Guild Wars 2

I’ve been playing this game now for a fair bit of time, and with all it’s ups and downs there is one thing, one “small” thing, that’s annoying the hell out of me.

That’s every form of popup, window or text that can’t be hidden.

For example, currently in the SPvP map Forest of Niflhelm there’s a spawn timer for the beasts along with an informative text telling you what happens when you kill them.
Now all of that is great for new players, not so much for an experienced one.
The fact that you can’t hide it is infuriating because in a game with a ton of effects and things you need to pay attention to, the last thing I need is two huge boxes telling me stuff i already know or don’t give a kitten about.

Another example would be information regarding SPvP tournaments.
That green text informing me there’s currently a cool tournament going on and that I can go watch it on Twitch. There’s nothing wrong with that information, it’s good to let players know.

… But is it necessary to force us to see that text constantly?
I’ve read the text, thank you for letting me know, now please go hide!

Considering the lack of mod support, I would have expected us to atleast be able to customize our UI in a basic manner.

I dislike playing with a fixed billboard on my screen, informative or not.

I can’t be the only one that feels this way?
