WGTicon:I believe it's only for new players
Kinda sucks for those of us who are not new.
WGTicon: I think it's 300 credits total
WGTicon: they get that almost as a tier bonus
To reach level 25 would mean a couple of hours of playing when you're new. It takes a year or longer to reach the "pinnacle" tier and you receive 225 credits ( I think).
It's a cool "business plan", but once again, it seems WGT is ONLY geared towards NEW players. Screw the oldies (I'm technically not an oldie, but I do see many, many, many long-time players here that have their wishes/desires ignored and chunked in the trash.
I'm not complaining at all. It is simply an "allure" to attract/entice/HOOK the newbies. I think WGT should throw the old dogs a bone every once in a while, too. Maybe even do a retro-active on that 300 credit thing for the rest of us. Many folks would still complain that it's nothing to what they've spent, but I would jump for joy, 'cause I'm broke due to WGT, divorce, IRS, kids, gambling, and fast living. It's all caught up to me. I'm about 3 games away from using starter balls. The videos put malware/spyware/viruses on my computer, and the surveys take all my time and then tell me I don't qualify (30 minutes for 5 credits = .10 an hour).
How does starting over (closing my account and starting anew) work? Would I be same level and tier, or have to work my way back through the ranks? I totally suck at TL. And ain't afraid to admit it. The excitement and love for the game is fading. 300 credits won't fix that. But, it will make me feel better for a day or so.
