Torchlight Review: Diablo-esque Dungeon Crawler, Single Player Role Player

I started this page because one aspect of the game, however kool the feature may be, to me, it shows a bit of "bad form design", in my opinon. Picture this, I'm in the dungeon, fighting off monsters, my pet is fighting at my side and I've run out of room, I know I can pause the game to pass items between my pack and my pet's pack, so I hit I to open my inventory and then I move the mouse to open my pet's pack, which has a lot of stuff I want to keep, gems, etc. Well, wouldn't you know it, I accid. clicked the button and sent my pet to sell the shit in his pack.

WAIT!! I didn't mean to click that button! STOP!

There's no stopping it, loaded with shit I've collected on this current dungeon adventure, not to mention some gems I'd been trasmuting into more powerful gems, my pet is on the way to town to sell the shit I don't want him to sell. There should at least be an option to toggle a YES-NO-ARE YOU SURE?? for this feature. I hit ALT-F4 and closed the game, hoping it would reset to back where I was before all this went on, but I loaded the game today and my pet is not around, he's on his way to town to sell the shit for a fraction of the value, to the vendors. The stuff I WANTED TO KEEP but lose because I accid. clicked one half an inch off my intended target. Bad form design, if you ask me. Perhaps they overlooked it, perhaps I can mod the game and change it myself. Should I spend some time and write to the company about this? I know, if I post in forums, some snot-nosed, brat kids will be replying with such things as, you're uncoordinated if you clicked the by mistake, bla bla bla. Funny how those kids bring nothing to the table but their rude remarks and their intentions are clear, they're looking for attention as most people are, but rather than being creative and risking appearing vulnerable, they've got to talk smack. Enough of that, I'll post here if it changes or I happen to get motivated and discover if it is something I can modify.
Torchlight is a single-player, role-playing, dungeon crawler. Personally, I like this type of game, esp. when I don't feel like watching tv and it isn't the nicest weather outside. It is the type of game you can play a few hours a week and slowly, progressively, build up your character.
