How do I opt out if side activities?

namefaker

I have no interest in the side activities I just want to do puzzles. I don't care about the race I don't care about the collections or the chocolate or the daily challenges. All of these things actually make me want to play less often. I hate how many things I need to skip past between puzzles. Sometimes it feels like it takes more screen taps to get to a puzzle than to actually complete it. How can I stop the endless spam of stuff I cannot even imagine being slightly interested in? The collection pins/stickers or whatever are the worst. If they are tradable somehow someone HMU because I'll literally just give them away.

Thank you so much for this real and informative response! I should have known King was a scummy bunch of scammy losers who hate their community when they tried to copyright the word "saga". Imagine being such a cretin. Thank you again

Hello @namefaker I am sorry you were a given this useless reply by King. It's unfortunately how King run this community now. Some of us real players do still come here and answer questions, but if we don't then King moderators or "game experts" reply and yes, they do use automated systems which often give unhelpful or irrelevant answers.

To answer your original question: King don't listen to feedback on this. The side features are annoying to many other players and some of them (especially Candy Royale) have been complained about a lot. The inclusion of all these side features is part of the game and we cannot opt out or get rid of them at all. Candy Crush is what it is and King won't change it. There is no way to disable any of the side games. I totally agree about the pins being the worst. I was part of the test group who first got this feature and I commented about the animations taking up too much time and the feature being an annoying time waster, but of course no one took note of my feedback. If you find Candy Crush unplayable because of all the pointless side features I would suggest you find a different game. There are quite a lot of similar games out there. King do not take any note of player feedback.
