Re: Clubs & Balls - Allow Purchase of Higher Level but Kept in Inventory as "Unavailable Until Proper Level Reached"

  Please allow the purchasing of higher level clubs & balls regardless of the golfer's level.  Merely keep the club or balls inactive in the player's inventory until the player reaches the required level for the specific club.  WGT's club sales would definitely rise and all of us could purchase whatever clubs we wanted for "future use".  This would then make Limited Edition clubs available to everyone.

  How difficult could that programming be?

  Wrong question. Ask, how much would they lose in grinding balls?

  Your suggestion kind of dilutes the concept of a "Limited Edition" doesn't it?

  Apex,
  
  Limited Edition merely means the clubs are available for a very short time.  Why shouldn't everyone be able to purchase them regardless of level.  WGT just doesn't want you to use them until you reach a certain level.  "Limited" being used in your context is not what I'm talking about here.
  
  I'm trying to discuss any club purchase.  If I want to fork over the 4995 Credits for a Level 101+ Driver even though I'm only a level 90 then why shouldn't I be able to do so?  The club will be in my inventory for 2 years while I battle to reach that level.  I just couldn't place it in my bag for play until then.
  
  I bet this option becomes available in a future release.  WGT can only benefit from doing so.

  Limited Edition can mean many things.

  Like having a limited number of the item in stock or being made. Or. Only allowing a select group of people access to an item.

  All of the Limited Edition fine art photographs I used to sell were produced in a very limited number.

  Customers wanting to buy digital files of photographs i had made for them had to meet a minimum purchase $$$ amount before they qualified to buy digital files or my photographs.
