lock box mania! I wish we could turn off the admin messages, at least on the social tab, and the screen pops made it hard to play....but yes, that many people were opening boxes and winning. With 50 key packs and the ability to open 50 in about 15 seconds or so per person...thousands of lockboxes per minute were obviously being opened. My own name was up there 4 times in about a 15 minute span and my VIP is good for like 2 years now...lol
I play on a 55 inch screen and seeing 1/3 of my screen blocked by yellow letters to the point it gives me a headache i guess i need to find new game for day or 2 and maybe ARC or whoever can come up with way we can disable the admin. chat line basically because i really don't care who wins what it doesn't send me a message to my brain saying" buy keys you might win 1 of those" let us choose if we want to see this HAMSTER or not please, its spam at its worse and i can't even report it as spam because its admin .
As the title says. I know that I and the rest of my guild have gotten tired of not being able to see our screens because of the absurd number of admins CONSTANTLY filling it with the same names over and over.
We're not interested in how much money these people put into the game, and we don't need to see the same names over and over, every day (But that's another issue)
I know that. But we should finally get an option to disable it. No-one cares that Arc's favourites are throwing cash at the screen for yet more legendaries. It's always the same names, every single day.
Anyone who thinks the lockboxes are rng, are fooling themselves. There's no way in hell the rest of us get maybe an Epic admin a year, and these few individuals pull multiple legendaries a day.
Just sick of seeing it on my screen, constantly, and not just during this event.
Well, by now people should know that it's the same time every Tuesday. 3pm GMT+1, 2pm GMT during the colder months. I'm not even the most hardcore of players and I know this.
Today though, blessedly less on the screen. Still the same names though. So glad my name didn't pop up even with 170 keys though...
Tell me about it, when a guy like DOOM***** has 24x Glorious Resurgence LEGENDARY Packs posted for sale on the tradehouse and I only get EPIC VALUE from it ... I really don't know what is tripping more the RNG or the player...
Check and see for yourself! I mean seriously twenty F**** four packs.
That guy was streaming on Twitch opening 20,000 lockboxes. Which is why he has 24 legendary packs for sale. Some people have a lot of disposable income. The display wealth made me sick enough to turn it off after watching him open about 500 or so.
Yea I watched it...and now certain people like him a TRASHING the market e.g. the rank 12s enchantments with HIGH BIDS nobody literally nobody would pay for just show his super mega hamster off. >:)
But oh well I guess that's not the top, currently one in PE a DC from the [removed] guild named [removed] is offering a trade for...wait for it...waaait...
99x Glorious Resurgence Legendary Packs
Yes, with the extra add that it is "no typo error".
Ugh people...

Disabiling the Admin messages would also stop the server shutdown warning they send out before maintenance.
It's simple to give that particular message a disable override.
Because this needs to stop, in less than 10 minutes now you can have over 100 Admin messages spamming the chat.
Yes, spamming, that's what they are now; spam. No-one really cares who got what and honestly the 3rd party spam wasn't even close to this bad, at least it was localized to PE. This you can't escape, can't ignore, can't turn off.
For the sake of the chat system being remotely usable, either give us the option to turn the Admin messages off or make them infinitely less intrusive.
Only have Legendary items shown and limit where the messages can show up to safe zones like PE/Mantol.
Cause we certainly can't report the Admin for spamming.
While we're on the subject, would it be appropriate to add to the list of unwanted admin messages in non safe zones... Every single random group item I didn't want... Hopefully, someone's going to say, "oh, you can turn that off by..." but on Dungeons, when the inevitable "do you want this rank 5 enchantment" pops up in the middle of a fight, and I quickly dismiss it by saying, "no thanks I'm busy..." I'd rather not have the screen subsequently clogged up with a message telling me who won, oh, and by the way YOU didn't even want it!

Please... tell me I can turn this off...
Not a super duper solution (and the voting popup is still bad) but on PC you can move the "Notification Windows" UI element off to the side rather than in the middle of the screen.
Esc --> Rearrange HUD --> move the "Notification Windows" element
I moved mine off to the left in between party portraits and chat window. But you could also find a different home.
I finally got one on Saturday... Spangly Space Stag, or whatever it's called, from a daily VIP key, and was in such a state of shock I missed whether my name popped.
