  Question for WGTPizza: Do you think 500,000 credits for a personalized avatar is a fair price? If you can't answer that, Do you at least know why players here feel they have been dealt a slap in the face.

  I will answer this, and any other question about the pricing of products on WGT:

  WGT has a marketing department that decides the cost of items in the pro shop. Based on feedback and sales, they adjust those prices.

  I don't have any personal opinions on whether or not items are "faily" priced, but I will tell you that I recognize a lot of players are unhappy with the prices of the items released in this update. That message will be conveyed to WGT.

   

  Stay classy,

  An update to refit the Elite Collection with items no 1 will purchase but easy to do I guess,however still no search bar for forum,Owners of CC,s email members option still not fixed and no setting of championship greens in CC tourneys or practice mode.I guess these things are harder to do so we have to wait.Methinks someone is going in the wrong direction.

  Hang in there Pizza. I seriously feel for you at the moment, though that doesn't change anything I (or anyone else) have said in this topic. Surely the general picture of this topic is clear. My question now is: Can we get some kind of official reaction from WGT management on this instead of some weird kind of act in which you are trying your best to take most of the beating in a friendly manner ? Let's propose they take a day or two to read and think things over and then come with an official response. We don't need this weird act that's going on right now.

  Thanks Rockitch, and yes I agree, don't let your sympathy for me change your opinion of the recent changes. WGT needs to hear your feedback.

  I am here to facilitate communication. There will be times when the message that needs to be communicated comes with an attachment of resentment toward WGT. Please just try to keep separate any ill will toward WGT from your opinion of the messenger.

  I will be sure to post once (if) I am given the explanation I requested.

  They started April Fools Day early this year.

  One thing for sure on the 3600 dollars to play one round of golf at listed courses, you can pay yourself for cheaper and play more rounds if you did your search right. Another 1000 dollars for short call to misterwgt is way too much. Avatar and Bag for just to see while you play for 3000 or 5000 dollars. Never in a normal persons mind would pay that. Who would even have earned that on the free credits page? I am sorry, be me thinks misterwgt was on vacation, when that decision was made for this upgrade.

  You would have to be mentally retarded or millionaire or billionaire to pay that kind of money for those. Even if I was the latter two, I still would not pay that. Not trying to be mean, but its obvious someone did not think this through.

  If if was my company, which it isn't, but still would make some changes in staff for making that kind of decision. Never heard of marketing make that kind of mistake, unless there is some kind of plan of ending the company or ruining it.

  That explains it so. Picture the scene:

  Marketing department: Chad, we have a lot of requests for some customisable avatars. The members are saying they would buy this no problem.

  Chad: Yeehaa, go get them boys. Bonuses for whoever comes up with the best pricing plan.

  I dont recall anyone on here asking for these insanely priced items. I would love to know where that notion came from.

  Its a good point by Rockitch. Lets just hope we can get some understanding as to the reasons. And Pizza, i hope you know this is not a deliberate attempt at having a go at you. We just want to know why, and you happen to be in the firing line. Thats gotta suck.

  You can count me out on this. Never will pay those prices in my life time.

  There was way more things on this site, that needed to be done that was way more important, then putting something on it that will hardly be bought.

  Gotta be out of your freaking minds.
