didn&;t they use to say the same thing about fragging
I think that was changed in order to help re-inflate all the crap that was vending. :x

I don&;t think halving the number of clicks it takes to vend would have too much of an effect on the economy. The price of tokens should stabilize the prices of vended items. When items deflate too much, people stop vending because it is no longer worth the tokens.
Except I would now have twice as many items for the same amount of time spent. Say I vend 500 tokens every day and it takes me an hour (idk how long it would actually take). That would be 250 items received. If you make it so I'm doing half the work, I could vend 1000 tokens during that hour and get 500 items instead. So you're essentially doubling the payout and crossing your fingers and hoping for the best for the economy.

Anything with less clicks I am for. People spend what tokens they have anyway..I thought vending was more about spending tokens on 1 in a million chance at something real nice rather then clicks anyway.

I'd like this - I have arthritis so using a mouse is often very uncomfortable for me. Reducing the amount of clicking involved in vending wouldn't make me vend more because vending depends on how many Wizard Tokens I have to spare.

No support.

There's a place on the machine image where, if you click it, your mouse ends up right over the "go back" link that takes you back to the machine so you don't even have to scroll anywhere. It's the easiest two clicks in the world.

I didn't think of the autoclicker issue, either. For that reason as well I don't think it should be single-click.

I'm for this idea. People need to quit whining. It's not that hard to vend.

That's the point. People need to quit whining, it's not that hard to vend.

Innovation continually makes simple, easy things even easier. Should we stop such work and tinkering in regards to easy tasks because they're already easy, or should we continue to improve and to refine the process? I'm for the latter, but to each his or her own.

But you're still not addressing the point that what you're doing is doubling the payout of the vending machine. If it takes half the time to do the work, you can do twice what you normally would. So you'd be flooding the market with double the amount of items from vending. Gee, they may as well just give you two items when vending instead, because it basically amounts to the same thing.

I am still a hearty and resounding no to this idea.

I'm with on this. My internet connection is slow so vending takes some time. I used to be able to vend at work on my night shifts but because internet explorer was they default browser I couldn't change--it took forever to vend anything.

I agree maybe there should be something off set this advantage or make it more interactive. This could be achieved by limiting the total time you have to vend per day. You could increase your time to vend via a point system. You could earn points for buying csc, participating in conversations on the boards, playing games, posting pictures/art, or other activities to use it as an incentive to be more active on the rest of the site.

How about one click vending in return for the machines taking 3 wizard tokens at a time?

It still comes down to how many tokens people have for vending. If I've got 1K tokens to spare I'll have 500 vends whether there's a vend again button or not. The real difference for me would be less physical pain because there's less clicking. This is the reason why I love the select all option we got for fragging - less physical pain playing the game.

This is still not a legitimate reason because tokens are cheap. I try to keep between 12k - 20k on hand at all times, and it doesn't even cost that much to do so.

In the long run, people would still be vending more and getting more items and flooding the market.

No, I really don't think vending should be changed. It's easy enough as it is. With a GA active, you don't even have to move the mouse at all (and if you have Adblock without one, you barely have to).

And if you have the coding you won't have to move your mouse at all, GA or not. Just place the back button where ever you want. I use the Firefox addon Fox Splitter so all I do is split the vending tab to the left, make the window as small as I can but still able to hit the links, open up youtube on the right, and I can vend like crazy.

The only issue I have with vending is when the darn servers are acting up. Then it wouldn't matter if we had a vend again button or not, vending will be a pain in the ass then.

That point wasn't brought up by InSaNe when he pinged me, so I had no reason to respond to it. It's not doubling the payout of the machine if it's the same cost. And as for them increasing the cost, they increased it years ago to four, met with resounding disapproval and eventually lowered it once more down to two. Furthermore, the time spent clicking is time that is well spent doing other things, such as pet profiles or forums and other such things. If I have 250 wizard tokens, I'm going to spend all of them vending one way or another. If you want less items vended, then lower wizard quest rewards, as that's one of the solutions available. Or limit the number of times users are allowed to vend daily. There are alternate solutions in regards to problems that may arise making the site easier upon users. There is no reason for redundant clicking, other than simply adding fake difficulty, similar to video games adding a time limit to an otherwise easy level. Simply saying no to a proposed idea and not offering another alternative adds nothing to the discussion whatsoever except negativity.
