Why did you switch buttons in the reward share popup?

I don't understand why D3 switched the accept and cancel buttons around when you get the popup to share your rewards. It used to be the right button was to accept and share... Now the right button is accept and NOT share. I've grown accustomed to hitting the right button that i have hit the wrong button twice now. Kind of stupid of them to switch them around for no good reason.

    Actually, on my android, I'd never seen an "accept and don't share" button at all before. I always had to cancel out of the person-picking section and hope that I didn't accidentally hit the wrong button to spam all my old high school friends with stuff from a match-3 game.
  • Dang it!
    I just clicked the wrong button too!

    (But seriously why spend time re-designing this? Mysterious)
  • Just click the big yellow button. How hard is that?

    I don't know if this is selective memory, but I seem to always associate your name with posts like this.

    How hard is it, you ask? Exceptionally, really, if you're not making a conscious decision to select "share" at each reward screen (and most aren't). It's a conditioning thing, especially for players who are conditioned to play quickly and complete games as fast as possible (read: top end shield-hoppers) and get into the next game even more quickly. You're conditioned for
    Best Match
    Best Match
    Skill
    Tap left, tap left, tap left
    Skip Skip Skip
    Double Click
    Fight
    Repeat

    Conditioning is very hard to break. So yes,it is in fact very hard to "just click the yellow button".

    Yeah it's really stupid of them that you hit the wrong button.

    Some people have left the game and get annoyed that they keep getting ISO sent to them. Players now have a choice to just go forward instead if pulling up the screen of a list of friends and removing players who no longer play. It is actually really nice when shield hopping because you can start a match faster than when you have to share.

    On iOS it was always possible to skip.

    I'm not saying skip is a bad idea, just keep the accept button on the right where it used to be.
