  Even If these guys are cheating, they cant be very good at cheating either because Its the same mortal players I see winning ready go's/tournaments anyway.  Waste of time & effort for something you can do yourself much better

  Excellent posting Ecka!  I'm with you all the way on everything you said.  I feel that if there are cheating programs (which I'm positive there are), the ones that would deny the existence of them the hardest would be the ones that are most likely to be using them.

  2DAMFLASHY - After I posted this, I looked at your stats, etc and from what I saw, I feel that I must sincerely apologize to you for what I said.  I would have to say that you are a very hones player and I should not have said what I did without checking out my facts first.  So again, I truly apologize for my remarks to you.

  I will also repeat that the reason that I posted this suggestion was because so many people were talking about it and I saw a way for them to eliminate the problem.

  Barbarella, your proof is in these posts.  I have seen at least on one occasion where WGT has accused one player of cheating just as we have been discussing on here.

  So you're accusing me then?

  I can understand how an auto-clicker might work for full shots but how can it work when you need to use 95% power for example? seems a lot of effort to go to for some worthless credits

  This is what I don't get about the whole 'cheating' thing. There is nothing to be gained by winning a bunch of credits, there is nothing to do with them besides buying more clubs and balls to continue cheating. The way the credits-to-cash exchange works (nonexistent), a player is literally just cheating to cheat. I guess I just don't see the motivation behind it...

  Hubris - ego - unquenchable desire to win regardless of how?

  I don't know the facts around some changes since my last stay, but I have noticed that the cost to go in Tier monthly's has dropped from 500 to 200 and "premium RG's" have gone from 2000, 1000, and 500 down to 300.  "Real" prizes have been dramatically curtailed.

  I can't help but think that maybe some part of these decisions was to try and remove some of the perhaps darker incentives to cheating.

  But I agree with you.  Nowadays it would seem simply a means of paying for "virtual" stuff without "paying", or, as I said at the start - ego and hubris.

  cool Rqueen 

  all good...  

  2 cents .. .. if ya just play for fun ... as i do ,,, there's no need to worry about if any one is cheeting in the tourney's.. 

  there.. is also a small group..and always will be...of what i call  ( Rigged theorist ,, ) or ones that think they are somehow cheet'd in some form or anuther ... EVERY DAY !! 

  Don't get suk'd in by these folks... 99% of them if you go look at their stats ... u will see they ...well.. ummm .. NEED to PRACTICE ... 

  to me ..and i consider myself just average also... it takes 1000 ROUNDS... just to be able to say ...hey, i think im start'n to get the hang of this.. .. some can do it in half that...and some it may take double that... 

  The KEY... find cool friends... that understand this game is hard... that dont bich,,, gripe,, and whine every hole,,,, and ..PLAY with the understanding... that every shot no matter what ... some how someway ..makes you a better player.. 

  ROCK ON....

  peace ... :)
