  Easy solution. 5% reduction per tier below Legend on all club distances except for putters. Reduces the r11s driver to 227 yards for a Pro. Lower tier players have to hit longer irons than top tier players to get the same distance. If clubs below level 10 were left alone, the pro driver would still be at 245 yards. Not many sandbaggers are going to gaming the system to buy shorter clubs. Others will still be buying all the clubs as they anticipate the 5% increase in distance every time they tier up.

  Works a lot closer to what it's like in real life. Lower skilled players can't hit the same clubs as far as skilled professionals. They can still buy and play the same clubs and use them from their normal tees, though.

  nice one , thats also another way ,

  there must be a way of stopping the sand baggers / bandits  lol

  There might be many that can play this game and tier up quickly to the top in short time, but come on. Not every single person plays that good. Good it through your skull. We are not robots and should not be treat as such or forced to tier up, because a certain amount of higher tiers complain and say so. WGT has said already they are not planning on changing it back to the tier way. I agree with one of the posters about the forums being boring. Someone quoted him saying don't read the forums. 

  Well, I will just say "don't be boring". A lot easier to be nicer to one another if you were that way in the first place. Most of the threads on the forums are just repeats of what has already been said. There are rarely any new topics anymore except from WGT only. I am for one rather enjoy the game by relaxing and playing the game as it flows, and not be force to rush through tiers in a very short time, like the OP acts like we should be doing. Just because you did and others on here did, does not mean every single person that joins this site has too.

  If you go to a car dealership and the dealer says buy this car, are you going to buy it just cause he says so? Same thing here. Just because you say so does not mean it has to be.

  Well aren't you a barrel of fun today..Just because ppl tier up quickly,they are not 'forced' to.They ENJOY the game & find it RELAXING..The consequence of that is climbing the ladder quicker ? One suggetion if you find forums boring,don't post..that'll be a start ..(can't stand ppl moaning about forums/content or perceived lack of, then posting & even starting own threads)Don't use it or read them & you don't ever have to be bored again? Seems a simple solution...Andy

   Jadlong:

   

  We need a topic in forum for whiners and cryers. I`v` been here a little over a year, and these forums are becoming boring.

   

  Then don't read em or post

   

   That was me who posted this.

  I'm not someone who comes on here and slags people off, but this post was in a minority within the thread, and if Jadlong thinks these threads are boring then he should stay away from them....I never said don't read the forums, I said don't read the threads.

  On your post......I agree that not everyone is as good as each other, and some take longer to level and tier up, but to get to L90 takes either a very long time ( I have played on here pretty much every day since I joined in Jan this year and I'm still only at L85 )......or a lot of boost bars and xp drinks. And to make the xp drinks most effective you have to play as much as possible within the 24hrs they are active.

  If you look at the majority of these high level low tier players, they have averages above par and avoid ranked rounds like the plague. They play AS, and blitz the hell out of the game.......WHY?..........To avoid tiering up, that's why.

  And if you look at their stats, every now and then a ranked round pops up......and it's pretty much always in the 20's or low 30's.......This is not the score of someone who has an average of above par.....It's the score of someone keeping their tier down so they can play from shorter tees with top equipment, a wolf in sheeps clothing......A Legend playing from Pro tees!!

  I wouldn't mind so much....but the majority of them play skins and scam other unsuspecting low tier player out of their credits, or they enter the tourney's and RG's against genuine Pro's and take all the prizes.

  WGT don't give a toss, cos they glean all the cash from the boost bars and XP drinks!

  But this topic has credence because there are a lot of players who play the way WGT pretend is the right way, and are getting screwed over by not being allowed access to the equipment.

  Then that's playing a LOT of games on here.

  I bought 1 boost bar ages ago to get me up one level so I could get some clubs.......I forget which, but other than that I have bought none.

  An easy solution to my actual thread would be to make a 270yd Driver available to all Master Tier players when they Tier up . Master seems to be the only Tier Level with no newly available Drivers .

  Lets face it , who would want to play off Master Tees with a 255yd Driver  lol

  That I believe is the  crux of it all , we all hate sand baggers and  bandits , they do the game no justice , yet they are the ones who always  prosper .

  But again , going back to the sand baggers / bandits , in real golf every golf club hates them , every golf member hates them , and most are booted from all h/c Competitions and Tournaments .

  But that doesnt happen here , WGT allow this to go on and condone cheating , because as we all know , ALL sand baggers and bandits are CHEATS and WGT let it go on unpunished .

  I cannot believe that in this day and age cheating is allowed to go unpunished and until WGT sort this problem out , this topic and topics like it will always be being raised , because .....

  NOBODY WANTS SAND BAGGERS OR BANDITS PLAYING THIS GAME !
