Nancy1959: Alosso, of course I am more into the fun of this game than anything.
Love that!!
OTOH, if you are frustrated about the lack of benefits or recognition for the high levels achieved, it only applies to a few players like you, for the individual levels, and a few CCs for CC levels 21+.
Nancy1959: But they lose so much money when they strip away all incentives for country clubs to move up in levels and also individuals who spend a lot of time and money to reach level 200.
Think it over, how much are they really losing? In relation to the majority of players in lower levels, it may be marginal.
I read the Pro Shop that they don't want to sell clubs above L103, and I think that it has no value for them. They earn their money with all the L20 and L50 and ... clubs which are available to a multitude of players, caught in the maze of levels and grinding on.
Nancy1959: The pinnacle of the absurdity of this was
setting level 201 at an unreachable level.
My view on this is, they are honest, once. Truman Burbank entered the boat at L104, L199 still held an illusion of hope, L200 is the painted wall.
Nancy1959: This is why well over half
of the level 200 members (which represent a group of people who have
spent the most playing this game) have either stopped playing so much or
have quit playing this game altogether.
Oops - I didn't know that there are more than just you.
OTOH, we might say that these people left the Truman Show.

Nancy1959: They forgot that they created a "carrot" of giving people something to set goals to achieve...the principle behind this money hungry organization that obviously knows how to tap into addictive behavior, LOL. They have taken away all incentive in that category.
Apparently, their calculation justifies that. Their array of carrots has proven successful!
