Thoughts please - New Tier Above Tour Legends?

  Q school, as I understand the idea, is not a good one in my opinion.
  
  If the problem is the disparity within TL, the a Q school would not solve the problem because some would not opt in for it.
  
  So instead, just calculate the average only using $$ tourneys and incorporate an avg place finish or AVG PAYOUT PER ENTRY into the advancement equation.

  You still have the same problem , just at a higher tier . It wont matter how many tiers , that WGT adds to the game . This situation is not going to change . The only benefit will be to WGT . It`s not going to stop the top players from competing , or winning . So there is no need to add another tier .

  This game will always have players who are poor losers . They will cry and complain , because they arent as good as other players . They want special treatment , because , they play the game . But if a new tier is going to be implemented , then let it be , a tier for the cry babies . It can even be called Cry BABY Tier . This tier will be for all poor losers , quitters , whiners , and any other cup cake players that I failed to mention .

  ^^^WHAT HE SAID, AND AMEN.^^^

  Seriously WGT? You can not, or will not fix the multitude of existing problems that currently reside within this game and now you want to entertain the idea of adding another level of horse crap that you will not be able to control or manage? You will do it anyway, so why bother asking us?

  I think a change should only be made for designating the top( or elite) of the tier.  You could even do that to all tiers or maybe Master tier and up.   Game conditions could/should be no different and just be a way to identify the best of that tier.  

  Example:  Tour Legends with a certain criteria met could be titled Expert TL. The main thing would IMO would be that it would have to be maintained.   Their would be no advantage to the other TL's in the game, but maybe have additional tourneys for those ETL's  as an incentive for other TL's to want to get there too.  Might work for Legends and Tourmasters who just haven't hit the mark for the next promotion.

  I agree with what seems to be the majority.  There are a whole host of new features/fixes that existing players have been crying out for for a while now.  I don't remember a new tier above TL being one of them.

  Please put what limited time and resources you have into what players want. After all, you should want the same thing as it keeps  them involved in your game.

  I Think for a few  Tour Legend  the best of the best,  and there is not that many,  I would say 25 to 50 members  out of  1,300 TL (I Made up that number for example ).      Well  WGT should start   thinking about giving them  the title of (Tier) WGT ELITE)........................        WGT  would have to get a staff member to  come  with a way to choose  the way,and  a formula  to choose them  very carefully

  Something like a PGA Q-School comes to mind.  Open to TLs only, 4 rounds in the toughest conditions on hardest courses.  Maybe 20 qualify the 1st time,  then every 3 or 6 months, another Q and the top 5 get added.

  Not a bad Idea, but the Q-School will only work if everybody wanted to be promoted to the new Tier. If they didn't want to be promoted then they won't go for the Q-School.

  I stopped playing R/Go's because I'm nowhere near as good as the people or TL's playing em.  Maybe I should say, I can't shoot the low scores needed to compete.

  So will that stop me from going to Q-School to get promoted?....  Maybe.   Maybe not.

  Champions Tier has a nice ring to it.

  i don't agree with that , opening up pro shop is how we got into trouble like this now

  r1 driver at 98 was fine but then came level 92 open and below .  you have masters that has drivers better than we had coming up thru the tiers and makes it easier. so in my opinon stop giving beteer eqipment lower tiers,thats our major problem

  That's why I suggested free play and real-world prizes.  And it might not matter if all the best players did it, most might be good enough.

  Also, how about giving those players beta te---alpha testing privileges for new products and courses?

  Please no.  That means I have to get my average down, advance, and tank it again.
