Wow, I like the "subject matter experts" who have no clue.
Gold actually was one of the first to propose a new tier, with tougher challenges.
No one was "complaining" that they'd leave...lmao...find the masses who said that...if another Tier was not created.
Maybe some, such as Gold, want to compete at a higher level now, not in 100 ranked rounds.
We'll all get there...and BTW...many of us did it with G10's and WGT balls...lol...at levels below current Masters with superior gear/balls.
ALL (of those who stayed) promoted Legends in 2010 got to where they at at without Burners, TM, R11's, Cally and Nike Balls, etc..show'em some respect for the way they played the game, or better yet, just keep the negatives out of the comments.
I guess we accepted that challenge and succeeded without handouts.
