Warning when selling divination cards

OK, this is the second time I've sold divination cards instead of using them. The "Sell Items" entry for Navali is directly above the "Trade Divination Cards" entry, and when distracted it's possible to mess up, getting a few wisdom scroll scraps instead of the item in question.

What I want is a warning, similar to what you get when selling items with socketed gems, when trying to sell divination cards at a vendor. This is never something I actually want to do.

I mean the interface is entirely different when you're trading cards vs vendoring junk... I still remember watching a guy drop over 100 chaos on some random helm and not checking if he actually put it on before dumping it on a vendor.

You don't gotta rush it all the time.

just sold a stack of cards too. luckily it's been the scrolls one. somehow the trade button and get div cards are too close together.

I don't see how that would work for you, if you can't tell the difrence between,

This

Then i seriously doubt any warning would actually be seen or heeded.

i use navali for selling all items cause she makes the least fuss when i click her.

div cards in bestiary are bloody rare, i think i sold 2 sets so far. so when selling div cards the automatism of selling loot kicks in.

the whole concept of being able to mix it up just got introduced lately cause ggg gave in to those lazy reddit bastards who seem to have a card set every 5 minutes for the process to get annoying.

for me, loot tension was much higher when i collected a certain amount of stacks and went to tasuni to exchange them all at once.

It absolutely does not matter how different they look from each other. The problem is familiarity.

Do you know why you can smell other people's body odor much more distinctly than your own? Or why you don't constantly hear your own heartbeat? The brain is very good at filtering out unnecessary stimulation.

Routines like selling items are so frequent and familiar that our brains, doing its thing to be efficient, stop registering unimportant things like what the window looks like.

You have to break the routine to jar the brain awake. That's what a warning box accomplishes.

well there are those who take 5 seconds to open the trade screen. those are likely not affected.
