I agree with brbflyingcats. Maybe have the cushion hideable any time after Melvelous, for example. That way people still get exposed and it'll still sell people (I know it sure sold me the first time I saw "Legendary" pop up over it!), but it's not an eternal torment.
Haha, keep dreamin bro. That club slot is there so you give in to temptation and buy buy buy. It is free 2 play. The devs need to eat somehow.
Oh lighten up, the devs aren't going to remove it because the constant reminder of more/better loot is going to pay for the game. I was just offering some perfectly reasonable alternatives
Agreed that it's annoying, if for no other reason than it is eating seconds of my time to wait for that item to spawn before I can click to the next thing.
