The point is, user errors happen, and it shouldn't be like "oh well, you're screwed" when simple fail safes can be put in place. You act like you never make mistakes -- no one is perfect. Have a little empathy, just because YOU haven't made the mistake YET doesn't mean you can't or that others won't. You shouldn't have to personally suffer to sympathize with another person and put yourself in their shoes to imagine how much it must suck. Unless you really are an entirely self-centered and uncaring person.

All I have said is this: the OP's tone of "vendors are stealing my money," as if the vendor literally stole money from the OP's wallet, is completely unwarranted. As is blaming this sort of problem on BW. Fail-safes would indeed be nice, as always, but one cannot hold BW or the vendor responsible for everything. And fwiw, items purchased with commendations should be able to be returned for commendations. Giving cash for such items is indeed problematic. Please leave the personal conjectures aside and respond to what I'm saying, rather than what you're reading into my words.

Another thing I did not mention in the first post and this is to do with the badge part is if you buy items you cannot even use your still in the same boat. I bought a double ended light saber after farming all day for badges only to realize it said light side rank 1 down the bottom instead of dark side rank 1. So I could not use this item at all and had to sell it back for cash instead of getting my badges back. Again you could say user error but why am I able to buy items I cannot even use? But this goes back to buying expensive items also with one click. I know now what I did wrong but to have no lean way on the matter is kinda harsh. They were not rediculous price. He had enough credits to buy 3 of them. Do we get confirmation when something is 100 credits and you only have. 300?

The more I play this game, the more I see oversights in modern MMO game design that were solved by other MMOs a long time ago. It sort of feels like playing UO when it launched. There were so many design flaws with that game when it launched that were simply the result of it never occurring to the Devs to do so and so with their basic design decisions. I like the good story and the character models/art of this game but the Devs lack of realizing they forgot some basics is worrisome.

I do not understand what you mean but i know that the mounts were worth $8,000 each i know because I only got back 800 per one i sold back. There are also mounts worth $200,000 if I bought one of those even though I can't use it I'd be spewing pretty hard. I lost about 30k

Lol! I was lucky and bought only one the "hard way".

I lost about 30k At your level 8000 was not a rediculous price is what I am saying. For a level 5 with 300 credits, 150 for a stim is just as rediculous as 8000 is for a level 25 spending 8000 when they have 25,000.

This has happened to me too couple of times. I know it was my own fault (clicked ctrl + right mouse instead of left), but still its not nice to lose 25k when you are almost of money and your skills at that level cost around 25-30k each. It would be nice if we could sell those items back for same price we bought them as long as we dont leave vendor window like in dragon age origins though that system was bugged other and much easier and safer option could be some confirmation window before you buy item.
