Yes, I have started a number of posts bemoaning the frustrating loopholes in the new system. But come on, folks, it is as tough the current discontent has snowballed into a bitching fest of hysterical proportions, that makes the worst PMS fit look tame. I find it comical of sorts, like an open season where a bunch of rednecks are shooting at everything, no matter what, including their left foot.
So let us remain calm and fair. WGT has introduced the new level system to discourage sandbagging and quitting, which are two real problems. Yet, it is clear they have veered too far from the beaten track and ventured dangerously in a snake pit. Their last change, unfortunately, despite its merits, has failed to redress the situation. Old masters with a ton of experience are still at arbitrary low levels that make them look like starters and lock them out of virtually every piece of high end equipment, appropriate to their tier. That is especially painful if they made it in the legend tier, with the only consolation of the legend balls, that are quick to ignite their wallets.
Personally, I love the challenge presented by my new tier. It feels a lot more real than my sub-60 average of old, which was laughable. All in all, I still love the game, minus a few reservations that I have stated openly.
So again, folks, please calm down and be fair. Enough of this unbridled whining for the sake of whining, or finger pointing to forget about our own inadequacies. The operative expression is constructive criticism, that avoids being oblivious to everything that is truly remarkable here and keeps us coming back.
