Wondering about the AD system

[TimeKeeper]

I have been watching the ads lately hoping it would increase my 40% to 60% returns and it hasn't.. Exactly how does the system know were watching ads as opposed to just standing there AFK?

So after a few beers I was thinking what if the ads system was a bit more interactive, think about when your watching cable TV and every once in a while you'll see a message while watchng a commercial telling you to learn more about that product press this or that button... After all were all obvisilly paying consumers, so if something intrests us one would assume we might actually buy something every now and again.

Then the thought popped into my head, what if it were possable to sell goods through the ad system? Hmmm, I'll use entropia outfitters as an example. Lets say they make a new design on a tee shirt and want too sell it for $20 USD and we have an option to purchase it for 200 PED through the ad, and MA fowards our shipping info and for doing so keeps a small percentage..

I dont know I'm sure the possibilities are endless, but then again im drunk

Yea thats right. AD system dont realy increase our loots. I made a test one day, just after AD was implemented. With ADs off, i looted a 82 peds esi on warrior and 17 peds esi on trox in the same run. With ads on, well... i dont realy see a difference.

The only thing i complain about is this kind of "menace" :

If u dont switch ADS on, u will loot bad. Thats way too much agressive and a little bit too much. According to irl laws, commercial laws, things like this are forbiden.

They don't if you watch them or not, only that have them enable (are visable to you if stop to watch the screens)...did you tick the box on option screen( client loader) ?

I don't think it makes much difference. I can't remember how MA worded it ?, My understanding was that it's specific to each player, just there was more loot added to the lootpool as a result of more players 'watching';directly from advertising revenue.

I have them switched on ...but I've ever seen one ad (living in Belgium) ; the blood annoying noisy 'The Departed' trailer ... so I can't complain

I never noticed any differences with the turned on or off AD option.

I once had a support case about this. My question was how to use the ad-thingie correctly. Did I have to look at it and hear it, or rather just stand in front of it, or whatever. This is basically because I rarely stand in front of those screens as I choose my mobile centers wisely. Their answer was that all of that doesn't matter, you only need to allow the ad-stuff.

In other words: If your loot sucks with ads turned on it would suck even more with it turned off.

Any other questions should be answered by the existing number of threads about loot pool theories.
