Re: Last ball - buy now?

  Lately this prompt is coming up even though I have plenty of balls left.

  Got it again today, and remembered I bought balls yesterday. Checked inventory and found 12 balls there of the type I played with.
  This means WGT have fooled me with that message many times lately.

  Is this a new trick to sell balls we dont need?

  Doesn't it say, "Last shot on (this) ball"?

  Agreed, it's nonsensical if not on the last ball, but it takes two to fool one.

  It's an alleged fault in the programming of a new, dispensable feature which has been added to the old "last ball" warning which was and is working perfectly.

  Trick or flaw - it adds to ball sales.

  Nope, had the same thing happen to me.  Damn well conned me into a couple of sleeves of L71 Nikes.  When I got back to the lobby I found I had 12 balls now.  Just another bloody con.  :(

  Here is the message:

  THIS IS YOUR LAST BALL OF THIS TYPE
  Buy the same sleeve of balls for 64 credits
                             BUY NOW

  (The message doesnt show my pic of the screen so I typed it instead)

  

   

  ...and I still have 11 left.

  What is even more annoying is that when it really is my last ball, then I don't get that message.

  Again! -4 after 4 holes at Merion and suddenly, without a warning, I play with the wooden default ball! So many stupid bugs that just appears and then linger in this game.

  I don't think I have ever seen any last ball warning or low warning since they played with a perfectly good system a short while ago.  These days I just check my inventory though in all honesty, any warning facility just died here........Are they fixing the green dots again (panoramic here same as mobile)?  Please try and be careful and test WGT if you do as confidence is not high you will understand, and I do enjoy the game:)

  Many of the recent bugs seem to be the result of one of their programmers not understanding boolean algebra

  BUG?????/  I think not......just a poorly disguised attempt at fleecing us for more dollars is what I see.  The courts would deem it as "procuring money under false pretenses"  Hmmm..that might just be worth while following up fellow golfers.
