Ingame popups to buy items...

Is there an option other then "don't display these for today"? Preferably a "don't display any kind of this popup, especially while I'm in the middle of an instance with a ton of things going on, where a distraction can mean that I die"?

Seriously PWI. If I wanted to buy dreamcatcher scrolls, I'd buy them BEFORE entering BH Eden, not in the middle of a bloody bossfight. Popups are annoying. If this is the way this game and organisation is going, I will not be playing any of your games much longer.

Learn from AltaVista... Once the biggest searchengine on the net. Then they forced popups whereas google didn't...
I'm so P.R.O... I Press Respawn Often.

    I don't get pwi's logica in this at all:

    over 5 years old game, everyone knows about the guardian scrolls, WHY after 5 years of gameplay make an annoying tutorial-like pop-up that applies to every character uncaring for it's age in the game, for an item that's almost obsolete for PvE servers and who-ever needs them has had them already, for years.
    Remove the popup, permanently. Just like that annoying pop-up for new players when they level up: "don't show this again upon leveling"
    Make the same option for the guardian scrolls: "Don't show this again when I'm already dead"b:bye

    This is BS and a major distraction, besides if you have gold, you will buy the scroll if you press on the pop up ****, with today`s gold prices that`s about 1,5m + per scroll...

    A friend was dueling me today and... When I had just the tiniest bit of HP left, that thing popped up out of nowhere, spooking me.
    How dares it scare the scary fox?

    Anyway, I agree it is annoying. No need to put advertisements about things everybody already knows about. If somebody doesn't have said items in their inventory, it might be because they don't need/want/afford... Not because they don't know it existed.

    It auto-buys when you click the icon? **** that stuff the icon is huge and already have to focus just to click that "don't remind me for today"-checkbox.

    Remove any and all pop-ups implanted in the game since this update.

    They are unwanted, unhelpful, obstructing, distracting and a lousy attempt at getting us to waste our small pockets of gold. They also pop-up in Flowsilver Palace when doing Axes on Toadboss. Just let me rightclick the item in inventory and not have that damn unremovable icon floating around my screen when I have to click on the ground to pick one axe up and not waste my axe, **** up the boss and making the entire squad getting killed because axes are out of their timing thanks to clicking that pop-up that even disappears/reappears when you're stunned...

    You what...? O_o

    I don't actually play anymore, but are PWI seriously throwing advertisement pop-ups out mid-game now? I did enjoy the game once, but every time I look by, something else unbelievably ridiculous has been introduced. It sounds like PW's an absolute joke now. b:chuckle

    Who got this idea seriously? Don't tell me that this person ever played to that game.

    I probably won't be impacted myself since I always have dolls on me (if ever it happens in NW/TW...) but I know people that not only were distracted by the po-up but who also pressed the button, buying items they don't want.

    Please remove this asap...

    This is just too much..

    we know you want to make money and we know we have to pay the "price" for playing a free to play mmo but this doesnt just show a totaly new level of greed, it is also very distracting, annoying and it happens at the worst possible times.

    Come on havent we already put up with enough?

    We understand that Devs, GMs etc dont do this for fun and wanna be paid, so do i when i go to work, but... seriously? THIS?!

    I´ve been playing for the longest time and seen alot happening with this game, usualy im not too worried or upset, things come and go, they change, we get used to it and even tho we will most likely get used to this one too, this really pushes my buttons.
    My Wallet will stay closed for a while now, thats for sure. Wouldnt wanna risk accidently hitting the button and buying a scroll for that price. lol

    I'm Going to say the same thing on this as everyone else (I Do not! Appreciate Fighting Lord of Captivation and having That LAME AzzeD Pop-Up show up and almost get me killed right off the bat)

    So Sparkie, please do us all a BIG favor and tell those Fools who did this Not SO Little UN-ANNOUNCED ADD-ON to the game, to get it outta it FAST!!! Because they've already irritated the living **** outta us and tried their luck 100 times over so far this year, with that Forced ARC Bit & now here it is barely a month later and they're Pulling more **** AgAiN!! And Our Senses of Humour Have All Died! LONG AGO!!!b:angry

    So please be sure toTell them that if they're truly trying to drive us all away from the company & all the games that they offer with their continuously Ill-planned monetary attempts, then they deserve MAJOR Congratulations!!!! Because they're getting really good at it now...{b:surrender}b:bye

    Blah blah... 5 year-old game... blah blah... everyone knows... blah blah...
    

    Ever heard of new players? They don't know these stuff (yet). Maybe wanting it gone it's just a cliché opinion among veteran players who forget noobs exist.

    An option to turn those pop-ups off would be great though.

    P.S.: For those talking about leaving: if only it was easy for you to do it...

    That's what loading screens or "guide avatars" like that little veno are for. Pop ups to buy things for new players is actually more horrid then for the old players.

    Its big, ugly, annoying, inconvenient, what else?

    The **** appears without even checking if I do or not have gold to buy guardian scrolls or if I do or not already have guardian scrolls, this **** is stupid, mindless, nonsense, gamebreaking and ridiculous.

    And ****ty

    And annoying, have I said it's ridiculous?

    Please, remove this pop-up immediately.

    Or at least add an option to disable it permanently.

    b:surrenderOk if having to now play on arc wasn't bad enough, now lets add pop ups to ruin playing even more. Seriously, after 5.5 years playing this game and becoming more and more disapointed, I think this has just iced the cake. b:angry I loved this game from the beginning and after we added sins and psys I thought whoot this can only get better. However, after that point I think PW decided that instead of making a "FREE TO PLAY" game really free, its now a Pay to play. No matter what anyone says...how they farmed for r9 gear and blah, blah, blah. The pop ups which appear right over the mob I was about to click but then hit purchase instead because of it, only shows that it is now a money hungry game. b:shutup I have the cleric no exp loss skill so that is the dumbest thing to appear. And even if I was on one of my other toons that distraction would mean the difference between life or death. Keep your damn gardian scrolls... I don't want them and wouldnt give you another dime until you fix this ****. Why not focus on things like the reawakened letter quest that has been broken...or one of the many glitches in the game.
    I don't like ARC nor do I want to play on it and I shouldn't be forced too. Dumbest thing pwi has ever done...but, i am sure its only to help them make more money. b:sad

    Agreed. This method covers part of the screen and are a big distraction. In my case it covered part of my skill bar. Something like the flashing exclamation mark would be better.

    The loading screens text I find hard to notice. Sheomay is very handy, unless the person turns it off (their fault then). The pop-up might also be a mean to get more income. Sign of bad times perhaps?

    I wonder how does a new player feel when they struggle to buy hypers, struggle to get to lv 100 and gear up and discover they need to do all that twice again.

    Really a real NEW player would feel extremely unconfortable with how broken this game is, there MAY be new players, but they won't stay for long. Most the current player base is made of folks who started here YEARS ago when the game wasn't that broken, so they had some reason to stay for a while.

    There are, but there arent many new players reaching endgame because of the massive hurdles they have to go through if you want to be even slightly competitive.

    Level to 100 3 times
    Get to mirage sky X for spirit
    do FSP for cards
    Nuemas/Meridians
    go do an instance rarely anyone runs to get the base gear for endgame
    Either Lvl crafting or pay someone to make it all g16 and hope to not get scammed
    spend a month in each Morai faction for skills
    DO UCH which less and less people are doing for skill upgrades

    Do all of that for the most part alone while having barely any income unles you spend a nice chunk of time merching and you'll be slightly usefull
    I blame EA.

    I blame everyone still playing for letting PW get away with stuff like this. That includes myself D:
