Had a similar experience with Diablo 3 but instead of a popup spam, it was a friend that was practically foaming at the mouth with how obsessed he had become with the game. All I had asked from him was to level me to cap so I could gear and play with him for that season. He began to practically play the game for me, telling all the stuff I need for this and that and blah blah blah and it reminded me real quick why I left the online gaming community. There's no fun in it anymore and I don't have time to worry about minmaxing and deminitioning returns. I just wanted to casually click shit on a screen and chill with my friendo.
