call for quality of life improvements.

I ran my fleet arena climb last night and then put the phone down.  When I picked it up a half hour later, the game was purchasing some BS Fleet blueprint pack and I was down about 2000 crystals.  Now there is a very small chance one of the kids picked up the phone but I highly doubt it.  I am increasingly seeing this game moving into weird purchase sequences due to incident screen touches, especially whne I have to put the phone down to attend to real life responsibilities.

There are a few cases where some purchases or events are blocked if you are maxed on the shards/blueprints like Proving Grounds and some store purchases.  I really think that the developers need to eliminate all of the pop ups for stuff that I would never purchase like Lando's ship offers and any blueprints or shards for crystals where my account is maxed on all of the characters and ships.  At a minimum, you should be able to hide/dismiss offers that are not relevant to your account progress.

    Sounds like something with your phone. Sometimes there is an issue with lag causing a different thing than you clicked to come up, but it shouldn't go on a "purchase sequence" on its own.

    In a public space, sure.  At home with my burner phone on an alt account, not a big deal.  Unfortunately there are these things called children and they do not run on a fixed schedule and are highly unpredictable.  They spill stuff, break stuff, and generally cause all sorts of chaos including missing payouts, interrupting special missions and GAC/TW battles.  Thanks for the suggestion though...

  • just suggesting but when you put the phone down for half an hour might as well turn your phone off or at least lock the screen

    Yeah.  Not even worth trying to go to support.  I would get better results retiring from the game :)

    I had the same thing happen to me years ago. I accidentally touched a slot in the store which was 800 crystals for a bunch of Chopper shards. I tried to explain what happened to customer support and basically was told all sales are final. A simple thing like a “are you sure” popup message for any purchase would be very helpful.
