  I think member greed is partially to blame for what some perceive as WGT issues.

  I too, am lucky to be able to get free credits in fair abundance. 

  BUT... 

  Just because it's free doesn't mean it's fake. How did I get most of the credits? Ad viewing, with a survey every surprising now and then. Yeah, I win a tiny fraction. Why is it important for WGT to get my free credits back? So I'll view and survey some more, which puts $ in their pockets. 

  I've watched tons of videos and took countless surveys and I couldn't tell what any of them were about an hour later, I do them by habit checking certain boxes, if WGT makes money, so be it, that's what it is all about! If they don't make money they close the site, then I have to go to rehab....LOL

  Assuming you can save up 165,000 credits 1000 credits is worth $1.50, until you have 165,000 it is worthless anywhere but here...the sad thing is, I wouldn't walk across the street for a $1.50, I probably would for 1000 credits, but there is no way in the world I would get worked up enough over credits to boycott this site or use the rock ball to make a point.

  If they ever did something to bother me that much I would quit, but never waste the energy to do battle with them...

  As far as the simple "2 lines of code would fix it", you should know by now 2 lines here screws up something else that needs 2 lines of code there and on and on with flash...careful what you wish for!

  So what. WGT made $$ from your efforts.

  Are you now, or have you ever programmed anything?

  I have. The first thing I did upon purchasing my XT was to write a program in GWBasic. 

  Suffice it to say. 

  I stand by my statement. There are fundamental problems here that would be very easy to fix.

  Every 2nd post/thread I read lately  is somebody complaining about something about Wgt, Cheats, Prices of clubs and balls.

  This great game we like to play is going down the tubes because everybody complains about something...  for effs sake peeps, if you don't like it go somewhere else.

  IMHO ....  Wgt has created a monster of a game and is falling on there own sword. With the introduction of new clubs and balls and not forgetting all the Aids that can help us all there is no revenue coming in.

  Just look at the monthly earning winners...Compared to a few years back,  they are getting thousand of dollars in wins and that's redonkilus....lol... Basically they don't spend a single dime in the game.  So to make up that lost revenue, they have to bring in new clubs and golf balls that are overpriced...  even from low levels.

  I think the biggest problem Wgt started was to have the High Roller comps,  within a CC it's pretty easy to raffle a winner each week to win a huge sum of credits.

  This game is free, but is impossible to get good at with starter clubs.

  I have no idea how to fix the problem.  Well I do, but that's another story.....lol

  I don't think you get it, I, me I don't care if they make money off of them, I get free stuff, I hope they make enough money to pay all the bills and make a fortune...it's called getting what you deserve for your effort, been there!

  Are you now, or have you ever programmed anything?

  Yes actually, DirecTV hacks for 13 yrs...with a lot of help, but I get it.

  I stand by my statement. There are fundamental problems here that would be very easy to fix. 

  But you did say you knew nothing about flash?

  I'm not trying to argue with you, just saying whatever happens on this game isn't very high on my list of sh!t to worry about, I watch the news everyday, I know when I have it good compared to some!

  This is my opinion, yours may be different and I don't care if it is, doesn't bother me either, but your opinion won't change mine...

   

  Picture this, we all come to play and the site is down, down for 1 day with no notice!

  When it comes back online there is a WGT message saying , "We got tired of all the bashing so we decided to teach you guys a lesson and shut down"....next time someone posted one of these threads it would be 50 pages & 500 people would be all over his butt...

  Like I said, if I feel like I am being taken advantage of, I'll quit that day, not whine about it forever but still play!

  Sometimes what bothers you most is not having to confront a sensitive subject, but to underestimate the issue by turning it into a joke. It is clear that there is something abnormal (regardless of whether there are bugs or issue game graphics), just look at the WGT monthly, annual and career leaderboards to understand that, based on what WGT offers, the circle of winners not never changes, once you're inside something mechanical will let you stay there inside. 

  Visible, tangible, daily, just looking at some RG leaderboards indeed, just look at the WGT Championship. There are Top Players in here that won over 35,000 dollars in prizes and do not know the difference between Java and Flash, and ask if it is convenient to have both installed. Even a donkey can fly, it sure can.

  I'm not sure greed and as every two weeks I'm going to charge my verified account with 40 bucks, no metter if I share this game with cheaters, multi-accounters and fenced balloons dudes, and screw me if I said that this three features are part of this (even) great game, certainly.

  I'm not a hypocrite.
