Yeah...no. That all-purpose excuse gets old and would excuse any and all things they decide to do - which by their own track record means taking things that should be in the game and redirecting them to the cash shop as well as never improving legacy annoyances but just selling cash shop relief instead. I've never seen any evidence that more profit = new and improved content in any MMO.
It's particularly annoying to those of us who have been here since 2014 and have always subbed.
I've been here since beta and have always subbed, and I am not annoyed. I like to see what's there. Those advertisements tell me what's there. Otherwise, I wouldn't pay a regular visit to the crown store and may miss out on limited-time sales/offerings.
Took you a while to create your forum account... Dec 2017?
And yes I suppose there are people who would starve to death if grocery stores didn't advertise, but I shop for groceries when I need to - ad or no ad... /shrug. I also know where the Crown Shop is and I don't need extra help to get there.
Also, the ads are for the limited-time sales, not to remind you to go to the crown store in general. So your analogy fairs, unfortunately.
If it bothers you that much, don't play. ZOS will make more than enough money from others.

So you're going from "devs need to eat" to "ESO love it of leave it!"... can't wait to see your next cliche passing for reason.
