  But why worry about it? It's not like this playing is cleaning up with the gift cards. So he makes tons of credits what is he going to do with them? Spend $5000 to buy a custom avatar or spend $1000 to call Chad? As the Elite collection is at this time the mutlis who make tons of credits have nothing much to spend them on. And the Multi accounters may be the real reason they ditched the gift cards.

  But they are credits that should belong to other people. Ones that fought hard for them and may be unable put any money into the game.

  This person is taking credits off players who have paid out real money

  For the victims of such robbery the spendings of the raiders are of no importance.

  There is no grey area here. It is the difference between right and wrong, plain and simple.

  WGT knows that its wrong and they have the ability to stop it, SO DO IT!

  They dont want to, why do you think all these MAX clubs/balls are available at a low level.

  WGT "yes, you can open a multy account and cheat every one, but you will have to pay MORE for the privelage"

  Who are the Multy's actually cheating???  US, honest players, but would Chad sitting in his boardroom looking at new club sales actually care what honest players think??  No, he probably just sees nice juicy sales repeating themselves, and he knows that same multy will just open new account AND DO IT AGAIN...WIN WIN, cachiiing,,,cachiiing (sorry till sound..lol)  Yes tour legends might buy balls, but we dont get new clubs as often to actually make a difference sale wise, but multy accounters starting over & over would.  A sad state of affairs but the floodgates are wide open, and WGT have thrown the key to close them in the lake.

  As for this mentioned Multy, when people get as brasen as this and post a round of 6 under on their first ever round the day they joined we know the SYSTEM IS BROKE.

  WOuld it be so difficult for you to e-mail a copy of PROPER ID card, drivers licence etc etc when you join and create a new account?????

  Guns are legal in US right?  I'll come over and shoot them all for you if it helps

  Where I come from cheaters get caught and totally embarrassed, thieves usually get shot, and the shooter goes free for self defense, no questions asked. Back in 1975 I had a one year remote vacation (compliments of Uncle Sam) in a country where, if you got caught stealing, you had your right hand cut off. Seems fair to me.

  I hear what you're saying chris.. wgt does not care about cheats/multi's as long as they can keep cashing their checks..

  As for your offer to shoot them all, i say its a good idea.. They don't deserve to die but maybe you should shoot them in their clicking finger to send a message..

  i think if you look at brians original post what he is talking about is if this guy brings in like 10K credits of which lets say 5000 of them are avaialble after he gifts to his other accounts etc.  If he sells those 5000 credits at, lets say, a 50% discount, using blitz and skins challenges to transfer the credits. Then you have for every 100 credits you pay 50 cents so this guy could sell those 5000 credits for around 250 bucks and that is certainly something that should raise the eyebrows of WGT. That is the part that is cause for concern from everyone.

  Basically this guy has created his own gift card system

  edit: granted these are simple numbers but you get the idea

  The problem is that he takes the fairness out of the game. I pay 200 creds to do a ready to go. I think that I am playing other masters using the same tees and vf greens. I post a good score that might place high only to find out that a ringer using top equipment and a lot of experience has taken away ANY chance that I had of coming ing first. He got the better equipment through level up boosts paid for from all of the skins games he played the first few days he was a member (on this name). Yes there is little that he can do with MY creds today but they were my creds that I gave him unfaily. It has to be an ego thing for him and he is most likely a sociopath. Any time someone like this is dicovered he should immediately be made Tour Legend no matter what his current tier and level are. Put him where he belongs rather than in the pasture with us sheep.
