Merge Academy: Sticker Book Automatically Opens When Awarded Items

I couldn't agree more. This is annoying beyond belief. I prefer to collect the stickers when I choose.  POGO please do a survey, if you must, and find out how many players like or dislike this new and completely unnecessary feature.

100% agreed. Very annoying. Serves no purpose except to slow the game down.

I agree. Having the sticker book pop-up is incredibly disruptive to game play. i'd prefer to access the stickers when I'm ready. Please do consider backing out this change, POGO. (It's bad enough that we're forced into the event grid when there's a new one - that's another update I'd like to see reversed!)

Completely agree. Since we're paying to play these games, how about you let us decide when and how we play them? It's the same with the side games on Monday morning. I can't go to the main game first. I am forced to go to the side game AND sit through the tutorial. WHY? 

i am so happy to see others hate the change with the sticker book pop-ups. It's so annoying. Return it back to how it was. 

Yup - something finally irritated me enough to dig around and find this place. My husband and I HATE HATE HATE the popup windows that spring onto the screen in the middle of the game. I am trying to place items strategically, and between the screen "reminding" me that I have challenges, now there's this fresh hell. It has caused me to misplace items or, for instance, double click on an energy spot or crystals I was trying to save for merging to their max level before accepting. 

I also find it excessively cheap of them to have drastically reduced the rewards for the sticker albums. If y'all are trying to get me to cancel my membership, you're doing a great job of that. 

AGREED! It was bad enough in the main game where at least you have paused to finish an order and click "Done". In the side grid event it is worse because you are less likely to see it coming! It seems like you are trucking along in a groove and BAM there is the sticker book pop-up! The first time it occurred it took a minute to even figure out what happened because I did not even see the milestone graphics in the upper left. In hindsight, I hit 3000 merges.

REALLY ANNOYING - and seemingly unnecessary! What benefit does this provide to either Pogo or the user? 

I assume it's because there are people who never click on the sticker book and don't know what it's for. Presumably new players. The same thing happens with the ridiculousness of putting sticker packs in Farm Merge Valley. And no, we do not want yet another thing we need to hit "skip" for, Pogo - please take this new annoyance all the way away. Suggestion: please also give us the option to open the sticker packs all at once rather than growing old waiting for each card to stop twirling and then have to click 'continue' for the next card pack. Thank you in advance.

I have not earned any "new" stickers since the auto pop up  change. I was able to cash in after earning 300 stars and got 1 new sticker that way. Has anyone else experienced this? 

I earned 1 new sticker today - from 11 packs. All earned for completing orders or tasks, none purchased. Total of 5 black, 1 green, 3 blue and 2 purple. The new sticker was in a purple pack. My total is now 84 of 108, if that makes a difference.
