Missing TWs because of invasive ads

We had a fair few folks miss the last TW, claiming they didn't realise it was on... and here's why: I 'm on an S10+ and down the right hand side of my screen, until a few hours ago, I had 4 notification bubbles for:
Event Active (Malak)
Grand Arena
Pack Available (some flash sale)
Special Offer (the lvl85 end-of-life shortcut pack)

It maxes out at 4 notifications so anything extra doesn't appear. If, like me, you've spent years using these bubbles as the main reminder that anything's going on, having something omitted can mean it gets missed.

Surely it's enough that I get regular pop ups asking for my money and that I see these offers every single time I go to farm a gear piece. I was made aware of this shortcut bundle weeks ago and, as a player since 2015, it doesn't represent good value for money. Ergo, I'M NOT INTERESTED! Interfering with my well-established routine by having it stuck there , is not going to change my mind. Please give me the option to clear it off to make space for a genuinely useful reminder.

    You left out "something you have hundreds and hundreds of, and your guildmate has six of."


    Shrug, okay. I guess there are some guilds that have players in the 5M GP bracket and brand new players as well. But those are an exception to guilds, not a norm. So we can make another rare exception for the guild trade being useful.

    Ok. I guess it's just too hard to accurately elucidate my issue without coming under scrutiny. I'll try one more time: I had a thing I did all the time on this game I play and now because of some adverts from the game makers, I can't do it any more. I'd like the option to get rid of the adverts so I can carry on like I used to...



    FFS.


    This isn't true though. You can still do it... Just pay attention. If you couldn't check the in-game chat or discord or the guild section, that's on you. If no one in your guild even mentioned TW in game or in discord, then it must not matter to anyone else but you, at which point you need at least 24 other people it matters to to sign up. None of those are CG's fault, and nothing CG has done is keeping you from participating in TW.


    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news sweetheart but it categorically is true. I know, because I was there. The thing I did was use the notification bubble to prompt me to join the TW. I can't do that when it's not there. I even wrote the words 'It's not CG's fault...' in an earlier post. I never said they prevented me from doing anything, simply that their ad interfered with my normal routine.

    Honestly, if you're going to object to something I say then object to something I say, not something I haven't. But given I tried to bring it down to the lowest level and you still objected, I'm going to safely assume you're just objecting for the sake of it... so crack on, I'm sure everyone else thinks you're awesome. You hero, you.
