jviewbank:YOU seem tobe affenended by it all
Sorry it takes a lot more to offend me, I am actually pretty thick skinned lol.
As I inferred, if WGT were to give you more hits per ball, it effectively reduces the price, so as Alosso said, the price would go up to counter this. Every company ideally has a strategic approach to their pricing to have maximum return and this is what WGT do, like it or not. As I said it is a business, ie to make money. The only downside (not for WGT but the users) is there is no viable competition, hence there is no market mechanism to regulate pricing according to supply and demand (an essential factor in a free market economy).
If you find the Max balls too expensive for the time they last I have a suggestion.
Do not use them for blitz or CTTH etc, save them for ranked rounds only and use the rock for other formats. Yes the speed is fast, but it is also a good practice technique and then using pretty much any other ball the meter will seem slower.The Max ball may even be too slow after doing this. For the record I think Max balls are overpriced as the only attribute you really get is the slow meter speed - spin etc are poor (uh oh, I will get Andy going now).
And rest assured I have no intention of getting into Politics, I say what I think and believe in and do not like backroom deals.
As for free balls from WGT, I wish. All I was trying to do was explain how a business works. I play this game purely for fun, I don't gamble credits and pay for the pleasure - I actually think it is pretty good value for the enjoyment I derive. Yes MM we have to play soon - sadly my work schedule is rather obscene at the moment - roll on Christmas and I will relax!
To coin a term that perhaps Johnny knows - you have to make hay when the sun shines.
