Forced to rent or buy

  Got to level 104 tonight.

  No way an I going to buy or rent clubs I have had in the past.

  But there was no option to decline either renting or buying lower level clubs (L94 and L 97).

  Had to finally rent one and then unequip it just to see anything in the game client - even after logging out of game client, logging out of WGT and finally rebooting my computer.

  Come on WGT I should at least have the option to say "no thanks."

  That's strange. When I advanced from level 104 to level 105 the only clubs available to me was the Nike Method 001 M2 (I have the M1) and the level 98 Big Bertha driver. I don't recall exactly but there was either a decline button or an X  at the top right side of the pop-up window. I didn't have to rent or buy anything. Maybe it's browser related.

  That PETTY bug probably cost him $10 being forced to rent a club.

  One way to prolong the rent is to open an 18 hole ranked(!) game through the two hours, then leave it alone or save it. The rent will only be finished when this game is over.

  On top of being forced to rent something I already sold back to the Pro Shop in June to get out of the 2 hour free rental screen -  Now every time I click on the play now button there is a pop up asking if I want to buy it. 

  Heck I did not want to rent it but had no option to just say No Thanks. Now every time I hit Play Now I have to make sure I click the right button in order to do anything on WGT.

  Isn't clicking "No" once good enough?

  It is downright annoying

  I am starting to think that WGT would hope that I click the wrong button and buy the clubs I sold back to them and then not refund the credits when I give them the dates I bought them and the dates I sold them back.

  There is a difference between trying to sell a product and actively attempting to force you to make a mistake and buy it.

  In this case I think WGT is hoping I make the mistake and click the wrong button.

  So now to WGT:

  Do you think if I click the wrong button by mistake I will not be all over customer service and getting my credits back due to a miss click? That will cost you more in personnel time and money than to just put a "No Thanks" button in either of the two. (Do you want to rent and /or the 10% off offer that has popped up 6 times today).

  Thank you WGT for your consideration.
