  WGTdbloshoe:

  It is a fine line that has to be walked between new players and older players.  New players need the game to be enjoyable and not so frustrating that they quite after a couple of rounds.  This seemed like a way to not make any drastic changes to the game, but do something that could make it easier for someone new.

  As to the multi's, they are going to have to work at it do what your talking about.  This is not just as simple as give us your name and a email address and your verified. 

  Thanks for the response Shoe. Well, you folks have got my name, email address, living address, bank card #, and a TON of my money, so that's all the verifying I'll be doing for now :) WGT is in 2nd place among my bank debits....right behind the ex-wife :(

  Still cheaper than real golf, though.

  Anyone else having lag issues while trying to putt? I just entered a 300 cred tourney and can't putt due to laggy meter, i never have meter issues. I had to quit and save the tourney.

  If that means WGT will stay with the large disgusting sunlight spots that blind us older players, then you can kiss my 4 1/2 years as a financial donater goodby.

  Shoe, not to start a rutkess , but would you mind showing a few post that stated the problem with putting was not seeing the moving dots.

   

  Thanks

  This forum only constitutes a small  number of players who play the game.  The majority of new players don't even realize the forums are here.

  So how did you find out what they wanted ?

  Seems their 1st point of call IS the forum to ask how to get in touch with WGT.?

  hackerj:

  So why have you removed the grid from pitches and chips around the greens, this does NOT improve the game for anyone. Moving the big square containing the distance and elevation, to a different position so it does not block half your view of the putt would be better. Bigger dots does nothing to help anyone in my opinion.

  Please refer to the second part of my original post.

  All new (and many not-so-new players have trouble putting. I've never complained following a downtime/new release, but it seems to me that you guys would listen to some of the people on here who have invested countless hours and MONEY, as far as what THEY would like to see.

  Dream on..

  Many points to make, non aimed at you Shoe btw

  Not shooting the messenger..

  Saturday - Be on the look out for one more thing that went in with this release.

  Right now, i dont think anyone gives a toss about what comes on Saturday Shoe. If this is supposed to appease us, or keep us excited about what is around the corner, then its a cynical ploy by you folks.

  WGTdbloshoe:

  Basically if your a verified account, it is showing you went through a process of verifying that you are who you say you are.  We are hoping this eventually will cut down on the accusations that are sometimes thrown back and forth between players.

  So pandering to the Elite few ?

  WGTdbloshoe:

  Also it could lead to special credit matches for verified players where enough credits are wagered to allow the winner to use them to get a gift card.

  See above response 

  Use the same criteria on ALL accounts will be verified from hack onwards ??

  These are release notes.  It is a overview of what came in this release.  So yes it is going to talk about other aspects of the release then just the putting grid.

  Since I don't win any credits, this doesn't affect me. However, I do see the CHEATS grinning from ear to ear now. Think about it.......Faking names, DL, addresses, etc is TOOOOO easy nowadays, and now with a way to turn those ill-gotten credits into cold hard cash in the form of gift cards (can be sold for 80-90% of value), the scammers who are already stealing credits from the honest players are going swoop down in droves.

  I don't see the cheats liking this at all. It is the utility bill that will get most of them. Not easy to fake those.
