    AFTER reading all of these posts, i find myself chuckling a bit, and heres why.

    1) I have a lot of experience with online gaming and online gambling, I mean A LOT... (maybe too much) this argument has played out on nearly every web related game since the introduction of the internet. The ONLY difference is, it's USUALLY young kids and immature / ignorant  tweens talking out their arses' about how a particular game or Devs are secretly screwing the masses. (and sometimes they're right in their beliefs, but that is a rarity) This site seems to have an abundance of adults seemingly  just as ignorant as to how programming and servers function. 

     

    2) NO AMOUNT OF COMPLAINING WILL SOLVE THE REAL ISSUES ON WGT. You've got a better chance of getting Obama to admit the "Affordable Healthcare Act" was a scam than have WGT admit to a lack luster customer service dept or devs / owners that are motivated to do more. There are some issues on this site that have been addressed from day one with little to no change. The reasons for that can be limitless, and we may never know the complexity or the lack of..    IF YOU WANT IMMEDIATE CHANGE to the things that we collectively, as a group, know is wrong, theres ONLY one solution that ALL businesses respond to....thats a dramatic loss of revenue. SOLUTION...STOP BUYING CREDITS, STOP CLICKING ON THE ADS. 

     

    3) As far as people claiming WGT changed this or that, soo what! ALL games change, get used to it, adapt, move on. Rinse and repeat each update. If you have lost credits or balls etc due to being disconnected, STOP gambling with your credits! You're feeding the beast that according to you, HATES you the MOST, why feed it? I know you want what you want and you want it NOW! Heres the problem with that mentality,  13 year old kids own the copyrights to that thinking, you'll never come across sincere as an adult acting like a child, especially when common sense DICTATES what the simple solution is, MAN UP and walk away. Blaming is never going to resolve anything. This is a business, whether or not their practices seem shady at times, it is still a for profit company. BOTTOM LINE:  If you're displeased with things and cannot seem to get a reasonable solution to the problems, stop spending your money. They have zero incentive to change for the better as long as people continue to open their wallets. 

    4) I realize everyone wants the same thing, a better end product. But heres the thing..WGT boasts they have 10 million registered users, i wouldn't be going out on much of a limb by stating that the vast majority of those are likely accounts that are not used anymore, forgotten about, people that never closed them out, BUT, there's still a few million that are still actively playing (assumption) Most are newer players that trickle in, see something shiny and new and dump money into WGT, fiddle fart around and eventually lose the attraction, but this process repeats itself thousands of times a day, CHA-CHING   CHA-CHING   CHA-CHING, all day everyday. Point is, in order for any change, or rather the particular change that you veterans seek from WGT will ONLY come if you ALL act collectively. You are a SMALL fraction of the revenue, losing a few means nothing. I came here in 2013, saw the SAME pissing contests then as i'm seeing today, nothing has changed. If seeing all of the lousy misleading surveys etc wasn't enough to open your eyes, then i'm not sure what will. WGT is a great game, with some faults, but i am not convinced they have "evil" or misleading intentions, thats simply bad business. Honestly, we, as patrons have no idea what platform this games is running on, or rather the game engine. I suspect it is old and rather limited in contrast to today's more modern technology, which in a nutshell, bottlenecks SOME potential advancements in game play. And, I also see the obvious, the seemingly lack of care for correcting wrongs when they happen to players, IE: Reimbursement in full after disconnects, etc...i'm not blind to the issues, nor do I bleed WGT, i have no stake in this battle for fairness, therefore my advice is solid, and proven.

     

    5) EXAMPLE: The LARGEST and 2 most popular online gaming companies in the world BOTH put out a secondary product that fell flat on it's face. NOT because the product didn't have what it took to be the best, rather they were content with what they put out for sale....sales were off the charts the first month, UNTIL the people spoke, they were ignored....then the people collectively stopped feeding the beast. Next thing you know, their CEO's were firing people, begging for forgiveness, promising the change the people demanded. AND THEY got EXACTLY what they wanted. We're talking about a billion dollar company. WGT is a much smaller company, light years smaller. Stand together, you shall reap the rewards.....

                                OR YOU CAN SIT IN CHAT ROOMS COMPLAINING AND BLAMING....

     

    cheers!

    Nice post Dubs, but I think that most of us know all that stuff allready.

     

    Maybe we just like taking the pi$$ out of each other, and having a collective grumble at the same time.

    There is a semblance of enjoyment to be had out of the experience.

     :)  I can relate. I too have spent my fair share of time venting. And yes, you are correct, MOST do know what i posted already. Sometimes it's just good to hear it again.

    Where can we all read about these two games?  What are the names, surely its public knowledge?

    oneeyedjohn:

    I googled malignant degenerate, even looked in Wiki, and the UrbanDictinary, nope, nothing there....

    So I am lost for words.

    Malignant >  adjective /

    1. ( of a disease) Very virulent or infectious.

    Synonyms: invasive, uncontrollable, dangerous, deadly, fatal, incurable.

    2. Malevolent.

    " in the hands of malignant fate"

    Synonyms: spiteful, malicious, malevolent, vindictive, vengeful, malign, nasty, hurtful, mischievous, cruel, unkind; more

    Degenerate > Adjective / having lost the physical, mental, or moral qualities considered normal and desirable; showing evidence of decline.

    Synonyms: debased, degraded, corrupt,impure; formal vitiated "a degenerate form of classicism.

    I hope that helps a little John.

    I am known for being on the cutting edge of new word associations. I termed the word "BOINK" in 1968 to put a nicer spin on the word f**k.

    I have submitted this thread for consideration of combining the two words, and possible actual quoting of the degenerates with malignant tendencies as proof that the two have a proper and useful meaning together.

    The thread began innocuously enough. Then the ever present insult was added to a simple reply.

    Then the band wagon filled up with more improprieties, (surprisingly not towards me, I am grateful, thank you all) and the flood gates of the mega posters were thrown open towards an all too predictable end.

    With one redemption. Mr. YJ came back on track with good information as is his normal way. Albeit, it is still banner waving in my opinion. Nothing wrong with it, just saying.

    The VEM is built into the game as to not make the game play as a predictable math equation would make it play, as he states. The two circles that were spoken about, most people know was a reference to SgtBilko's explanation of clubs forgiveness and precision. A very good read that helps skeptical folks to understand how the ding can be hit, and the shot not be perfect.

    Real life has nothing to do with this game at all. This is Cyberspace. Something some of you have way too much of between your ears.  Except for the fact that some in here make this their life and feel shunned when their opinions are not taken as gospel.

    Then a decent thread all too often turns into this POS.

    Thanks Overtheedge. You made me laugh. Almost as much as the rest of these pontificators.

    YJ, you may want to be more respectful to people you don't know. Just a thought.

    As for you tin foil boy, stay below street level in your own league. Less people are interested in your ability to formulate completely venomous statements. They are second to none in here. You must be a Scotsman with an attitude like that. Mel Gibson lost, give in already.

    There are quite a few runners up though. But you need not worry about being dethroned by them.

    Insults are your go to grab bag. Nothing positive to say to anyone, except your boyfriends in here. Just open the closet door and be done with it.

    Now here's the part where all the personal messages start to each other to get Pee booted out of here. Hurry up before I lose all interest in here by myself. 

    What happened to the "no more posting after Pee posts" rule??

    You guys all deserve each other. Someone above was spot on when he said nothing changes in here. Just happy being at everyones throats.

    Nice way to live a life that was gifted to you all. Phht!

     

    Pee
