firetrucky: I think there is things that WGT could do like grade CC's [...]
Why should CCs subordinate to any grading? Is it necessary to enter any "who has the longest..." contest?
Best CC is not the biggest, the most spending, the most winning or the best average CC IMHO. For me, it's about the fun the members have through the community, common activity and good communication. They may be 10 or 100 or 250 - no difference at all as long as they keep sharing and caring.
As far as I see, WGT created this system of CC XPs and passes solely for their own benefit. Before, some 500(?) cr were enough to buy a CC for 250 members. Now, a CC needs a lot of games played, CC passes used and balls spent to arrive there. Furthermore, the company stirs a hype with the CC levels learderboard, with the Clashes and with the latest featured player, a true MVP for the company. In consequence, their earnings in credits and money rise without spending much towards their customers, and many happily obey.
"It is more blessed to give than to receive" says the bible, "it's more profitable to receive than to give" say business people. Quality is irrelevant, and there's no space for fairness in this religion.
