A confirmation box for that would be so incredibly annoying when you actually want to skip things . Especially when you start solely going for certain tasks. Accidentally skipping a task you might wanted to do is significantly less annoying than being forced to confirm this every. single. time.
You are not supposed to skip tasks. You are supposed to do the tasks you get. The default setup should never be to cancel whatever the game just offered you. That is simply bad game design.

If you want to constantly skip what the game offers you, that is your problem, and you must deal with whatever confirmation boxes it takes to prevent others from skipping them by mistake.

You're also not too advanced in slayer? This statement oozes that. OPs suggestion is born from a one-timed mistake (which lead to this thread) and the lack of progress with that skill (which is why he hasn't initially seen the issue it would bring with), your statement is blatant ignorance. If you managed to get to 120 like this - fine.

Why does this functionality exist in the first place then, even for way, way, way longer than it didn't - if it wasn't intended it must have been removed meanwhile, right? It is literally the only thing you reasonably can spend those points on after getting those few unlocks we have. Way before you're on max level. And even much longer before you're 'done' with slayer. And we don't even need multipliers for 100/250/1000 tasks like they have in OS. So give use something to spend those points on.

Can also ask you - why should the remainder of the community suffer, solely because of your crude understanding how this skill is 'supposed to work' - basically how it was for the first 3 years (and even the other game moved away from that), the way was for 15 years afterwards and ongoing. They surely would have seen something wrong if it was. Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

skipping tasks is apart of the game design, thats why we have slayer points to skip them if you save up to skip, thats called planning ahead.

skipping is definitely apart of the slayer skill, by design



so no you are not suppose to do the task you are set, if you want you can skip thats why it is there. thats why people save slayer points, to take advantage of that

While I do agree it was something I shouldn't do, not click to the next thing when I do want the task. I still believe a toggle, if they aren't going to change the placement of canceling the task as the exact next spot in the menu after clicking; essentially the continue button to look at what other options are there. If canceling the task was the only option I would completely agree, and for the most part I do agree it's something I shouldn't do. So I don't believe it would hurt to have a one time option to say yes, I'm sure I don't want this task, don't ask me if I'm sure again, like they do for at least a few other choices you can make.

Or better yet, change the placement so you actually have to purpose yourself to click where the cancel task button is. If it is an option lower or higher on the list of options, what is that going to inconvenience you. If it were anywhere, but the exact placement of where the continue button is on the next list of options, I'd say there was absolutely no need for asking to verify, but since it is, I believe a slight change in placement wouldn't be enough of an inconvenience to not merit doing.

So the problem I'm seeing here is, you are agreeing to disagree with me about the fact that there shouldn't be a verification, while ignoring that a slight change in placement wouldn't be too much of an inconvenience to not do. I'm saying either A) There should be a verification, or B) There should be a change in placement so they know if you click it, you meant to. A one time toggle for people who like it as it is to say not to ask again would be good enough of a solution. If you agree a one time toggle would solve the problem, I don't see what you are arguing about.

To me there should be 3 options

1) Always ask me if I am sure I want to cancel the task
2) Ask me if I am sure only when I cancel a task that is preferred
3) Don't ask me if I'm sure again

And that would solve the problem

I like the idea of the confirmation toggle the best, and think that moving where the link is as a secondary solution would be good - due to all the complaints I foresee, I don't think an 'always on' confirmation is the way to go... Things may be looking down now, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel;
Do you think I should get off the tracks?
