Inspiration Yes/No Pop-Up?

I don't know about whether or not anybody has, ever, accidentally, deleted, an Inspiration before, that they had wanted to keep, but, I did, and, I wish, now, that there had been an Inspiration Deletion Yes/No Pop-Up, that would have kept me from making that blunder! I was just wondering, if, such a thing is even worthwhile, and, if it is, can one be added to the game? Thanks in advance, for at least listening to my suggestion.

I don't see it as necessary, personally. Aside from a few "special" types, most of them are so common and replaced so fast that it doesn't really matter. If they did have such a prompt, it would probably lead to them putting in a "Do you really want to use this?" prompt, which would be a very bad idea, indeed.

The first thing most people will do when one of those annoying windows pops up is disable it so it doesn't bother them ever again.

Accidentally deleting a single inspiration is such a trivially tiny setback, and getting unwanted Awakens so common, that I find it difficult to believe much of anyone would even want to use such a prompt.

The enhancement, salvage, and recipe prompts are annoying enough. And those are things that have far more potential to cause bother upon deletion than mere inspirations.

I have no idea how you can accidentally delete an inspiration.

First, you have to move your mouse pointer overtop of a certain inspiration. Then you have to right-click your mouse. Then you have to left-click on the menu that opens up. That's three times you can check yourself and say, "Oh, hello Luck! This isn't the Awaken I wanted to delete! Let me move my mouse over there, to the Awaken, and....there we go! Glad I saved that Luck!"

Now, misusing inspirations, I can see. Much easier since it's one mouse click or one button push, which can easily go awry. However, I would not agree to a confirmation popup upon inspiration use, that's just stupid. Inspirations drop so frequently, you should almost never be without the buff of one if you're pushing yourself. Too often people die with full inspiration trays. :/

Deleting? Not so much with the "easy to screw up".

I suspect that it involves intending to do something else on said menu with the inspiration in question. Like intending to give or combine the inspiration and due to blurry eyes, twitchy finger, or the mouse cursor doing a quirky little jump, the wrong menu option is selected and the inspiration is deleted.

Or, after having opened the menu but before clicking on anything, you feel the need to move to the right and press the D key... Oops, that was the menu's hotkey for "delete".

Generally speaking, I agree with the people here who basically said, "c'mon... it's a friggin' inspiration."

However, I could see some use in a pop-up of this sort -- and this part would have to be included for me to support it -- that only came up if you tried to delete a dual, team or super inspiration. Those things cost money/merits. Regular old dropped insps? Not worth worrying about.

EDIT: Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind seeing a few "context-senstitive" pop-up options. Just for example, an "are you sure?" prompt for deleting salvage... but only Rare salvage.


FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
