When you log into Mafia Wars, I'm sure you will notice this new and different pop-up. It takes the entire page of your game and closing it is a little different. There is no X and you need to click on the "Skip Button" to clear it.
This would be a good thing if it were the only pop-up to deal with when you log in, but no such luck. It's basically the old "Keep The Gifts Flowing" pop-up but it comes before the Zynga Message Center pop-up instead of after. No worries if you need the ZMC pop-up to remind you that you have gifts because you will get that one as soon as you clear the one from above.
What is the point of these pop-ups? They have devoted 2 game header icons to these items and by now we should all know where to find them and most of us prefer to sent and accept gifts when we choose which is usually not as soon as we log in.
If they insist on continuing with these annoyances, can't they combine them into one pop-up rather than 2? If you think about it, why would they ask you to send gifts before accepting them? Once you use up all your requests, you can't even gift back!
I always wonder what they think when they introduce such crap. You have very nicely put why those popups are abboying and unwanted.
ReplyDeleteFunny enough, in interviews, Zynga brags about how they monitor usage of their games and improve gameplay experience. I'm not sure what brings them to this idea of frontal popup spam, though...
Must be the "better performance" they was talk about : haha
ReplyDeleteMore and more Pop-up, less good lot in fight, less energy refill in fight club, no game promotion for energy or stamina refill, playing sending and waiting gift, limitation for all, new rival (what's nice fight always the same people as over 14 millions players? I know someone stopped play because he's day after day attack by the same person)
better they put also limitation for fight (like 10 attack and change user. To be attack by high level 78 times is so funny?) or limitation like you cannot attack less level than your :D
Guess they want people stop playing :p
