If the majority of the time you want to take it, it's not a big deal to have to hit escape when you don't want it, if it's the inverse, it's a nuisance.

    Depends entirely on which side you land on, frequent or seldom user. The balance of convenience changes depending.
    Pressing escape once is completely different than Opening menu, selecting Aetheryte, Selecting Guardians Favour, selecting Yes.

    You're completely crazy if you think otherwise.

    Well I'll agree with you that I'm crazy but that's neither here nor there. I'm glad apparently disagreeing makes me 'completely crazy'.

    But, not to worry, I never suggested the two were the same thing. I am aware that the two are completely different. What I said, was that over the course of several prompts, that difference is secondary because the amount of times you're clicking no, if you're in the segment of people who will be mostly turning GA down, outweighs the aggravation required to simply open up the menu once in a while.

    It's an easy "yes" to the initial suggestion posed by the OP if I'm looking at a world wherein I am only ever going to do 1 leve 1 time and I intend to take GS and I'm a person linking it not initiating it and I'm never going to play the game again. In this world the choice is easy because as an isolated incident it's most certainly better to get a prompt and not have to go through menus. But that scenario doesn't really exist and not everyone wants GA most of the time depending on the circumstances. Again, it depends. What is great and convenient for you is an unnecessary extra for others. Do you leave the UAC setting on in Windows so it can helpfully prompt you all the time for everything? I sure the hell don't. Being prompted for things constantly isn't always preferable.
