User community:  would you consider a paid version of  DS if it included a Confirmation button every time you were about to spend gold?

TL, would you conisder releasing such a paid version of DS?

I have seen a lot of comments and complaints about the fact that there is no confirmation button when gold is about to be spent. Almost everything else has confirmation or at least requires two steps to complete so you can change your mind. People fat-finger something or accidentally press something -- they had no intention of spending the gold, and yet p00f! it is gone. When they complain to TL or ask for their gold back, they are invariablly met with "Too Bad."

Look, I get why this is so. The app is free, but TL still has bills to pay. There is NO advertising in the game, other than for in-game items or for other TL games. Taking gold is the way TL pays the bills. But, something just feels sneaky about it.

I, for one, have never ever spent a dime buying gold for DS, and I never will until there is a confirmation button, simply because it seems to me that TL does not respect its users or their hard earned cash. Some of these are young teenagers spending their allowance money! That's right, TL, I will not ever ever give you money for a game that treats me like this. I like playing this game, maybe too much, but I will still not give TL money for it in the state it is in.

However, I could see paying for an upgrade to the app that included a confirmation for each and every time gold was about to be spent. Then I would not be afraid of buying some gold for the game. So, it's a win-win for everyone. TL converts someone like me from a freeloader into a paying customer, and users have a much better experience playing the game.
