    Why does WGT have no record of me playing skins that I won. I won 840 credits in skins and nobody is helping me, hence i havnt really played much because of this. I think I am done when my credits run out, this game used to be so nice to play couple times a week, now it is a headache. Just not worth it anymore sorry to say. I will even take 840 credits worth of balls, just as long as you acknowledge my problem and dont just giove me that answer of no record of game beig played. thought you guys were better than that. Thanks

    When i was at any other level other than legend, and i would miss the ding, i would only come up a few yards short. Now at Legend, if i miss the ding (even by the slightest margin), i can be punished by anything up to 20-30 yards short of the hole. So the question(s) is=

    1: Is this kind of thing only specific to Legend tier, and does it actually happen to every other Legend? Reason i want to know is because it happens almost every time i miss hit a shot, and by the slightest of margins too. 

    2: When are you going to stock tin foil hats in the pro shop, as ive a feeling im going to be told to buy 1 after this post, lol.

    No I think this was play time for MisterWGT, the swing meter is OLD as is the player stats bar and the ball lie.

    Crikey driving down that street ... would the ball ever stop?

    1. I cant play high winds cause im a ding player and if i ding in wind even after moving marker way to one side, then DING, it is as if i did not move marker, will this be sorted or even acknowledged?

    2. I would also like to see on peoples wall, who they send gifts to, instead of just showing what they sent. Useful, interesting and could slightly limit multi accounts, or make them more expensive.

    3. levels stop once you make legend. and limiting certain equipment to be just for legends. incentive to become one, would be nice.

    4.some comment or thoughts at least about how to tackle the bagging and multis from WGT (i know a problem always spoke of here, but it is still one thing WGT never address, though the staff post in ludicrous other threads, never on bagging) and thoughts or what they did in regard to the wgtcongress winners.

    5. more avatars or build your own avatar feature

    6. improved support, WGT email support is amazingly slow or non responsive. In the forums they introduced new mods, but its farcical, they post an odd witty reply in an irrelevant thread, but rarely help or comment on the real issues.

    7. what will happen with equipment? already in the space of a year scores have come down by 5-10 strokes because of improved equipment. how is there any longevity in this? will it be 8-9 eagles soon to win, instead of birdies? 

    n.b. on the bagging issue i would also like to know why WGT stops deletes and even bans players who discuss multis and bagging, it seems a very taboo subject. but if this is a community game and only improved by the community surely this is one of the most relevant things on the entire game.

    I liked your 2nd point Rosie, but then it got me thinking. In our CC, we have donations to keep our website going, and out of those donations, we use any extra funds to go back into a pot for prizes. We have 1 person who who looks after that end of things, and this person could be accused of having multi accounts for dishing out prizes to our members. I dont know if thats the way to sort that 1 out, cheers.

    a very fair comment and i often gift because in my cc we do similar thing and i make quite a few bets on games. 

    but my thinking was as this is a community game, we would know some players reasons etc and they can be defended but its the people who have no obvious reason and the players they gift to are newish low avg players winning things....the community could shun these players. i,e some top legend players are gifting low level top clubs, boosts and balls....one player is not in a CC and never plays with randoms, or offers in forum, or has any thank yo notes.....who do these clubs go to? where did they meet?

    these things could be legit, but i would like to see who they send to at least. its seems to me, in regard to one player infact gifting equipment to 2 players who also won lower tier wgtcongress prizes amazingly coincidental........of all the millions of players he happened to gift them and they happened to be natural amazing players. could be legit but never the less very coincidental.

    Tresclub:

    "open up all clubs to everyone,and have base length regulated by tier"

    What a great suggestion!  Maybe even something like this:

    Percent of club distance

    Legends = 100%
    Tour Master = 96%
    Master = 92%
    Tour Pro = 88%
    Pro = 84%
    Amateur = 80%
    Hack = 76%

    Wgt won't go for that all you have to do is buy the top gear straight away and just wait to tier up.

    all you ever have to buy is one set of clubs, think of the money WGT would lose. i think i have bought 4 sets of clubs over the years. you are talking big bucks if everyone had done that.

    Gear needs to be tied to tiers
