I don't think we need 10 seconds to read a notification and they just clutter the screen. IMO notifications should last 3-5 seconds. If this is not reasonable for all purposes, let us have a slider in options between 3, 5, and 7 seconds delay. I don't want to disable it. I just want them to go away as soon as i'm finished reading them. If people need more time to notice notifications. why not store them somewhere that idle players can check that doesn't block the screen.
