CC Levels and Bank

  Ok WGT. You have added new Champion and Tour Champion tiers for the players which is great. So when will you get around to adding more Levels to the Country Clubs? Currently the highest you have listed is Level 17 I believe. If you were to look there are several CC's which have exceeded that level and I think it's about time you updated this. And while you're at it, when will you ever get around to opening a CC bank? It has been talked about for a long time but nothing has ever come of it or even mentioned lately.

  Maybe it's time you dealt with in-house matters before releasing new equipment and other senseless items we don't need nor want. I can't even begin to think how many CC's are listed in WGT. Most of which spend a lot of money!! This matter has been brought up before but again I think it's time to revisit it. It would be nice if any of the WGT minions would at least give us a response pertaining this. Let's hear from other CC's whom have reached the "Outer Limits" of levels too. The more the merrier.

  Last CC level benefit is at L16 - not the slightest move to be seen for higher levels (three CCs at L19 now), and nothing concerning the bank and their newest addition, "gifted passes" leaderboard.

  IMHO, the "CC's ameliorations" project has no more focus, and perhaps more than that.

  I appreciate that, because this whole CC passes thingy does almost nothing for players and CCs but a lot for WGT.

  Excuse me, don't you see that your "Bank!" demand is just that?

  Some have asked for a features moratorium but that's apparently not their politics. They rather tear down more of their own work while introducing more new rubbish.

  And there's still no sight of Pebble Beach Full 18!

  Exactly Alosso, this is the reason I started this conversation. Both of these issues have been swept under the carpet by WGT!! It was WGT that had brought them up in the first place so now it's up to them to at least address these issues!!

  Even if it's from one of the "minions", at least say something regarding these and quit ignoring them!! It's rather disappointing one of them hasn't chimed in by now but as you stated, there is no more focus involving these. It's more or less all been forgotten!! They'd much rather go after the quick buck!!

  It's a shame they disregard those who have been loyal players here on WGT for so many years. It takes years to accomplish Level 17 or above in a CC environment. They have no idea how much time and effort goes into maintaining a well running CC. WGT just seems to take advantage of those clubs thinking they are appeased enough as it is so why throw them any extra bonuses!! But you just have to love the Heart and Cloverleaf tee markers!! Lol!!

  Levels just created XP hunting clubs, free shot pal/putter pal is all you need really. Plus a few more comp spaces for a dozen or so members to take part in with these clubs. Lotta clubs out there with less than 10% participation in club stuff!

  Anyway toooo many things need fixing so please, nothing new WGT or candy crush here i come.

  +1 - CC lvl 6 + 250 members, that's good enough!

  IMHO, the focus is not on the big & high-level CC. These - like mine - don't need the CC passes and CC levels, see above. We once payed 200 or 500 cr to have 250 member spaces available, and the necessary benefits now come almost by themselves.  What we do and what we want seems Peanuts to the company.

  It's more about the new & small CCs. They need to level up for more members - the pressure to pay for CC passes is much higher. That's what it was made for, and, unfortunately, some CCs raise the bar up high and create competition about this voidness.

  To each his own, but not for me ;)

  Yep...We are small club too.  Should we wish to start chasing just numbers and XPs we would be at least bigger and have more XPs than we do, but we won't compromise on how we wish to grow.  Not criticising others for how they do it, but our goals have not allowed for expansion in an XP chase way - all fine with us.

  The way the passes work can get in the way of play.  I wonder how much WGT lose out v how much they gain, and indeed how many even look at it.

  Bank: See the upside and see the huge potential for abuse,  Something small and purely for fun if they can would be my vote.

  I think this place would do well to remember what made it fantastic much more, and get back to concentrating on some core areas more often.  In my vew a core area should remain the PC platform, and not treat it as some playground for high school kids to think up daft fast $ schemes that don't make many $s, meet their natural end fast and stuff other things up.

  I wonder how many like just playing this game for what it is/was. The folk who play real golf (poorly lol) and just see the playing of these courses for enjoyment or folks who like to create comps for members to enjoy and have a bit online competition. Also the better players who like to pit their wits against fellow top players in RGs, all honest fun.

  Then theres the rest, noticing some folks friend lists recently its either a knocking shop or it saves them getting a top shelfer.......tissues at the ready!!!!!!

  I'm thinking "top shelfer" means something different on your side of the world???

  What I understand it to mean - nobody would want one!

  The porno mags are traditionally kept on the top shelf in the local newsagents (local everything shop once I guess) out of the way of kids.  Soft porn mags only, but as kids we did our best to look up and wonder or find what we could over the local tip LOL

  There are two ways that WGT could make a CC Bank such that there is no way it would be abused.  Both methods on there own would work but they even could be done in combination for added "anti-abuse" measures.

  1)  Make the CC Bank a CC Benefit for CCs that attain Level 12 (15 million CC XPs).  No multi-account player could ever form a CC and get there without spending a ton of credits thus defeating the advantage of moving credits between the numerous accounts they may have using their CC Bank.

  and / or

  2) WGT could charge a small transaction fee of 1% on all donations to the CC Bank. The transaction fee would again deter multi-account players while at the same time allowing legitimate CC members to pool funds to aid another CC member.
