Actually I wasn't expressing doubt, I was passively calling you a liar.
First you say yeah, I'd pay 5000 credits for a custom avatar. ($50)
Then it's pointed out it's actually 500,000 credits.($5000)
Then you say, yeah, I'd pay 100 times more than I orginally said I would, without batting an eye.
50 bucks for a custom avatar...I can see that. Maybe after a good week, I would too.
But 5000 bucks. $5,000.00. For an avatar.
An Avatar.
No, you wouldn't. No one would.
But let's say for example that you TRULY would. That's a big message. A message that says winnings are worthless. A message that says the people running and working for WGT have zero relation to the people who play wgt.
The frustration in thread is maybe 10% about the price of the new avatar, bag, and phone call. But 90% of the frustration is coming from knowing that wgt is running their own agenda and ideas Without trying to improve the game itself. Country Club requests and ideas a shot down weekly. Even the putting green idea that gets brought up every few days for years gets ignored. (just address it and say why you can't do it, and put it in a skicky for christ's sake). People have asked for this and that and the other thing, want to see some more minor options, but then they get - this.
Which in turn leads to 90% of my frustration. That perhaps this game won't be around in a year or two. The customer satisfaction rate has got to be pretty low. Perhaps you could put a team on that.
Im fully aware that there are suggestions that just cannot be implemented. I know there's a "road map" wgt has that they want to follow. It's apparent, loud and clear, that the ideal "customer road map" and the "the road map" of wgt are going in opposite directions. I'm not saying WGT needs to change their course, I'm not that bold and I'm not pretending to be a know it all. I'm sure there's a plan somewhere in there. But it could be a benefit to slow down and maybe take a slight detour on that road map to let the players catch up and get on the same road.
I don't want to be one of the people who get fed up and leave. I have a cool country club with lots of cool people, and plan to have it for a while. I buy lots of Nike balls, I give away lots of Nike balls. Outside of that, I pay for my little club website and domain. I have fun shooting low scores, and just a tad less fun shooting high scores, but still have fun. I have fun making deposits here and there, which is actually more than I pay for directv. I'm sort of involved in the game, if not invested.
I feel like the reasons to stay outweigh the reasons to leave, but sometimes reading these things put me on tilt. Don't take it as an attack on you, pizza, or on wgt... but dammit, it's frustrating at times.
