  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.

  No offense taken! Yes, I am charged with the task of conveying messages from the community, even when the message is "Eff you, WGT". It's alright, don't worry about WGTpizza. Just keep the feedback coming :)

   

  Stay classy,

  You would have to be mentally retarded or millionaire or billionaire to pay that kind of money for those. 

  Millionaire's and billionaire's didn't get that way from foolish expenditures like these ;) 

  just sayin

  And yet you're sent out to defend them. Perhaps you could ask the marketing department or Chad if they could explain the rationale behind their new strategy.

  Yes, if rationale is the right word. More to the point, perhaps to ask them (as a joke, if nothing else, you know, keep it light) why they might think even for one nano-second that one of us, a single ONE of us, is actually going to spend One Thousand Dollars to talk on the phone to somebody, ANYbody! And I'm not going anywhere near the Five Thousand Dollar price tag for a virtual golf bag and new hat. Best to stay calm.

  That is not the point. Guess, since you don't understand that smart people just don't throw money away for childish decisions like that. At any cost.

  Even if I had a million plus credits, I would sell my screen name and password on ebay, before purchasing any of those in the elite collection. Should not even be called elite.

  Just out of curiosity, are the new line of imaginary Max clubs (irons, putters, and now wedges) being introduced because wgt has lost its contracts to reproduce real clubs?

  No. they brought the new Rocket Bladez irons the last update, And I believe they brought out the G20's after they had brought out some of the max line.

  Nope, Bladez were the only ones new since the max line started.

  This seems to be the common thought that players are holding on to, as a main reason for their feelings of hatred toward the recent update.

  No one expects you to deposit money to buy these things, just like no one expected you to deposit money to purchase the Maserati.

  This is how I look at it - we didn't open a new STORE for you to buy directly from, we added to our PRIZE SELECTION for you to spend your winnings on. I recommend that you purchase these new items with credits you accumulate from winning credits, as buying them right out would be far too costly.

  And how many win these so called credits from tournaments? I won't be one, because I don't like playing to try get credits, when I know in first place I will lose more than I win anyways. Even if you do win a lot it still takes an enormous mount of time to get that many credits. This is not Las Vegas.

  alcaucin:

  Once again, sorry to interrupt your breakfast by "Oh, I'll read all the thread then" ..but it is what you are paid to do is it not ?

  Here you are, misquoting me AGAIN, Alcaucin.

  Please edit your post, or it will be moderated.

  I read the thread thoroughly before posting my first post. I then asked for questions, as I did not see many and also they were buried a few pages deep, so to promote clarity I asked for people to present questions, now that they know WGTpizza was here to field questions.

  Continued attacks on me or WGT staff members will only dilute the information contained in this thread. Please stop. This thread has nothing to do with WGTpizza, or what he is "paid to do." If you want to talk about that, by all means do so, in a different thread.

  I went through and answered all the questions I could find, but as you can see there were only a few. I am still open to answering questions anyone has regarding this situation, so feel free to post them.

   

  Stay classy,

  I think Phiber was actually agreeing with you.

   

  My question is, and I know you probably don't have the answer right now, but why would they do this? There is so much else that can be done to fix the site problems, to make the game a better experience, to give the members something they can actually use and enjoy using, even willingly pay for, but instead they wasted development time and resources coming up with a product no one could possibly afford, or would want to.

  Yes, we asked for customizable avatars, but their answer was a slap in the face.

  Looks like WGTPizza is only looking for what he wants to answer, and not what should be answered. So for anyone that can't stand the fact it was a stupid thing in first place will be ignored by WGTPizza. So what is the point of even saying anything, when you won't get anything from the posting anyways. Looks like they are expecting us to fall for it instead.
