tibbets:Also, giving too many options to create a game is problematic.
That is irrelevant for what we are discussing here. By all means switch the default to 60 seconds, but give every game host the freedom to choose 30 / 45 / 90 seconds / no timer instead. There is no confusion arising out of this, because everyone can simply ignore these additional options. While dictatorship and forcing one's own preferences onto everyone else, always is problematic and results in user complaints.
eternalspirit: there is nothing worse, when you are in a multiplayer game and the person you're playing with takes nearly 90 seconds to play an approach shot, and it results in being a terrible shot.
That is perfectly legitimate. That's life. There are things far worse than that: all those quitters sabotaging the random multi-player rounds on this site. And to attempt to justify the quitters by saying they quit because their opponents take too long to play their shots, is ludicrous; we know full well that the crushing majority of quitters quit because of their own bad shots and rounds, and not because of what other players do or don't do. If you're too rushed to give everyone the legitimate time to play their shots, just play on your own instead, and don't join any multi-player rounds. Very simple!
(But even better: select a 30-second shot timer after WGT gives us this option, and then you can play only with folks who enjoy playing in a hurried and stressed atmosphere, just like you do. To each their own: that's the highroad to customer satisfaction.)
