FYI: I absolutely hate the new supersized Crown Store ads

    It takes up virtually the whole screen, it's obnoxious and it seems to happen on every log in not just once a day.

    Yeah. But I just think of it as helping pay for the game. More attention = more sales = more money for new and improved content.

    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.

    Can't go from somewhere I never was. Re-read the posts. Please and thank you.

    I 503% agree with OP. Nobody wants to get a billboard shoved in their face every time they log on.

    At the very least make it so we can toggle it off so it wont show up every damn time

    That's my philosophy, and why I am spending almost zero time on PTS right now. I guess I really don't care whether Summerset come out good or not.
