  Talk is cheap. We can talk ad nauseum about changing things but until you create a need to change there is absolutely no motivation for the company to do anything.

  Bottom line: Quit playing games for credits with people you don't know and trust. Quit playing tournaments sponsored by WGT that award prizes and credits. If (and I believe that's a big "if" anymore) the income from those tournaments and games drops enough WGT will address the issue. No change means that WGT is satisfied with tourney and credit game income levels where they're at.

  The reason I say "if" income levels drop is simple. There may be enough sandbaggers and multi-accounters playing those games now they are providing enough profit to carry those games. My philosophy has been to stay away from those games and let the cheaters beat each other up.

  I think they change the pin placements every few weeks so people wont get use to putting to the same spot all the time also

  Bliz stops the real world auction  as of march 2014 in Diablo 3 game. Even though auction was good way to players to make money..most players using auction than playing game.

  Same with WGT , i am only seeing top players  play the game to make money because it seems there is nothing to achieve anymore.

  We need HARDCORE level with same clubs for everyone. But balls can be different. Revenue for WGT from balls not from clubs. This way players start at same level...its all about how you play each game. ensure 80% of holes not reached by wedge. :)

  Try playing Uneven Lies with starter clubs on St A or RSG in heavy winds and Tourney speed greens. It's pretty hardcore.

  Lots more than that to mastering the game.  Each approach on each hole requires skill.  Putting is the real difference in the very top players.  Maybe we can make em putt with a wedge to even things out!!  :-)

  Top players putting skill is not good. They hit to pin and most does is tap in putts. They are good at ding.

  I disagree. On the easier holes that's true but where the best players make their scores is when they miss the fairway or ding badly and have to hole a 15/20 footer for birdie.

  Now Alex you know you just prodding there:)  They are excellent putters as just eloquently summed up:

  Well they have an excellent distance to the pin usually that's true.

  Pretty good at it I wager:)
