    Will (famous last) leave this alone after this.

    One last ? Does WGT not get that there are laws against companies exploiting private individuals for private gain??  Laws that demand competency even online??  I HOPE WGT are at least preparing an apology, and way forward after compensation for this debacle (which started with the XP grab).  I think serious lawyer advice should be taken, and WGT then consider the above may be cheaper for them in the long run than silence.  

    Does WGT not get that if it fell back in a pile of fox turd it would not stand up stinking less as it stands?? That stinking hits bottom line sometimes???

    On the plus side I am sure the Golf Channel etal are looking at this incompetent (being kind) debacle unfold, and that may force something???

    It's very simple , if the majority of the community is truly upset with this , then in the future do not participate in any more events.

     it is just like punitive damage hit them where it hurts , and the only way to do that is their pocket.

    if you are here to just ramp and rage,then expect to get this same treatment in the future.

    Remember, you are WGT, without us there is no WGT.

    So in other words we decide our own fate of this game

    Jim, if WGT follows its own procedures for investigating violations of their terms & conditions the process could go properly. Sure, they would lose a little face to have to publish a corrected announcement of the winners. But face has already been lost, so I think overall it would be a salvation for them at this point. Relatively speaking.

    So what if it's after the fact? Cheaters in other sports who are exposed later have their titles taken away - Lance Armstrong etc. Not quite a Lance situation where they would have to dig down pretty far to find a non-cheater - don't know if anyone else near the top was cheating in the same manner. But yes they should drill down into the data before stripping what's-his-name of his loot and announcing a corrected result.

    Imagine that this cheater would be using this ill-gotten equipment in the future, in upcoming Virtual US Opens and such. What a nightmare if... I don't even want to contemplate it.

    The solution is there in WGT's own terms and conditions, which all of us - cheaters included - have signed on to.

    And yes, Wood, we are upset. And most of us have no personal stake in this because we were never really in the running for this award.

    Because it would only be worth 32 credits to re-sell back.

    If he has any sense he will not use it for anything serious.  This is where I stepped back though.  Maybe I am too easy going, but I saw an owner who looks young and benefit of doubt  putter recipient (also young guy ?).  I am not young and us older ones all have one or two things maybe could have done better mu only point.  In another thread I said think hard again and consider an apology BsB and C (that would include C dumping the silly putter).  I would give them another chance on that basis, but also accept I was not a CC person chasing this over many hours in runner up place.  Not saying you would not give em another chance just my thought's for me. EDIT: Assuming both young if either were my sons I would be explaining how ashamed I was, but like to think my sons would not do it.  Not getting on a high horse just saying young (?) and no long term trigger pulled here that's all.

    How a half competent business oversaw this from XP grab through the CC Clash complete ill contrived debacle to "award" remains amazing.  

    WGT experts in exploitation and Hero to Zero Stock Dives.

    I seriously doubt that NBC is even blinking an eyelid at this event due to the fact that their name is not attached to it. Had their name been attached, then yes, I could see the fecal matter hitting the proverbial fan.

    For the ANCC to willfully and maliciously post to their CC Forums re: the exploitation/use of BoP is unimaginable and goes directly to their character as a whole.

    The funniest thing is that the player in question is "Verified in Exploitation". Makes you wonder by his earnings, how many other times he has exploited the system.

    I, for one, will never purchase another CC Pass from WGT and am instructing my measly three members to follow suit.

    Does anyone honestly believe WGT will admit fault or any wrong doing, at the same time ban anyone or any CC, not to mention refund credits?

    How much real time money was spent on passes?

    Does WGT make money on credits players have already won through tournaments or Ready-Go play?

    I wonder if there's any legal ramifications facing WGT over this?

    I've never saw a website ran by the seat of someone's pants like this one. Its like they're a group of amateurs that rely on Lawyers to keep things in perspective. WGT completely threw out their own Terms & Conditions to conduct this CC vs CC Event.

    I'm really appalled at what has transpired here in the past 24 hours. The game is tainted and now WGT will both be silent, and most likely drag their feet on implementing any new features. I may be wrong, but I highly doubt we'll see another CC vs CC Event. Just like TruGolf courses, the par 3 course, and a few other game features people showed disdain for.
