  It truly is a shame to see some of the best players on WGT leave this game because of WGT's inability to appropriately handle the issues that would retain good players.  It seems as though WGT is only looking at one number as far as membership goes.  I just looked and as of 7:47 pm today CST, there are 7,491,118 registered accounts and it is growing by about 3500 per day.  

  Sadly, all the issues you mentioned need to be addressed and probably will not.  Their membership growth, and probably their bank account growth is leading them to believe they are on the right track.

  Good luck to you, I am sure you will not be the only one that has reached the end of the line.

  Well my friend that is not true 3500 players a day no way.I found a better game online than wgt with more than 100.000.000 players playing every day .Im sory that i can not tell the name o the site  -WGT now is a *** old game no interes at all at the moment and i hope that will be never

  Well, actually, in 19 hours since I posted that number WGT has picked up 5,785 accounts.   Go to the bottom of the forum and click on the newest member then look at the bottom of the page and you will see the member account number.  

  Sure would be interested in knowing that other site though,  could be very tempting.

  Hans, the ideas you shared are excellent and WGT would be foolish not to implement them immediately. Its the very ideas this game needs to be great again.

  Your post also rightfully suggests WGT has peaked before it truly came out of BETA (GAMESHELL: v1.97.04: release). It may not say BETA anymore, but we're definitely not playing version 2.0.

  Sorry to see you go Hans, for sure.

  Happy Hunting in your new life with out WGT Hans.

  WGT does not give a rip about anybody quiting....too many new people signing up every day to worry about a few top players quiting.  It's all about the money, always has been, always will be.

  You pay or do surveys or cheat at RG's or sandbag at MP's so you can play. WGT owes you nothing.

  What is truly sad is not one reply from WGT or it's acting agents . 

   

  and you expect them to say what ?  they're probably as tired as i am with reading these i quit threads ....

  It's a bit different when it's someone Hans caliber.

   

  maybe , but again , what do expect them to say ?

  Reply and admit there's a problem , put fourth an effort to correct the problem. Tell Hans they are sorry to see him leave .  Shall I go on?

  Very proud to have Hans on my friends list.

  We hooked up through an Uneven Lies tourney and Hans has proven over and over what a gentleman he is.

  Good Luck Hans, you will be missed.

  Am I getting a few balls or what buddy, oh and a driver as well and if anyone else is VEMoosing (see what I did there) give me a few bits and bobs from your bag and I will do the whole "don't go, WGT is just a money grabbing machine" thing for you.

  I do believe that WGT does care about it's users.  However (according to the numbers that I see) there are 6 million users or some number like that.

  Responding to the demand of the user community is a tough thing, especially when the community wants different things and has different issues.  What is a problem for some isn't a problem for others, what is important to me might not even be on your radar.

  I still believe that WGT would be well served to create a super player group that brings forth the needs of the community.  Maybe pick a dozen of the owners of the top Country Clubs or some group like that.  They could meet online and discuss their consensus for change, new products, improvements, etc.

  I have to see anyone leave and we have lost many good players and it seems that many of us are not full time players anymore.  I'm a proud member of the Deviations and I would suspect that the play by our members is half of what it was a year ago.

  It is time that WGT steps up and works with it's user base to at least understand the issues that we have and work with the users to achieve common goals.  They don't have to do this, no business is required to listen to it's users, however I would suggest that any business that does not do that will be doomed to eventually fail.

  Put on your big boy pants WGT and work with your users to keep us happy, in the end it will benefit both sides.

  This may sound strange, but reading these posts, one question keeps popping into my head.

  Does the refrigerator light stay on, when we close  the door?

  Meaning, WGT was here before each of us signed up, and unless you log in, you won't know if it failed or not.

  They don't care about us, just see us as $$$$$$$$$ & ££££££££££'s

  as each one leaves must be at least 10 replace us, with all singing dancing equipment to buy.
