Update: If you're still seeing the issues reported in the OP of this thread, please see my post here for next steps.
Update: I've moved this thread from the Bug Reports section now that the Epatch is confirmed to have resolved the aspects of the shopping cart we considered bugged. This thread is now in the Feedback section to aide me in gathering and reporting all of the conversations taking place here for the team.
I have already stated my thoughts a couple of months back, but want to reiterate. I hope to see this button removed as it is intrusive, and for a game with a very minimalistic UI, this is a big button that do very little. I am already reminded of available packs in the EA App before launching, and then again in the main menu.
From my understanding the Shopping Button is meant to motivate me to buy- and/or remind me of packs, but currently has the opposite effect on me personally. I think there are better, less intrusive and less aggrevating ways of marketing your packs. I have for instance noticed a new Recommended for you tab in the Main Menu, which I think is a way better way to market specific packs that is neither intrusive nor aggrevating.
Please remove the Shopping button!
Considering all that is discussed in this thread, and the fact that we even have the ability to disable the help center icon (image below), can we at least have the option to hide the cart in the UI, if we cannot convince EA to rid of it altogether? Sorry for the tag, @EA_Cade, but it has been several weeks since I've seen you post; I am hoping you can tell us if this is even still on your agenda for meetings? Thank you!
