getting straight to the point
In WvW since the quarterly patch you introduced the reward tracks for WvW ,
now along these , you introduced a participation and reward bar on top of our minimaps with a chest top right that when we hover over it it shows some information about the next reward and how much participation you have.

In my opinion that hover-over chest is in the way of the floating chests that give you all the rewards,

First slight annoyance a lot of the times whenever i try to move my mouse over to that reward-chest/rank-up chest to open it, i accidentally hover over the participation chest, then the window with the information opens and i have to close that to access my reward-chests, (more over it sometimes bugs out when i press the X top-right of that participation box and i have to close it twice)

My Solution to the hover-over participation chest being in the way, is simply to make it pop up and stay on click ,not on hover-over,

that way when i try to move my mouse on top of the reward-chest to open it i dont accidentaly hover-over it and the pop up doesnt get in the way,
its already a clickable so it probably wont be a problem.

Next slight annoyance from the new participation system is that, literally every 5 minutes it says “Reward Track Progress, Earned X reward-track points for the WvW tick.”
it pops up every 5 minutes ,

My Solution is that it should probably not even be there, we can see how much participation we have either by clicking on the little chest or just looking at the bars, i dont think we need to see exactly how many points we get every 5 minutes (literally) i think its too much clutter

PS: this probably my 2nd post in these forums since 3 years now, i did read the tips and the do’s and dont’s about these and i tried to follow them as close as possible.

and for further clarification:
The images below is what this entire thread is about with all the terms “hover-over chest” etc.

excuse my crappy topic-creating skills

Don’t they stop showing if you just un-tick the boxes? I purposely ticked mine (used to HoT maps).

I never got the ‘every-5-minute’ announcement…guess mine is broken.

it might solve it, but i still would like to see the participation i have, and not have the pop up every 5 minutes :P

I don’t know how to get the ‘pop-ups’, so no advice on how to get rid of them….sorry.

I only know to ‘tick’ the boxes to get my participation to show, which, as noted above, I did.
