    this addon although out of date and has UI erors works to block this announcement:
    http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info865-Nothankyou.html#info

    Also in comment there is a fix for the UI errors which is cosmetic in someways and breaks some functionality but the main stuff is still working.

    Precisely. I used to look forward to seeing what's new. Now I just slam ALT and move on without looking.

    Don't think that's the effect they had hoped for. :)

    I don't mind notifications for new items for sale since I like to preview them at least and I will get used to the bigger ad and be fine with it after a while but...
    1) The smaller one is easier for me to read because the bigger one is distracting
    2) Once is enough
    3) It is advertising a bunch of stuff I already have

    Well, if it would show once a day - ok - but it shows with every character login and especially after these very frequent connection losses on PC EU still - which have to be server-sided, I do not have problems like this with other games - this forced-on-me ad is really incredibly annoying. Do not advertise for a service in the moment where it isn't working correctly - that is a stupid move.

    Agreed. Please ZOS, reduce the adverts for the crown store to their previous size and make them pop up just once a day per account. We know our way to the forums if we want more information. This is just aggravating your customers. But I am starting to think that is exactly what you are trying to do with the latest trends in the crown store.

    Its annoying to have to deal with the popup 10+ times a day when swapping characters.

    GET RID OF IT OR GIVE ESO+ SUBSCRIBERS AN OPT-OUT SETTING. YOU ALREADY HAVE OUR MONEY!

    For the last several months, I have increasingly felt like that is not enough for them. I subscribed to ESO Plus, giving them money every 6 months, and they just didn't seem satisfied.




    I agree.

    But if they lose 20 subscribers who pay $13.99 each month (6-month sub) and gain 1 person who spends $300 in the crown store each month, guess who they will cater to.

    It's very ugly. I agree that it should be toggleable or at the very least make it smaller and in line with other boxes in the UI. No, Thank you add-on may fix it indeed!

    Has any of you also noticed longer loading screens and a slackening in game performance?

    Just worked it out; all these damned ads popping up all over the place are having an effect on the game server.

    God help us if they do it after every loading screen.

    Just came up with an idea they should adopt. Have the damned ad as part of the launcher, just before character select screen, there is no need for it to appear in game at all.

    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?

    Don't, just don't or we will end with situations like:
    You login on your heavy armoured orc holding axe that can slash through dragon skull and first what you see after login - "Hi, checkout our discount on purple dresses and fluffy kittens pets". #immersion

    The message would be annoying enough, but I don't even just get the message. It generates a UI error for me, so I have to dismiss the freaking error. More than annoying.

    Yes this popup needs to go, every dammed time i switch chars I get this popup. And it makes me more and more angry.

    Because of this I am losing intrest to buy the summerset dlc, just because of the aggressive way of ads. And some how I suspect more players are thinking this.

    I even wil go so far to say. If this way of advertising stays I will going to take a brake of this game until it is change. With this ad popup crafting dailies and switching char are getting really annoying.

    That really stinks, sorry to see that. If it's a LUA bug, I suggest checking the error report for the possible addon conflicting, I use the BugCatcher addon as well to stop/trap UI errors. It also gives a full error report in the settings so I can trace which addon is giving grief. (not that reading a error stack trace is fun but... at least it's something)

    Well to simply add my voice to those already here, get that hellspawn of an advertisement out ASAP. It is unacceptable, you tried with the little banner but you went too far. While mechanically it does nothing since walking away takes it down immediately, it just rips away my joy of logging in and horribly kills it somewhere in a greedy corner.

    Where I usually got excited to see that my character was loaded and ready to go now I get a pop-up in my face similarly to a nervous wreck of a sales-worker that is addicted to getting restraining orders.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_RichLambert Are any of you paying attention to this post?

    This is way past getting old for me and so many others in this game. I thought that maybe, after the patch today, that I would log in and that annoying popup that almost covers my whole screen would be gone. Sadly, it's still here and on every single character I load. It's not bad enough that we get it when logging every character into the game, but we get it randomly throughout playing the game, for instance, after a random load screen that pops up when just trying to explore Summerset Zone.

    I will say this again, I know what's for sale in the Crown Store because I see the post on Facebook, Twitter, the main ESO website, in the email I receive from ZOS, and when I click on the Crown Store in game. I already own Summerset and honestly, this constant advertising window popping up every time I log a character (I currently have 10 that I do writs on each day), is making me not want to buy anything from the Crown Store.

    My personal email accounts had a block/spam option or I can just unsubscribe from any emails subscriptions that I no longer wish to receive. My phone has a block option when I receive calls from random solicitors or robot calls. Please don't make the players in this game look for a way to block your popup add.....and that is already being asked for in the addon community.

    One Crown Store announcement per account is not too much to ask for is it?

    IMO even once a day would be too often; only having it pop up when new things are for sale at least has something resembling utility.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno Im tagging you because I know you'll actually read this. This pop up is extremely bothersome. Most of us have Bought Summerset and have multiple Characters and doing writs is becoming aggrivating. Changing character for anything is becoming aggrivating.
