clearly the elite collection impacts players who are here for money or something of real value.
clearly wgt needs to make money.
all i want is a new course once in a while and to continue having a good time with other players.
I can count on one hand how many matches I've had with top 100 elites in this game.
guess all i'm saying is this is a game, not a job, not a cash cow .......for me. If it is/was for you then this hurts a bit.
I can't fault wgt for tracking their income trends and trying to maintain a level that will sustain this game for years to come and keep it coming up with courses.
sorry if you guys can't get your gift cards. but you can still win trips of a life time if you want to bother with that.
I gave away more than I've ever spent on myself so wgt doesn't need me around. Funny thing is.......I want to be here, I dig this game. If it were about credits or money i'd have been gone the day I arrived.
If anyone really cared about the future of wgt and how much fun they can have playing it, then they'd also care about their success. But, it's a "me" world out there..........even a game can't escape that reality. sadly
it appears wgt is trying to remain viable for years to come. Is this latest update a success in that effort? who knows.......it doesn't sound like it based on readings here, but they are trying. For me, that is encouraging.
new courses makes longevity......that's the core. the peripherals - clubs/balls/etc....that helps keep us here too but clearly not critical to our enjoyment the basic game.
i dont' mean to offend anyone. It's just clear that wgt will only exist if it operates from a surplus and so it seems are many of it's players. I'm all for the former ......and the latter will perhaps have to evaluate why they 'play' in the first place.
all i ever really wanted was a nifty wgt coffee mug any how. maybe the next update will have something for me :)
to be honest, the only time i ever looked at the elite section was by accidentally clicking it or to see what all the fuss was about after reading here. nothing was ever attainable in my world. there's no point to this comment other than, again, it doesn't keep me from having fun playing wgt knowing I can't ever win enough to convert credits for the stuff in there.
p.s. - i sure hope i didn't upset anyone with this. just my point of view. everyone on my friends list is Elite in my book.
