  AndreasHelke:

  I am not ready to stop playing completely. But I would join a campaign to only play with free beginners balls for a while,

  Andreas, there's no immediate revenue impact to WGT playing beginners balls for a while.  The only times WGT gets revenue is from us at the Buy Credits window directly and indirectly from us through advertising when we show up on site and view ads, or view videos, take surveys, and take offers for credits. Check out the diagram on my profile page for how I think it works.

  @EATCAT:  Wouldn't an effective boycott of any kind hasten a shut down instead of getting problems fixed?  (not that I think an effective boycott is possible)

  With the speed of development of the computer world ,  flash is soon outdated (2 years )

  and then the pc/laptop version of WGT will no more be the thing they spend time on.

  Pc and laptops are on the last breathing hour.

  Wgt would not spend money on that now !!!

  they need to focus on the next thing or die.

  I would be sucking max blood if I was dying right now !

  Going back to IE 11 for the remainder of the game game gave me a smooth game again. Chrome with one WGT tab was still open during the play with IE.

  Have you tried Comodo Dragon.

  Wqt has a lot of issues to look at. What the players need to do is ALL JOIN IN A STOP PLAYING FOR 2 DAYS. NO PLAY BY ALL PLAYERS. WGT Strike

   

  You start...I'll check your profile in a day or so and see if you are sticking to it.

   

  My goodness, you know you have a choice to play or not, right?

  That might be fine, and maybe a few hundred forum regulars would respond to that idea, but how would you propose letting the other million+ players know about your plans?
