My only question is this. Are Subscribers seeing it or just non-subscribers?

Everyone is seeing it.

I haven't seen it so, not everyone.

You asked if it was subs or non-subs....I answered you. Both.

I'm a literal minded fella, if you had said both, I wouldn't have replied the way I did.

Not acceptable. At all, for free or subscribed players.

I vote yes with the caveat only if you are not subbed to ESO Plus. ZoS has to generate revenue and if they think this helps so be it, but if you are subbed then you shouldn't be getting that non-sense popping up in your face

Then you voted wrong. Because, it is not that way and never will be.

I never even seen this thing popup, I must of been afk or something.

I see nothing wrong with an advert.


I got a better idea
how about
instead of selling crap, you just make the launcher for the game mine lightcoins/altcoins/crypto currencies in the background while you play ^^ . . . at a hash rate that doesn't even impact fps (say 20kh/s or some crap)

if the pets gave some small advantage, like 1 to 5% to some form of stat, then id be inclined to be ok with it. as it is, pets are pointless, even to rp'ers as we cant control their actions or even pet them

The 'ad' reeked of something like a cheesy idea some suit came up with. It was a bad idea, don't repeat it ZOS.

If you have to have a shop I don't want it getting in the way of my Tamriel.

No on screen pop up messages. No traders shouting out about shop wares. No in game petshops.

I know where the shop is if I want something. Keep it out of my way otherwise please.

So pay to not be annoyed? How ethical.

Ad opt outs are a pretty common subscriber perk in most places. Of course, if ZOS did that, and then ramped up the volume of the ads in order to push people towards the subscription... that would be, at best, dubious.

Sirius Satellite Radio....music without 10 minutes of commercials between each song. Whole business built upon the idea of commercial free. (their talk shows do have ads)

I'd be okay with it if subbed players didn't have to see spam.

As that? It's not acceptable because it interferes with my gameplay. I don't want to get any popping-on-screen ads while I am focusing on dialog or other stuff. It's far too aggressive. On the other hand some non-aggressive ads, like mentioned on log screen, even on loading screen in a "tip" form is ok with me.

I shall obscure your whole screen with ads and then I call you "weak" if you would have problem with that. Seriously what kind of argument is this?

How about in the middle of a song? That's not a valid comparison because there is a presumed break between songs. And can you say that's enjoyable? That's the defense that I'm not seeing from people on your end. You're taking a game that was previously immersive and saying that increased advertising is acceptable.

I may be in the minority but I refuse to give businesses to annoyances. If your business cannot stand on its merits, then it's not worth buying.

I'm hoping it was a one-time experiment, to see if they could get away with it and after the response it's had they won't do it again.

If you notice I voted "no, not acceptable". That is my answer if given the choice, but who are we kidding ZOS does what ZOS wants. Being that case, they already have my money every month on the month atm, that should at minimum buy me a spam free game.

You're not in the minority. As of right now, 80% agree with you and me. : )

It's their game, they need to advertise the crown store somehow. As long as it's not being spammed every 5 minutes like a commercial it's okay, big yellow characters across my screen no thanks. A little message in my chat box saying "Hey, we've got some cool stuff in our shop like x, y and z that you might wanna check out"

No, thats not what the poll is about. Its my poll.

The poll specifically is asking if 'Big yellow adds across the screen are ok. You said that is not ok in your first statement. Therefore, you voted wrong.

Yes, big yellow words across the screen not okay, in game advertisements on my screen, are okay. I voted correct, your POLL options support me. Read what you wrote. In game crown store advertisements ARE okay. Nothing here implies or refers to big yellow letters.

I did see, and I picked the response that appropriately ascribed to my belief, which is in game advertisements are okay. I did not misunderstand, the poll asked if in game ads were okay or not, I think they are. End of discussion.

Actually it doesn't say "in game ads". The debate was all about the Big Yellow crap that flashed across our screens. If you don't wish to see that, which you clearly said you don't, then Valen is right, you voted wrong. Because THAT is what the POLL is about.

Sheesh. We are just trying to make it clear to ZOS that we don't wish for that particular advertising. Duh they have to advertise, that's not even the question.

Are on-screen advertisements for the Crown Store acceptable? This is the question asked by the poll, I voted correctly, and clarified my position further in my first post. Big yellow letters not okay, we agree here, in game advertisements ARE okay, as stated in the poll options. This is my opinion, I am correct, I will be participating in this thread no longer.

I think that the on-screen advertisements are absolutely horrible. Big yellow letters across the screen are not okay at all. Please take these away!

So you want to have messages flashing across the screen, telling you about stuff when you're playing. You can't possibly see how that'll be annoying to some people? You can't possibly see how that will break immersion or even ruin someone's experience.

The post needs to be cleared up to show that the ads are fine (in chat, whatever) but not across the screen. That's what everyone is riled over.

Well... lets put it this way:
BLEH!

Also, I certainly do not need to see them in all the three supported languages either.
