    This makes me nervous to even continue to use MMO-C on my phone, who knows what else it's doing int he background in additional to forcible redirects to the PLAY store.
    Any update on this from the mods/Sunshine?

    The community whined and bitched and cried, they stamped their little feet and demanded faster expansion releases. They don't get to complain now that expansions are shorter.

    Ad guys have been trying to track it down; they've been making tweaks but apparently no luck yet? Still happening to everyone today?

    They're currently planning some steps to give us a bit more control over ads on mobile platforms; keep letting me know if it's still happening and I'll keep bugging them.

    Any updates on this issue? Seemed like it was almost resolved since last weekend but the last couple days the redirects have come back.

    It's been 3 weeks now. Is anything going to be done? I think it's time to disable ads for mobile user agents until it's sorted instead of knowingly letting this happen.

    Only thing (like someone else said in this thread) I find that work is disabling Javascript. That's the only work around I can think of for now and it is a tad annoying when going to another site that needs or uses it, but just a temporary work around nonetheless. On a side note, it loads faster with no Javascript on for some reason, >.>

    I have been browsing mmochamp on my phone for a week now and I have not seen a single popout ad. iPhone 5 on standard safari.

    This is an Android issue. I don't believe iPhones have access to Google Play.

    Just started happening for me, Galaxy S4. I'd like to second the motion for a mobile app.

    Also, if anyone feels like "fighting back", go to the Google Play page that's linked, and rate the app poorly, explaining that it's because the company is employing malicious advertising. I know many companies read and respond to negative reviews of their products, so this may motivate them to change their ad practices.

    Still happening to me. Happened to me twice yesterday and two different times of the day.

    Every time I open the frontpage on my One X a youtube video shows up. Don't know what vid it is though, it just says "invalid request", but I guess it's similar or the same as the Candy Crush thing going on.

    I stopped browsing mmo-champion on my tablet due to this issue.

    Still happening. I stopped using the site with my iPad for this reason.

    I hate to concur, but it's happening again.

    iOS 7.0, Safari, iPhone 4S.

    Google Chrome (iOS) however seems to work and not redirect.
