Loss of a LS due to pressing back + Refresh
Id in game: 9672
Problem description: I upgraded a hunting rifle from +4 to +5 then i put it back into the upgrade thing to see how much i needed to up my stats to use it at good, aonce i saw what i needed, i went to throne hall to see what they currently were!!
Then i wanted to go back to the upgrade screen, so i pressed back and then it said can do it unless i refresh, i did and then it said that my hunting rifle failed to upgrade and i dont have my LifeStone no more!!
But i never tried to upgrade!! This isnt fair!! All i did was press back???
Well, a window popped up that you can't go back without refreshing the page and sending the request again and you pressed ok. This way you sent a request to upgrade your rifle...

Well, i reloaded the page where it said that my rifle had been upgraded, one step ahead of the upgraded, so it should of loaded a screen saying my firle upgraded from +4 to +5.. I never asked to go to good & fail!!! ??
Thats not very fair!!! Should there be some sort of warning??
Well, the thing you see on the screen isn't the thing you've sent to the server. The game was created in the PHP language so that means every action is done on the server and the rest is sent back in the html language. For example you have a PHP command called echo, it's used to show a text on your screen. But of course when you check the page source code it shows you only the thing sent back from the server in the html code.
When you click refresh this command is sent to the server. The server returns you something like that:
code:
1:
2:
3:
4:
<body>
<h1>Exercise 4.1</h1>
hello!
</body>
The thing you see on your screen is only the result of the command, you never know what exactly did you send to the server. For example, that's what scammers are using to get your bank account, by fooling you with what you see on the screen.

It's clearly written in the rules that any refreshing should be avoided or else situations like this may happen.
