@Reaperwolf99 Same here. I have all of the content (except one kit) up until the crystal pack and will not buy anything else moving forward until they get rid of this. I actually LIKE supporting game devs until a game starts getting a little too pushy, then I'm out. Otherwise, if I like the content, I'll buy it, when I'm not pressured to do so. Why do people at the top ever think this is a good move? Ugh.

I've been a loyal customer for years. I've bought everything and there's ZERO reason I need an advert for me to buy more packs. I already hate the store button but now I'm seeing a purple pop up in the bottom left asking me to check out more packs.

PLEASE! Remove it or let me toggle it off. I don't need this kind of intrusion in a game that I play to relax and have fun. It's distracting and unnecessary.

@SparkiekongI totally agree. The advertising is ~~getting~~ out of hand.

So I did a bit of reading and having this shopping cart in the actual game without any way to toggle it off could cause a boomerang effect.

Instead of encouraging players to click the icon and buy packs, it could make them resist buying packs more than they did before you added the icon.

Whereas if it is hidden until players choose to turn on the icon, you're making it more convenient for those who want to browse packs while they have a save game loaded in.

Just something to think about. 🙂
