    Hi all .. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed .... but I'm just curious.   (And I don't want this to sound like i'm sticking up for WGT's lack of responsiveness)....

    Is this just  51 pages of notes which when you boil it down ... is to discuss the high price of Custom Avatars and no more high priced gift cards (which they told us about weeks ago).    Am I missing something ?

    What wgt said they were ditching the gift cards weeks ago? I had not heard that.

    Yep .. just look at the thread right ahead of this one.   It was only 7 pages long ... guess not too many people read it.

    May as well just remove the elite collection."

     

    Best reply and sum up i've seen. 

    My necks sore from shaking my head back & fourth.

    The more I read the more I am in disbelief.

    Ya think that's how WGT wanted it?  A news story and/or an e-mail announcement would have got a wider audience, but neither option was done.  Just a post in the forums that gets buried by all the other threads.

    hi Lou....i think there were hopes by a lot of people that they would not drop the gift cards...thats probably why we see a lot of upset people.

    Not to mention if you look at this update....does it not really seem like a complete wasted effort. This time and money could have gone to something exciting for the game. The elite collection is a complete joke and should be removed alltogether.

    If they communicated what was going to be in the update before they realease it and let people know how much things might cost...we would have told them overwhelmingly that it was a horrible idea and not to bother.

    I am just frustrated more than anything that they dont communicate with us very well. I enjoy this game,but i find when they do updates to grow the game some they quite often miss the target entirely.

    They miss OUR targets entirely.   WGT is not aiming at our targets, they have their own target$.

    Yep, we all know they are just interested in making the cash till ring. But to come up with an avatar for $5000 bucks, while all those problems still exist in the game is just plain wrong.

    I just played St Andrews 17th hole with a direct tailwind of 8mph behind me. The hole was 193 yards away.  I used my 200 yard club, and choked down the smallest of margins for the shot. I used backspin, and i dinged the shot. Any guesses as to what the result was??? Yes, i manually selected the shot myself, and double selected it, just to make sure. So why does the ball land at 174 yards?? BTW, i was on a hot round, sound familiar?

    Its this type of crap that infuriates folks, but WGT are more interested in the dollars, than fixing this bull.
