Ads when changing worlds?

I was doing some bug fixes for MSI, when I went to change worlds I got an ad. I couldn't skip it or anything. Here's the screen shot.

Ummm, yeah?

Gonna be dumb if people complain, unless the add takes longer than it does to switch worlds, who the fuzz cares!
And if you don't want them, buy membership!
Wonder if adblock for chrome/FF stops them though it's pretty powerful and blocks a lot of things.

I've not seen anything using SMART but it, by default, uses Safe Mode, yes? I don't think that's very fair they're advertising on the main screen now. :/

I was in safe mode, and the ad is about 30 seconds plus another 5-10 seconds wait to switch worlds. It's HIGHLY annoying.

I got an ad that popped up when I logged into a world - one of those ads that zoom from the side of the screen into the middle. Highly annoying as it took away control from the game until you exited it.

Wow I haven't gotten an add yet And I switch world's all the time..That's strange..H'm also let's say if someone wanting to make a world hopping script would this be a problem..?

I don't think adblock fixes this, since it doesn't overlay the world switching, but overlays an overlay.

I usually install Adblock first thing, but I've been lazy doing it lol.
