Please disable ads for stuff I already own. I'm standing in Summerset, why do I need to see a full page ad trying to get me to buy Summerset? Really? Is your programming that unintuitive that you can't tell what stuff I've already bought?

This has always amused me. You are willing to annoy me, but not willing figure out how to make a splash screen that might actually get me to buy something.

AGREE

Wtb Addblock for ESO.

Totally agree.

Once a day on one character is plenty.

Advertising spam like this is more likely to put me off from buying, rather than encouraging it.

I do writs on 11 characters and seeing this 11 times in a row is really obnoxious.

I would be fine with it if it was once per day, but in its current state it's doing more harm than good.

I appreciated the old way when, the first time you logged in for the day, the crown store pop up came up IF there was something new. I relied on that to note new items there.

The current situation is not good. Everytime you change characters really turns off customers instead of entices them. And I now have no idea when something new is added so the previous utility is gone. The problem with this severe overkill is that people become blind to it and their fingers simply develop the habit of blindly hitting the 'go away' key every time they log in or change characters. The popup now is as meaningless to established players as blindly auto clicking through all the game's opening credits every time you log in.

Basically, the current arrangement is irritating to players and counterproductive if the objective is to draw business the crown store.

I strongly urge a return to the situation before yesterday's update.

The new announcements window is the ugliest glob I have ever seen in a game in fifteen years.

Yea but .... Sometimes there is free stuff.

i liked the old one better...smaller and off to the side.

First game I've ever played where I've been reduced to spamming the ALT key when I log in to play... How SAD is that!

And to think, I am PAYING for this opportunity. *ekoe begins to ponder the ludicracy of this scenario

I saw this monstrosity on the PTS a few times, but I figured it would be more polished before it hit the live server. Kind of naive on my part, as most of us know that once new features or changes hit the PTS, they are more than likely there to stay.

Here's my beef with it:

1) It's far too big. Maybe it works for console players who might be playing on a TV 5-10 feet away, but I'd guess that 90% of the PC/Mac playerbase is playing far closer to their screens. It feels like sitting in the very front row of a movie theater.

2) Too many slides. Right now there are literally 10+ slides in there as I recall. Only the most masochistic players will sit through/click all of these items more than once. Tighten it up and only put the premiere items, or consolidate some of them (like the XP and potion starter packs) into single slides and then link to the Crown Store category. Too many websites do this tactic of overstuffing their front page sliders/carousels with info slides that most users just ignore.

3) Frequency - this is the big one. It is absurd that this appears on each and every character upon login. It makes tasks like feeding horses, crafting writs and moving inventory around between characters even more annoying. I found the earlier system of popping up when there was a new update much better and I would actually check it out. You even got an impulse buy or two out of me over the years with this tactic, and the window was far smaller and manageable on the screen. With this new UI window, I am simply annoyed and will close it immediately.

Please overhaul this clunky, hamfisted appeal for cash shop purchases, and most importantly, allow the players to disable it and/or just make it appear once per day.

Couldn't agree with this post more. I really didn't mind it showing once a day, or when something new was introduced, and as with what poster mentioned, I too would sometimes buy, and even appreciate the heads up IF it were informing me of something new. THIS however does NOTHING but put me off buying, as the point three mentions.

PLEASE ESO!!! get rid of this asap,,,,,,,,,,, for the sake of your player. I'll even buy the option to delete this piece of garbage marketing... through the crown store (joking! ... or maybe not???)

Please make the announcement popup toggle-able in the settings or at least stop it from coming up after the first time per day. You have the option on the menu if we want it.

Totally agree. If theyre set on this, having it pop up once a day is tolerable. But having it pop up upon every login makes it feel like im logging into a Free to play game with a cash shop.
