It's enough that I have to know that there's a multiplayer aspect to this game and know that it's bad and has microtransactions.
But do you really have to paste a raw image on your nice main menu? This looks like trash and if I was ever going to consider buying into your nickel and dime strategy, I never will now that you've shoved it in my face.
Please remove this blatent, shameless advertising.

It is odd it just literally showed up today but didn't show up right after the hotfix patch. Kinda kills the menu for me it looks so out of place not even bordered or anything.
If there was a way to close them out I would take that.

I'm offended that I didn't get to finger blast Harding back to Kirkwall.
But you don't see me going t*ts-up about it.
It's just an add. I think old games had adds for other games way back when.
Unless that Planescape: Torment trailer in Fallout was added just recently xD
Since I don't do MP I wish I could give all the MP chests I have from various things to people who could actually use them
I wish they would invest more into the single player game, or the PC port, and not add MP to begin with. Mass Effect and Dragon Age are single player RPGs. They don't need half ass MP.
Pretty desperate-looking. "Please, please play our shitty MP! EA wants more money!"
Weird I don't have it?
I've never had it.
Wonder what makes the difference.
advertisement? where?
....huh, i guess its because im not logged in...

Nope I'm logged in and not seeing it.
But I did accidently hit MP once and then backed right out. Does that make the difference I wonder?
I don't get any ads in the main menu either (PC)...?

I was wondering the same thing. My main menu looked normal when I was playing a few hours ago. PC here as well.
Edit: Not that I'm complaining.
Had an ad for 'Try multiplayer and get a free equipment chest!' (which btw is filled with nothing but crap 
).
I don't mind ads like that on the main menu. BUT it should be better styled instead of literally slapping a picture over the beautifully animated menu screen. It's way too jarring and looks like something you find in a badly made Android game. At least blend it in with the scenery or put it at the bottom so it doesn't ruin the entire ambiance of the screen.
That all being said, I spend like 2 seconds on that screen, so I don't really think it's that big an issue.
This ad is extremely ugly. It's just a single box hanging left of center in my screen. It doesn't even look appealing. I have no intention of playing MP, but now I really have no intention of playing it ever.

I don't have it either. And I've never touched the multiplayer.
Just logged on now and my main menu looks normal.
I have this problem too. I don't understand how they thought this would be a successful marketing strategy. If people aren't playing their multiplayer then asking us if we've crafted any multiplayer items isn't going to encourage us to do so. Now I know that the MP was created by a separate dev team than the SP game but I definitely think that the money spent on it would have better contributed to the SP game and any DLC that they decide to come out with. The problem with DLC as I see it these days is that only in a handful of games is an appropriate amount of effort put in. What would have been cool instead of an MP option is the ability to actually build all of Skyhold. If they wanted my money they would have released that DLC already. I'd spend five bucks on that. Or new locations to the game to mention a more extravagant addition. I would like to see some Qunari locations or a Tavinter one or something. But that is a slightly high order.
But yeah, if you want to advertise a feature of your game, let the feature of your game advertise itself. Throwing in a MP mode in a single player tactical game, where in SP mode you pause the game frequently as an element of combat, probably wasn't the best idea. It fit well with ME because you didn't have to alter the combat experience exponentially. Not so here. IT just feels out of place and has fans wondering why more resources weren't put into the game proper. Another good example is Iron Bull's Companion Mission, the Demands of the Qun. The ship scene...Looked like it would be better at home in Origins than Inquisition.
Love the SP experience though. Don't want this post to be all negative xP
Who in their right mind thought this is a good idea 
And no, i haven't crafted the stupid armors.
I don't have it either. And I've never touched the multiplayer.
Just logged on now and my main menu looks normal.
You probable set "Origins in Game" to off.
I have everything set of off. btw. I saw that crap once.. did something about it.
Platinum not selling well eh ea/bioware???

Same here. Never saw an add. But it'll probably pop up once I actually play the MP, just to remind that there is a MP...

Oh, believe me, I'd be giving Bioware hell if that showed up on my main menu.
ME3's "WHY U NO MULTIPLAYER?" Galaxy at War screen was tacky enough.
I'd be alright with them having some kind of news banner - Mass Effect had that 'computer' - but they really need to make it more subtle, not just cut a whole in the title image.
Just have it occupying a thin bar along the top or bottom. (Preferably bottom since that is where the button space is.) A smaller image below the menu is also more tolerable.
But... this.... augh.

I'd be surprised if it did. Not only is the starting curve for DAMP slower than MEMP (I suppose they're trying to encourage plat) making the game less fun for beginners trying it out, the money-to-chest ratio is by FAR worse for DAMP than it was for MEMP.
