Suggestion: "Are you sure?" confirmation before consuming a motif

ZOS has programmed in "Are you sure?" confirmations for almost every act in the game. There are even confirmation dialogues for acts that have zero consequences (Are you sure you want to teleport there?). However, there is NO confirmation before consuming what are some of the most valuable and difficult to achieve items in the game: motifs.
I'm usually very, very careful when interacting with motifs but, of course, the one motif I accidentally clicked while trying to open an item next to it was the one motif I've been farming for weeks. Now it's used on the wrong character.

I did that once before. Fortunately, I am on PC and have Advanced Filters installed. I only open containers with the container filter so that the contents of the container do not appear in the inventory screen while I am opening 20 containers.6 -

✭Yeah, I've personally avoided leveling crafting on alts for the sole purpose of avoid consuming high-value motifs. Since they usually need Rank 9 or 10 crafting to be consumed, only my crafter can use them.

✭✭Not a bad idea. Especially now with the stupid Banker Assistant bug where the banker walks away not closing the transaction window and you accidentally use the motif instead of making the deposit.2 -

That is a good idea!

I agree. I've wasted designs before by misclicking. Thankfully not any motifs so far.1 -

✭✭✭ONLY if ZOS puts "diable annoyiung spamming notification I don't need" into game settings. I am tired of 80 billion notifications every day that cannot be disabled in gamepad/controller UI, because No, Thank You doesn't affect gamepad UI.1 -

✭I'm usually the first to stand up and scream "NO MORE CONFIRMATIONS", but with this one, I can stand behind it.
I can't count the number of times I came "this close" for doing the exact same thing. A confirmation would ensure it doesn't happen.
THANK GOODNESS there's a confirmation on equipment binding. Oh, how this saved me from a nearly accidental binding on my Jack having no more Dreugh Wax left.1 -

✭✭✭or use the lock function just like on equippable items. A locked motif won't be sold, junked, dropped, used, etc.
The problem might be that the motif was in the a container. When the container was consumed, the motif came out and rearranged inventory contents, leading the motif to appear as the current item.
For those who can't leverage Advanced Filters or other addons due to being on console, I recommend opening containers from the middle of the inventory list, assuming inventory is sorted by name. That would give you a buffer before using anything else.0 -
Pink_Violinz✭✭✭✭✭If there was a way to turn it off, sure. I've never personally experienced that problem but I'm sure quite a few have.
I just really don't need more confirmations and notifications every time I want to do the simplest thing. The multiple notifications whenever you learn a motif is enough, I really don't need more messages.0 -

It (again) is because of banker bug.

I'm not sure which bug you're referring to. I don't have a banker and I'm talking about just learning stuff in general. I'm talking about whenever you learn a belt and instantly the game is pestering you with "Look at this belt you just learned!!!!!! You have it in 3 different weights and looks identical to the last belt!!!"
Why I need to be told that every time is beyond me. This feature should be included, but needs a way to be toggled off.0 -

✭✭Yes please. Confirmation popups are annoying but I've accidentally consumed a motif on alt a couple of times. I seem to do it every anniversary event. It's become an anniversary of it's own in a way....1 -
Jayman1000✭✭✭✭✭
✭I agree. And then just make it an togglable option for the peeps that think confirmation dialogues are annoying. It's not that hard to make some decent basic functional design, really. But for some reason these things are always lacking. Why is that? We may never know. Deep in the belly of the mighty ZOS lies the Holy Grail of Truth, but none have ever reached it.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I hate the "are you sure?" messages. I don't want one of those every time I put a blue-level ring on my level 30 character. LOL!
But yeah, for motifs it might be ok.0 -
Hanokihs✭✭✭✭✭Same thing happened to me, but fortunately, it was one of the motif pages I didn't care much about.
I, too, usually hate the 1s/2s cooldown effect interrupting me when I'm trying to do something. But I guess I'd appreciate it a lot more if it kept me from making an actual mistake, so... What harm could one more do?Or two. A cooldown prompt when you're at a set crafting station but about to accidentally make regular gear with no set bonuses would be equally nice, but this isn't about that."I haven't really played much yet, but lemme tell you all about how the game should include X and be a lot more like Y!" - Half the posters on this forum."I've been here for years, and lemme tell you all about how they should never change or evolve Z, because then the game would be ruined forever." - The other half of posters on this forum.0 -

✭✭✭Wonderful idea! Sadly, it´s too late for me. I learned accidentally the buoyant armiger belts motif I was trying to sell...0 -
toxicpanda✭✭You should try putting in a ticket and telling them you accidentally used it on the wrong character. Maybe they can take it away from that character and give you the page back. They usually are helpful with that kind of stuff in my experience !0

Darlon✭✭✭✭✭Great idea.... Please also add a confirmation dialog after that: "Are you really, really sure ?"0
