Does this game need a Confirm Spending button?

I'm sick of missing this option. How about you? Every major phone game I've played had a confirmation button when spending a monetized resource. Here's my idea.
Create a popup which asks for confirmation before spending a specific resource. Each resource can have it's own confirmation popup (gold, trade goods, items etc). Have a slider button for On and Off in the game options for each of these confirmation popups. Here's how that would play out.
-An end game player with tons of gold who buys packages as quickly as spending the gold probably won't care to keep the gold confirmation spending button toggled on. That player doesn't have to and so there is no inconvenience.
-A mid game player with minimal spending who saves gold can keep the confirmation gold spending button on. But they can keep the confirmation spending button for trade goods toggled off. That player is now in a much stronger guild and gets lots of trade goods to spend and does lots of daily buying with that. Now that player is very happy.
-A new player doesn't accidently spend gold, accidentally sell items etc. NOW NG KEEPS THAT NEW PLAYER instead of them getting pissed off and leaving!!!
-Any long term player at any level who hoards items to sell for double xp time can keep the Sell Item confirmation button toggled On, until it comes time to sell hundreds or even thousands of items, and then toggle it the button Off when it comes time to get down and busy liquidating their entire department store worth of items. That player is super happy.
Biggest benefit is this.
-Support team no longer gets dozens (or hundreds, or more?) of tickets daily about accidental spending. Save them TIME! Save the players the headache. Make this game better!
Literally everyone wins if this is implemented correctly. And that the community hasn't successfully advocated for this and the developers haven't implemented this in over 5 years is astonishing to me.
5 out of my 6 tickets have had to do with accidental spending.

We have been aware of this since the early weeks of this update and agreed that it does need a confirmation, but it requires an update so we will be adding the confirmation popup in the Black Market in the next update
Unfortunately, we're going to need confirmation popups for more than just black market. Take crafting for example.
The Reroll feature (2nd version) has been implemented in such a way as to truly help players. I am VERY excited about rerolling 2 max health badges to fit a 3rd and create a max health Eugene. This is how I catch up to the players at the top. I need tools like this in my tool box. However, the execution of the reroll feature (no warning button, location of reroll button encourages accidental misuse when crafting and experiencing lag or excessively tapping) takes away carefully saved reroll tokens. This is amazingly frustrating and is solved completely when implementing a Confirm Reroll button.
I know what I'm talking about when it comes to crafting from a community stand point. You might say I have my finger on the pulse. Because of my endless willingness to help other players, they named the Crafting Badges chat after me in my guild family.
That is the actual most recent message I haven't yet read when I went to take the screenshot for this.
This what players want. Players want a system that is more user friendly. That begins by saving both us and support from misclicks.
1. "Are you sure you want to purchase it?"
2. "You already spent so much! Are you Really sure?"
3. "Receipt has been emailed to your wife"
