11 pages of comments in 2 days? I wasn't expecting the frenzy it has turned into.
Based on what has been mentioned - a few things I will mention:
People can post whatever they like, some people have outlined how they would like entire clubs sets as well as multiple sleeves of balls and how I should donate all my credits to them despite the fact I have never even played with them. Others have said they want nothing and everything in between.
I have not as yet given anything away and at the end of the day I will choose. I have not thought about how to give them away but it wouldn't all be to the same person. There is no need to argue about what people have posted or requested.
The reason I have not given anything away yet is because I don't want to give them all away and then regret doing so. It's also likely people on my friend list will get priority. I am also supposed to get an additional 5k credits from WGT but as yet have not got them. It's probably just another bullsh*t broken offer but I want to see whether I get them or not.
I still think at some point I will give them away but please don't waste endless time posting your requests and then be disappointed if you don't get what you asked for. I would need 100,000 credits to give everybody what they asked for.
Some people have also given reasons why I should buy them things. As far as I know none of you work for nothing in an orphanage. I appreciate that some of your are broke but it's unlikely to influence my decision. I also don't want sympathy.
I have received a dozen friend requests and a lot of wall posts. Please don't send friend requests - they will be rejected.
A lot of speculation as to why I am leaving. The bottom is line is I am not enjoying the game. WGT Pizza sent a message asking, I will post below the message I sent (with a few spelling corrections). You may or may not agree with what I have said but you will see there are a number of reasons.
----------------------
I'll list a few reasons. Some aren't really the fault of WGT but are still factors.
1) I lost count of how many free "offers" I did and never got credits. I also paid £ 10 to join WH Vegas. Where are my credits? Who am I emailng when I request support - they sure as hell aren't sorting it out... I don't feel I get any sort of service across the board.
2) I got kicked up to Legend. It's not fun when you can't even make the fairway from the Tee with a headwind. Sometimes there is nothing I can do. Same story when I made master. I got penalized because I didn't take months to get up the tiers. I am not going to play for another 3months so I can eventually get the clubs I need to compete. 9/10 legends are 90+ and have most of the best gear in the game. This has made the game less enjoyable and have much less motivation to play.
3) The servers are bugged. I don't think I have ever got through a 9 hole game without someone getting disconnected. Sometimes it happens a dozen times.
4) The game is flawed. It's Flash. Flash is easy to hack. Do you think the top players are fair? I don't. People cheat on other flash games playing for nothing - so do you think they won't when they are playing for holidays? I saw a youtube video or people using hacks to ensure they hit the ding every time. It makes me wonder what the point of playing fair is or playing at all if people can cheat.
5) The Ready-gos are boring. They are always the same ones. Maybe give a higher purse if you can't fill them - they are all credit sinks anyway.
6) The prizes for free tournaments are too low. I doubt you could even cover the cost of the balls you were using even if you were to win.
7) I have to pay additional credits to play some courses such as Whistler. I would like to see more courses.
8) The premium section prizes are extremely poor... not that I am good enough to get that many credits.
9) Earning free credits was nerfed - videos particularly. I don't feel like spending money when I am not enjoying the game.
10) Aspects of the game play I still find frustrating. No 2 shots are ever the same. Chipping, pitching and flopping is all over the place. Half the time I get very close, half the time I am nowhere near. Much as I try I can't even seem to get any consistency with these types of shot.
11) Personal issues. I don't have as much time to play the game as I once did.
12) Frustration. Sometimes every putt misses by inches. Meter jumping and lag also makes for frustrating and annoying game-play.
13) I got a browser error when I tried to send this message. I often get browser errors when viewing pages on WGT especially with IE.
14) I find it annoying that some gear in the Pro Shop seems to have wrong stats. My R11 Irons didn't seem to be any more forgiving than my G20 irons despite that fact they supposed are a whole notch better. If I spend credits I actually want to know what I will get when buying.
The biggest issues for me are #1, #2 and #4
I appreciate WGT need to make a profit and some reasons I have listed are in conflict to that.
I think that could be done in more creative ways and if the level or service was better I would feel like I was getting value. I paid £9 a month for World of Warcraft and didn't think twice about it because I got a decent level of service.
I feel guilty spending real money on WGT because I don't get service and feel my enjoyment of the game has constantly been killed for no reason other than WGT's agenda.
I haven't given credits away yet, but I am serious. I don't want to give them all away and end up regretting it. I would be interested in your take on some of the points I outlined.
