  LS, since I arrived a short while ago, I've found that I enjoy reading your posts. You have the knack of dropping your posts into threads just at the point where I need them, or where it's rightfully needed. Mind you, I don't know if others agree with what I'm saying, but it doesn't matter since I'm speaking for myself here. I have found on more than one occassion that I got the answer I was looking for or needed. Kudos to you!

  Having said that and (sort of) getting back to this thread, I wanted to say that once I quickly hit pro, I thought "huh? already?" I then started to figure things out and decided to stop playing so many ranked rounds in order to slow down that rapid advance, and to give myself a chance to learn the game at my pace. I play the odd stroke tournament each week, but tend to do a lot of practice rounds instead. I just don't like being promoted too quickly or being given a title that I don't feel I have properly earned yet.

  After reading your first post in this thread, and then this one in which you say:

  lonniescott711:

  I am a casual player, and I play for fun. Other than the free tournaments which I play sometimes, I usually limit my play to practice rounds. I still find myself learning, no matter where I am.

  .. I feel better about doing what I'm doing.

  Cheers!

  JKJ3:

  It is a profit-orientated company, but the bottom line is each and everyone has his or her own opinion.  I think I posted my comment in suggestions. I respect the other persons opinion and not attack their opinion but rather post my own opinion.  Seriously I do not care who is at what tier or level or what clubs they purchase, I enjoy playing with anyone who is willing.  I just think that once you reach legend or tour legend, which is their highest tier, you shouldn't have to worry about leveling up to purchase any club.  Frankly I don't see how they could lose money by changing that rule.  In my opinion after you have reached certain levels there is not much more experience you can come up with.  I see much lower level players defeating higher level players everyday.  But this is my opinion, and nothing anyone says except WGT really matters to me, because they are the ones who make the rules.

  I didn't mean to attack you, sorry if you got such impression. I meant to put my opinion to this thread, starting by confirming your statement.

  Sorry to step in again though it doesn't matter to you, but I haven't seen any single statement on this subject by the company while I've been around. Perhaps you'd have success with a mail? (lol)

  There are two sides of that medal:

  - a player might lose fun and interest in the game and quit if he doesn't have the proper equipment,

  - if he stays he will have to play many rounds to reach the desired level, using balls, consuming ads etc. This is the source of some revenue.

  I can't tell about their rationale but it is as it is. Furtheron, the equipment has been tier-orientated until mid 2010. So, they once decided against tier-orientation (with exemptions) and a reversion seems improbable to me.
