Imagine that warning wasn't there and you appear before that vendor but really are not in any mood to buy branded masses. But you buy them anyway. Just to get it over with. And afterwards you continue with your mundane existence.

Later that day you suddenly feel a powerful urge to buy branded masses. You travel to Dragonfall, sprint to that vendor (your need is so strong that you forgot you got a mount), with shaking hands you open the vendor's tab and...they are gone. You already bought them.

As you break down sobbing in front of your computer, you'll wish ANET would have provided you with a warning that this might happen and not sent you down that dark road, where you'll end up selling fake hamsters with missing limbs on the street in order to finance your drug habit which you acquired because of that one time you bought your branded masses too early.
