tee off position for titles

  Your decision for determening tee off position by title is unfair. Position should be determined by level because:

  During match or skins games for credits an oponent who is higher level has the ability to buy clubs which hit further away even tho hes title is lower and because of the lower title he has a closer tee off position than someone who is lower level but has for example master title.

  This way you are making people intentionaly avoid higher titles so they have a 40y advantage during credits play.

  This must be fixed by determening tee off position by level or if you dont want to fix it then at least warn people not to play credits games untill they can buy max distance clubs at about level 90. 

  I am warning all players to not play stroke for higher titles until this is fixed.

  The way it is now a player can get to lvl 90 and get the best clubs possible while staying at the lowest title so he has an unbelivable advantage over anyone who got a higher title which is something that some players are doing at the moment and just make a room and wait for a victim. 

  Seriously every game must have some balance and this system provides no balance to the game what-so-ever.

  Hope to hear from someone from the development team soon on this issue.

  The entire game is turning into CRAP anymore from not paying out skins correctly to this flaw that they dont care about because they are making money on. Notice I havnt played much at all lately and I aint missing it as much as I thought either. WGT = THIEVES

  Maki. Instead of finger pointing and crying about fixing a make believe problem. Choose not to play " LOWER" titled players.  This will allow WGT to focus on real problems not fictitious ones.  It sucks to be beaten by a lower ranked player!   Get over it.

  From this post by WGT: http://www.wgt.com/forums/t/114555.aspx

  Level 70+ Equipment - A small number of players at lower tiers (Hack/Amateur) have leveled up very quickly and are purchasing top equipment, but are still playing from the shorter Hack/Amateur tee boxes, making those games and tournaments a little unfair. To avoid this from happening in the future, all equipment Level 70 or higher will require a Pro or higher tier to unlock. Existing equipment and players will not be affected.

  Yes but then i have to get into like 50 rooms untill i find someone to play with. instead of playing the game it comes down to getting in and out of rooms.

  Good to see something is being done but really this is quite pointless. It just complicates things. Whouldnt it be easier to set the tee position acording to level and problem is solved as well as all hacks and exploits.

  Makijato, the point to my earlier comment is. You yourself can AVOID playing lower ranked players. SET UP YOUR OWN GAME. Select the minimum  opponent LEVEL, Hack, Amateur, Pro, Tour Pro, Master, Tour Master or Legend. Then you have NO EXCUSE to complain about lower ranked players. Playing against you!   GET IT?  GOT IT?  GOOOOOD!

  MATCHPLAY

  VS. Hack                5-2

  VS. Amateur          1-1

  VS. Pro                    4-4

  VS.  T Pro                1-4

  VS Master                1-1

  I guess the real issue, Makijato, is that you don't understand how it works.

  Your "LEVEL" is determined by the XP points you earn by playing.

  Your "TIER" is determined by how many ranked rounds you play and your AVG.

  As your game improves your AVG will drop and you will advance a "TIER" 

  As you move up in "TIERS" your tee box will move farther from the hole to provide you with a more challenging  game.

  SO if you don't want to be taken advantage of by "SANDBAGGERS" you need to follow RJs advice that you called meaningless........

  But what it REALLY sounds like to me is that you thought you would take advantage of a lower "TIERED" player and got taken to the cleaners instead. 

  if so then "SOUR GRAPES" is all you got left. so stop whining and suck it up.
