Pointless "You've been disconnected" notifications

Why is it that the game still has these? Up until like June or July you'd only get EAC error messages, usually error code 2, but then they added a new message for when the host quits/ends the lobby. All those messages are completely irrelevant, they have exactly 0 value for us as players, yet we're forced to look at them (the horror, right?), but way more annoyingly we have to move our mouse over that "OK" button and "confirm" it every single time it happens. Like "Oh haha the host dodged, thanks for telling me game." or "The game/EAC ######### something up and the lobby ended, thanks for telling me this very valuable information.". I could go on about other things too like the intro that has to be skipped every time you boot up the game and the fact that you get a "please don't turn off your PC" message before you have even the chance to press a key so the actual main menu loads. Both these things wouldn't be such a big issue if the game didn't constantly throw them up. I have 800 hours in this game and while some very annoying issues have been fixed since earlier this year (infinite loading screens, bad audio quality/crackling), the game still manages to stall time over and over. At least once a day I run into a loading softlock after trying to join a lobby. Other issues include trying to join a lobby, the game loads.. and then it just boots you back to the screen you were 10 seconds ago. I am not a programmer and finding bugs probably isn't that easy, but could we at least get rid of those messages and maybe, just maybe instantly load into the main menu (like most MP games do nowadays?). I don't mind waiting for it to load my profile and store data or whatever, but I just don't want to have to tab back and forth and click once a couple of times. After having launched this game probably 250 times in total and having gotten I don't know how many "you've been disconnected" messages after getting kicked from lobbies, it really gets tiring.

Isn't it better if they fixed the issues instead of removing the messages?
just saying, i get ANNOYED with the EAC kicking me out of a lobby almost every 1 out of 4 matches (Exaggerating, yes, but it's really annoying)

They should fix the EAC error yes, but you'd still be left with the notification if the host ends the lobby (which happens pretty frequently, or rather frequently enough to become an annoyance).
It's just plain annoying wanting to play another match ASAP but the game refuses to cooperate. Sometimes it takes me 5+ minutes just to get into a new match as survivor because of multiple issues and softlocks that force me to restart the game.
I also wished they'd remove the stupid 6 second timer (you can't click "join match" until it's not grayed out anymore, it's longer than just 5 seconds) whenever you decide to quit out of a lobby. I realize they have it for a simple reason, to disrupt friends trying to farm in ranked matches, but in the end it won't prevent that issue it's just a minor annoyance. Kinda wish they'd only put you on a timer once you quit 2 or more lobbies in a certain time frame. Like you could quit a high ping/dead lobby and instantly try to find a new game once every 20 minutes. That would resolve that issue for the most part. I love this game, but also hate its guts and most of the hate comes from these design flaws and the game's bugs.
