I know this is trivial, but with each update they drop, the "resupply using in-game currency if unavailable" is re-enabled without fail. This steals gold that I paid for and that I did not agree to be used. This needs to be sorted because I bet it breaches more than a few laws on online purchases (or no and I'm a dumbass haha)

use the "stingy by default" mod.

I would if it were not for the simple laziness of WG dev team making me complain about it lol

Exactly where? Flag signals, camos, both?

I checked, but it doesn't seem to get ticked for me with updates. My settings remained the same. I'm not sure if I'm 'stingy by default'...

I don't believe this has happened to me (at least not in recent memory); that said, I'm running 100% vanilla - not a mod in sight.

 

What does happen to me though is that when I remove all signals from a ship (to play Coop, say), and then replace them for a 'proper' mode, the 'resupply using in-game currency' option is re-enabled by default if any of the signals have that option, assuming I also select the 'resupply automatically' option. The same is true for cammo as well, if something that costs gold is selected...

Sounds more like you didn't bother uncjecking when buying a new ship, and ofc putting the blame on WG. Or maybe playing with mods like a little girl

It was on my Belfast. If i haven't noticed it since 2016 I may have dementia haha

For all their faults, and there are so many, this has never happened to me in any update for 3 years.

Have lost some gold to this happening to me aswell, in the start there was no option to deselect using gold.

 

Have complained and reported it many many times with "customer support" that WG provides, never ever have gotten any refund, not for free xp mishap, flags or whatever i missclicked when my game went broke in port.

 

Always they blamed it on mod usage so now i indeed use modstation and their "no gold for anything" i.a.w. "stingy by default" option as mention before.

 

That is also the reason i will never ever pay WG for any service ever again, great game and potential they just fail to provide humain support and information.

 

Must be a (Bela)Russian thing right??

Its bad game design to make people pay for stuff( I.A.W stealing) by default in a free to play game right??

If that would happen in a real store or online shop??

 

For example, you pick a shirt in a store, buy it and then when you look @ the receipt you also payed for something else you did not want.. 

And then the store wouldn't give you a refund since they accuse you of removing the tags which you haven't but they still refuse

Not that i'm name calling here, so you how would you mind being called a "pansy" for playing vanilla then??

 

Some people find that the game does not provide enough information by itself, and since WG provides a easy and simple "install, click what you want and need in game" modpack i.a.w. Modstation.

Its really simple choice, not like WG doesn;t mess up this game without ever having mods in them :cap_horn::Smile_trollface:

 

And by comparison some people don't even use, look at or enlarge the minimap so there is that too hahaha

I'm not sure if Wedgie is stealing gold, however, I suspect Wedgie is 'stealing' money (in a manner of speaking) :Smile_teethhappy:.

This setting gets reset with a regrind unfortunately. You have to disable the "feature" with every goddamn ship you buy.
