    cappiest:
    After a couple of weeks and a lot of RG's i can tell you that i am down almost 4000 credits. the new system obviously does not work very well and as a result everyone is going to quit playing them. The payout system is way too top heavy and needs an adjustment. If i were to continue playing as many as i normally did, my credits would be gone very quickly.

     

    I have stopped playing them and it going to drive me crazy.Even if you do well and win the odd one i think you would lose in the long run and thats what wgt wants. The need to buy more credits. The Tier RG's are a good move, payout scam is not.

    I agree wholeheartedly - the old payout system was far far better.

    Still gave first place more than 5x the entry fee, but also gave anyone a good chance of winning their credits back with a good score.

    Now, unless you hit 62 or lower you have no chance! Even a great round gets you just 98.8 credits back - what rubbish. Factor in the cost of balls and there's no point playing RGs. I'm stopping until its changed.

    Bring back the old system WGT!!!

    I played one round of 18 at StA to see how things would go. A 62 and 5th on countback was a waste of time with a return of 98 credits. As I have said previously, once the credits that I have built up go, I will be following them. I have no intention of subsidising the few elite players who are now gouging thousands of credits from the pool, thanks to what seems a very dubious decision by WGT which has the very clear intent of favouring these players for whatever reason, which they are obviously not going to make public.

    My anger is based upon what is a deceitful course of action by WGT, who are treating the majority of players here with nothing but contempt. I enjoyed the challenge of playing against legends who were still topping the leaderboards, but I would be able to pick up a FAIR return based upon final position in the RG's, and stand a reasonable chance of finishing up the ladder from time to time, and would pick up reasonable returns with regular top 5 - 25 finishes, with the occasional win thrown in.

    This seems to be WGT's mindset...screw the customer. So screw WGT. If they don't change this back, it will show very clearly that there is more to this than meets the eye. It will also show what they do think of us. It is not about developing the game or improving it. Just screwing the players.

    Keep the fire burning, they may actually listen to customer pressure.....won't hold my breath though.

    .. WGT wants the 'cream' to keep winning the majority of credits so 'we', the majority keep dipping into our pockets.. ..  how possibly could it be any other way............ pathetic if you ask me...............

    We do care about the players and we are not here to screw anyone.  Please just give us a bit more time to review the Ready Go paytable change.

    The change to the Ready Go Payouts was to try and incentivise more people to play and win.   Please note in the latest release last night we slightly increased the payouts.

    Im thinking that WGT is figuring this out.  Besides its been kind of refreshing to take a break and play some mpc's(besides the couple of legends dressed up like TM or pros.... and Ive actually been able to work during the day.  Although I have to say it is everything I have in willpower not to play a ready go.  I can only beg and plead CHANGE it back.  Please!!!!

    LOL. Me too, Doug. I never made huge credits on them but knew I could break even with a modest effort. Modest efforts now cost 51 credits. The new addiction is AS.  :-)

    Indeed a slight, a very slight change including just and only the 4th place into profit. The point is that its still only the absolute top that earn the big bucks, which they allready have and the majority still loses.

    Do the right thing and for once listen to your customers. The old system was perfect, was not broken and should be restored.

    Think only of the goodwill you can get by such a decision about the fact that for once you listened to the people who are bringing the money in
