Guild Wars 2

I now have what can only be described as ADVERTISING cluttering up my screen.

In the upper right corner of my screen there is a gold star labeled “Fall Competitive Events”. Clicking it drops down an invitation to join in on the WvW Fall Tournament.

I don’t care about WvW, and I want my screen space back. I’m sure even the WvWers want their screen space back. Guild Wars 2 has always prided themselves in a “clean UI” so that we aren’t distracted from the world we are immersed in.

This is an invitation. It should come in the mail. Not posted on a billboard.

Please tell me there’s a way to get rid of this other than waiting until the tournament is over?

Pretty sure when holiday events are on or the living story events are on, people who don’t participate in PvP have had to look at that for 2 years. Just saying.

I do agree that being able to switch it off would be better though.

Perhaps only displayed when actually in WvW? Context and all that, y’know. Feels like an unsolicited sales call during dinner.

They advertise “events” like this from the start to the game.

In which way is this any different?

Actually, no, only displaying an event that not everyone knows about only in the place is just bad for the game. In fact, we’ve seen almost no complaints about this at all, so probably very few people are affected. We’re all used to seeing living story or events appear on the upper right corner of our screen…or should be anyway.

I finally got rid of the PS/LS crap on my screen and now this? Bah!

I’m OK with seeing it there, but what SHOULD happen when you click on it, is opening the relevant achievement panel. I didn’t have any idea that the achievements were limited to one week, so I missed out on the first week. I already know how to enter WvW.
