'Give' button

Hi, everybody.
Some people's names are so difficult to type. You can shorten them but usually when you give someting to a person you have to type the item name too.
My brother (bless him) while looking over my shoulder thought that there should be a 'give' button. Next to the equip buttons would be proper if they were put in. They would work like this. You would click the button. Then you would click an item. This would trigger a message verifying the item that you clicked. e.g.
Give boots of time to:
Then you would click on the player, then the message would complete itself. And maybe in the 'look around' box area there would be a 'yes' or 'no' button, to make sure that there were no mistakes.
While we are on the subject, it might be nice to add an 'invite button', working in much the same way, it would invite people by clicking.
Also, the macros now have this '/s playername' command. I thought that if you could make another one, but only a button that you can 'click' on a player with, this might be useful.
Anyway, thank you for listening to me. Have a nice day!

hmm /give person item works just fine if you ask me 
more of a hassle to click everything (and i don't know any items that you have to spell out completely)

i think there would be problems with people not 'meaning' to give a specific item to a person, like if someone enters the square at the same time you're giving the person the item and you end up giving it to the other person instead.
ever accidently attacked someone because of lag? it would be the same situation.
i vote no.

I agree with Jen, It'd be nice if there was a way for me to give my crits either mana or pots though...but it isnt hard to type out once then press up then copy it and do it for other crits...maybe if we renamed advanded mana and advanced healing to where they had something diff. like
Advanced Healing Potion
Large Mana Crystal
then the basic ones could be
Weak Healing Potion
Small Mana Crystal
the intermediate could stay the same since there is already a difference...it is just an idea...i suppose most people are used to having it be advanced..

I agree with Zephie as well. The few occasions that I give someone else an item I can type it out. If I give items or gold to my own crits, the main ones are set on macros (/give Lady_Maha advanced mana crystal, /give Lady_Maha gold). Inviting several crits is easy with /invite all or the new /invite clan, and in my opinion faster than clicking on each individual pic.

must I remind everyone about the time someone withdrew ALL their gold, using the 'withdraw all' button, and lost what was it again? 3 million gold?
This just seems really silly for such a simple task like giving someone an item. Is it really that difficult to type /give name item ?
I still vote no 
ps: rich, don't ever spank me again, that's frog territory only.

I personally dont see anything wrong with /give xxx item. It's far more simple. Requires less actions, and alsong as you type the full correct name, there is no room for error.
I vote no, due to the fact there is no need for this to be added.

I vote no as well, theres nothing saying you have to type out the full persons name, if you did I would of said something earlier, what with two of my crits having fairly long names, this button is not needed.

Correct me if im wrong, but the gold was given back to him wasnt it?
I do think that taking withdraw all out was good, and dont see any reason to add this button "give" sounds like it'd take longer to use the give button than just typing and stuff anyway...

F1: /give xxx item
cant they just type it once and leave it there if they will be using it over and over?

Pointless to compare this idea to Will's stupidity. There wasn't a 'yes' or 'no' option, so there is no chance that this would happen with this idea.

I simply don't see the advantage of this. With the yes and no button and all the clicking you have to do will take you longer than typing it all out or setting macros for items you give to a specific crit on a regular basis.
For comparison:
click on give button
click on advanced mana crystal
click on Lady_Maha
click on yes
repeat above steps for Sleepy
repeat above steps for Ladys_Mage
or
F12
F11
F10

Maybe after the yes button a 'repeat button'
I thank you all for your opinions, you are all very influential (I am not being sarcastic...)
