I have played WGT since last December and have been amazed at the progress of the game over the last six months. This post is not directed at anyone specifically or in response to any specific post, I just want to give my perspective on the WGT community.
Prior to playing WGT, I was active in the Halo 3 community at www.bungie.net Over time, the forums on the bungie site became full of criticism, complaining, and bitterness. This forum is quickly becoming the same. It has just recently become more negative, I have sensed the change in the last couple of months. Coinciding, ironically, as WGT has given us MORE courses, MORE clubs, made efforts to improve swing meter performance, etc.
Instead of expressing gratitude, we have instead complained louder. I just want to encourage everyone to think before you post. Remember that you are playing a free game that offers prizes unlike any other game site around and is trying to listen to feedback and make changes to the game.
This may sound simplistic, but we can make this forum whatever we want it to be. My fear is that we are very quickly becoming a place much like the Bungie community. A repository for people to vent their frustrations about this game not being perfect. Well guess what, this game is never going to be perfect. And if you have ever played any other video game online, you know that there are always bugs, imperfections, cheats, glitches, that keep any game from being perfect.
Try to think before you post. If you are about to rail into the admins or someone else, sleep on it before you hit post. Yeah yeah, I am being idealistic, I just want to try and prevent WGT from becoming a bitter place to visit.
