Shameful

Join the club I have lost a few donuts fast tapping. What I don't understand is EA implemented a "confirm" button to store items in your inventory but not when spending donuts or speeding up processes.

To make you lose your donuts so you might want to buy more I guess.

Why is that surprising? They want this to happen so you buy more.

I had 16 left with nothing to use them and now I have 1 left because of misclicks and server crashes.

Dial down the excitement and slow down.

Or you can simply tap the building once and simply let the game collect the money & xp for you. That way there's no "accidental" clicking of speeding things up.

That's how I do it and I have never had any accidental waste of donuts. I simply click the buildings and characters once & keep doing it while the game is collecting the money & xp for me. It's a win/win

From a business stand point I understand the no confirm button on donut spending. However I know EA is not hurting money wise.

Yeah but the xp and $ spray on top of other buildings that people need to collect. The whole idea is to screw things up and cause misclicks. There is no good reason to have $ and Xp sit on the screen. It's a ploy.

No it's bad business. If they made it harder to waste them maybe more would buy them. They are virtual. They charge less for them too they would sell more. No wonder EA is garbage. Not quite zynga garbage yet.

SO wait until the money & xp from those buildings auto-collect before clicking the next one. It's really not gonna kill you to have a bit of patience.

There is no room for patience in a game as fast-paced as this.

I've said this before, and I'm sure I'll say it again, but no one seems to take the advice...

Click on a building and take note of where that donut button is. Notice how its in the exact same place on the screen every time, for every building? It's in the middle of the right side of the screen. Avoid clicking in that spot. If you follow this rule while you're tapping ferociously, it won't matter what you accidentally click on. I collect all of the individual $ and xp (I like the sound) and I do it fast and carelessly. I just keep repositioning the screen so that the building, money, and xp are all on the left side of the screen, far enough away from the donut button. I haven't wasted any donuts since I started doing this!

I wasn't even collecting from a building I clicked them as a joke and then I didn't click cancel in time

I wasn't collecting from the building though I've never done this while tapping buildings I hit speed up as a joke and didn't hit cancel in time

Uh... Okay... Then you just answered the question you used as your thread title. Ie, it keeps happening because you're making it happen.
