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

  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.

  You are joking.  

  Never saw so many T Pros come out of the wood work that wanted to spend 48 hours playing the clash with starter stuff, and that was chasing a golden pixelated gnome.

  Jimbog:

  Maybe I misunderstood when you said a CC Bank could be abused. My only concern is that a person could use a CC Bank to move credits around between various accounts. Either or both of the above would deter that situation.

  Not sure what the CC Clash results (where 100's of Tour Pros in some CCs do come out and play many many rounds) has to do with it. But IF you are saying that 100's of Tour Pros would come help out a CC owned by a multi-account player get his/her CC to level 12 so that the owner can then trade $ between his/her multiple accounts only to be kicked out once Level 12 is attained - well I just think you are wrong on that one.

  We will need to beg to differ here.  I see either or both of those suggestions deterring nothing.

  By definition a race for XPs does not encourage good management away from the XP measurement.  A bank would be abused more than bitcoin if it could here, and there would soon be L12 or whatever CCs doing that.  Levels guarantee only XP amounts, nothing more.   

  Now with some of the characters around here if what  they open up did amount to a mini bitcoin they really might be in trouble.

  My T pro clash example was just one example of a high ranking club playing the system - well away from this otherwise.

  Like I say agree to beg to differ here.

  EDIT: No disrespect to those who cared but I think WGT did a good job, albeit a bit too late, in trimming the levels system generally.  Nothing should be linked to it more than what already is (at most). Getting in to separate territory a bit there though:)

  Ed,

  that would discriminate against many genuine players.  Our small club is at level 5 and you are very familiar with all the members along with the fact that we are not multi-accounters.  It will take us years to get to level 12.  Why, if it is created should we not be allowed to have the CC Bank facility?  This approach seems to be - disadvantage many genuine players to restrict some multi-accounters.

  You know well how this can work and I would have good idea of how too.

  Why have a barrier at a certain CC level is one view of it  --->  Discrimination in a way ?!?

  Why not have different levels of % taken by WGT of the transaction amount  -> Discouragement of certain players !?!

  Could also just be in relation of how big the CC ---> Disadvantage again ... !?!?

  I guess none of the proposals would be 100% proof for the so called "cheaters" but I guess there is the point behind for WGT or RD or SD.

  The point Al mentioned is true. You know it.

  At the end it's all about $ and BIG $$ for WGT

  As we all know not only Newspapers adverts have to fight against FB & Google but the same is here for WGT  ---> all about CASH $$

  So if there is a way that WGT can make good $ and get ride of those "multi" "$-maker" "booster" players then they might go for it.

  So where do we stand & what are our hopes?

  Answer : ASK WGT
