Honestly I don't really care either way, it takes a lot for me to have a strong negative opinion about something, something I care strongly about at that, if it's not something I care about too much or if it's not negative enough to affect me then I'm indifferent, and cash shop stuff on games has never really bothered me. If something I think is pretty neat is on there and I can afford to spend a few extra bucks on it sure I'll get it, but if not I won't, just cause I don't like it doesn't mean someone else won't, and to hell why should I care what someone else does or doesn't do, does or doesn't buy, or does or doesn't like?

And what, the advertisement for pet day or whatever it was? I wasn't online when it happened, but what was it just one of those little messages that float in the air for a few seconds like when a quest stage progresses or whatnot? Can be a nuisance if I'm reading a book at the moment I suppose, gotta wait a couple seconds before I continue reading, but I take it they only did it once or a couple times during the day aye? I'd be more concerned about the messages that pop up every dang time someone in Cyrodiil drops or picks up an Elder Scroll, or puts it in in a fortress or whatever it is, that happens dozens of times a play session some days.

Actually, is there a way to turn off those Cyrodiil Elder Scroll updates? Aside from abandoning a campaign of course.

Anyway I'd say it's overreacting to complain about some little message popping up for a couple seconds a couple of times on a single day when that happens countless of times with quests and Elder Scroll Cyrodiil updates but hey, maybe people like complaining about stuff like that, maybe it's a good stress reliever or something, takes your mind off of more important things going on in your life? Kills some time? Eh, whatever the reason, to each their own.

Do you guys realize that April 11th is really National Pet Day? Like, it's a real day inside the US. Like Mother's Day.

And did you know that Mother's Day was created to sell junk?

If you don't like capitalism, cast your vote against it in the elections that happen IRL.

If you're coming to the Official Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited° forums to complain about consumerism, you're doing it wrong.

The advertisement is okay at the moment, in my opinion.

It's just a question of "HOW" and "WHERE". If the advertisements are small or in form of a letter, it's absolutely okay.

it was advertisement about PET DAY, not a CROWN STORE!

Exactly.

It's not like they're spamming anyway. From what I recall, it only showed up in the chat window also, meaning you could just turn off system messages in your chat window settings.

But I'm perfectly fine with them announcing items in the crown store when those items are tied into notable days/events/holidays.

I'm not even going to vote on this. I don't like advertising in the game, but I'm also not going to be surprised or upset that they do it. Seems like a pretty trivial matter to get worked up about to me.

As long as they stay on the log in page I am fine with it. In fact, I also dont mind if they post the eventual "deal of the day" on the log in page as well.

I cant believe people get so upset over a simple message on the LOG IN PAGE. Cant you find other things to waste your time and anger on? You people realize that is zos doesnt make money the game isn't going anywhere right?

Except it was not on log in screen it was flashed multiple times across your game screen like the game was going down, or a new emperor was crowned, scroll changed hands, etc

and it was not a deal of the day, or even a deal at all. Same prices, same junk


Low standards by *some* players is why the game keeps getting worse and worse. That is a nice as I can say it without it getting mod'ed.

I dont give a damn about the store. But ads to make players pay for my game is always good.
Put the ads up!

I thought they were not going to be intrusive with the crown store?

You clearly do not understand what "intrusive" means. Posting an advert on a loading screen is not. Posting a pop-up during combat is.

This is a quite good idea. I pay sub cause I simply dont want to pay more and get the hassle of not having whats available.
Doesnt hurt if I dont see ads :-p

if you have them at the launcher will be ok but as long as you DO NOT have them popping up during the game that would not be good could you imagine being in a boss fight and you die because you have to delete a message

delete double post
