    I just want to know if the rest of you are insulted by these multiple part ads...or am I just being a wuss? I know no one is forcing me to watch ads, to save time...But really????
    The Verizon ad is 4 ads about 10 minutes each; so 40+/- minutes long to save 45 minutes. I just find that insulting.

    There's a 2nd set of Verizon ads that are 2-3 minutes each, but they just keep playing ad after ad, I couldn't last to figure out how long it ran.

    I'm all for watching reasonable ads, 1-2 minutes long, but come on BP. These types of things make DO frustrating to play. I won't get into the ads you watch that you don't get credit for.

    Why would you move this from the general issue section and then delete the poll?
    After 2 months, 200 hours, $50...I'm done. Thanks for some fun DO but frankly like your ads, you're not worth it.

    Josh you wouldn't have lasted anyway 2 months:rolleyes: it takes years to play this game

    jackknife, I could last... I mean put up with DO, but what's the reason? What do you get for 2 years of time? I saw a player on here with 7600 hours of experience, that's almost 4 years of full time work.

    That's the game and it has been mentioned over and over, but it is what it is and if you like it then it will bring you great satisfaction! I do.

  4. Adblock is not the answer when the player is trying to save time off the transfer time. Its really not the answer for the ad issues DO has at all. I am trying to find a pic block for your forum profile picture.

    Some of the ads are really long the OP's issue is that all that is saved is 5 min. Some are long, some are offensive, and some are for things that are expired.

    In response to your responses:
    -2010!!, I had to disable Adblock just to get the ads to load. So I love Adblock, but it's not the answer. Having BP present reasonable ads that work is the answer. But from past experience with BP, I'm just ****ing in the wind.
    -jackknife, I could last... I mean put up with DO, but what's the reason? What do you get for 2 years of time? I saw a player on here with 7600 hours of experience, that's almost 4 years of full time work. What would I / did he get for it? I could think of 10 other games that are not broken and have a better experience. This is fresh in my mind as this week: my EMP would not fire and my premium hot keys reset by themselves...
    -PSKSUNDANCE, I agree.

  6. They're not obliged to. If you want ads gone, then use AdBlock and AdBlock plus. It works fine for myself and others, and if it's not doing the same for you then you should make sure you have the latest version.
     
  7. The OP is referring to the ads to transfer cargo for 45 minutes less.

    Yellowsubmarine is right, I'm referring to the cargo transfer ads that you choose to click on. Just tonight I had 30 minutes left on a transfer so I clicked on an ad to save 45 min. It brought up a 1:23 state farm ad. 1:23 is reasonable. After the 4th ad each ~1:30 each I closed it. This time it gave me the 45 min credit... sometimes not. I realize BP is not obliged to do anything, but I'm not obliged to watch ads that make me feel like I'm being abused either.

    Oh... I thought I was the only one who felt that way. Don't get me wrong if you like DO, great. In my opinion, I've played other on line games and personally don't see it. If you spent 7 gagillion hours and $5000 cash to get to UFE, with 10 drones and a maxed pet, great you can go and crush people. If you're level 1 to 20, you're the one getting crushed, that's not a game, that's abuse. I get enough abuse at work, I want to have fun when I play a game. Just saying.

    Thank you to all that took the time to respond.
    You can close this post, I'm done.

  9. Yeah...that is true for long long ads...that is annoying. If you skip an ad due to a crash on your browser you can't continue :confused: Glad your issue was resolved.
