    Err...your complaint is that the game is offering to sell something you dont NEED?
    It was always like that...many players have teams maxed and get adds for packs that provide only shards for those teams...ads are not "targeted"...but "random"...
    Pretty sure that on any specific day i see all active ads, and many of them more than once...is whatever is on sale that particular week i think...i no longer "see"...i just mechanicaly click on the "close".

    Not these ads. They pop up 100% of the time you click on Panda, Hux or SET...100% of the time. Every. Single. Time. Ive seen these ads 250 times each now and will see them another 500 before I have SLKR.

    It may be because I have the SLKR journey guide on but either way its annoying and I dont want to turn it off because the flags in shipments is very handy.

    EDIT - just checked its also FOSFTP too. Every time.

    I've never had that add. Just went and looked at FOX and Hux. I've got the journey guide selected. Have you turned off targeted advertising?

    It shouldn’t be a thing especially this particular pack for the price it charged at, i can just about deal with the other ads, it has the opposite effect on me that they are trying to achieve, i just close them without looking now. They have pushed me to free to play with this advertising behaviour.

    You are my new hero. I didn't know about the targeted advertising, I just turned it off and now I dont get those popups every time. Thank you!
