Let's just say everybody gifted their clubs down. How would this game get paid for?

All of the ads that they sell? All of the balls that they sell? Not to mention the balls that they sell to us that are wasted when we can't finish games because of a 6 month old glich that they can't find a solution to.

It has been answered before. Gifting old clubs to other players would create the ability for multi accounters to get better clubs quicker and easier. It would also create an unfair advantage for some lower leveled players. Imagine a hack level 10 player with Master level 70 equipment. The policy of gifting old clubs won't be changing.

So does that mean that as a level 93 I can buy and gift equipment to a level 10 player that he can't buy himself?

No.

I think balls are possible. Seen few L20ish players playing with Nike balls.

I'd also presume the gift would not go through, if the player already has that piece of equipment.

More than likely they received them on a promotion. "buy so many credits and get a free sleeve" type deal.

Nope, just had a buddy receive a notebook as a gift but had already got one as a gift from someone else just days before hand.

And...

I remember when I first started playing and bought a driver. Then decided to buy the entire set driver/3wd and irons with some wedges. Thought I'd have a second driver and then be able to sell one, NOPE, guess I learned my lesson to sell the driver first lol. Had I known about the forums then, or even how to contact WGT I would have probably received some refund or some form of compensation for it. I wrote it off as a lesson learned and feel that over the years WGT has made it up to me with the various sleeves and finally giving me the yellow callaway. ;-)

They probably got them free from WGT during a promotion. Once they are gone they won't be able to use them until they reach the proper level.

so charge a dollar or two fee to gift old equipment i just think its ridiculous that you spend ten or ffteen dollars a piece of virtual equipment and u cant give it to someone who cant afford it when your done using it

You cannot gift old equipment but you can lose balls into water.

That alone proves WGT dosen't care for the customer one bit and is only out there to make money.

I could add more arguments but its hardly worth the time. Everytime someone makes a reasonable suggestion on this forum which involves something that benefits the player its never answered by moderators but they sure help you if you ask them how to deposit money or what clubs to buy.

What about if you can't gift clubs to a lvl they are not at?? Say you are at a lvl 75 & you get a new & want to gif your lvl 30 to a bud that is at at lvl 30 or so? BTW, I've never seen a mod on here playing..
