  I respect the true legends abilities and opinions.  I will be interested to see what the other truly great players think of this new system, I believe that most if not all will be of the opinion of Bolly and he is definetely one that would gain from this system.

  I just see this as a cold calculated way in which WGT are trying to increase the number of regular players buying credits, by decreasing the number of players who make profit. So the top players could easily win 4 or 5k credits a day, where the mid table guys have their daily 2 - 400 credit gain wiped out (the gain they previously used to buy balls).

  I can see why they are doing it, but its not exactly pleasant to see. I would rather see them focusing on adding new features, doing bigger more exciting tournaments to bring more people into the game, thus improving revenue from the base as it expands.

  I always worry about a business when it starts saving money and penny pinching to make money rather than spending money to grow....

  I did not even play a ready-go yesterday (usually play 3-6 a day) as I was trying to adjust to the new callway balls first. Going to play a few today but after reading this I'm not very optimistic.

  You have my vote already to change the payout back to original.

  You pretty much have to play near perfect as a Legend to make something. There's only a handful of players on this site that can do that consistantly. With the lower tiers getting Callaway balls this is going to get worse before it gets better.

  RGs will eventually take a few days to fill up IMO. Days of getting to 165k is over for 99% of the population. They should take down the Elite Collection, it really is a joke without good RG payouts.

  the old system was much better - bring it back now!!!  What business model recommends constant product changes and introductions which piss off a large portion of your customer base?

  Two days later the TM only RGs are still waiting to be filled. Let's write this little RG experiment off and return to the way it was.

  The new payout system for RG's is a joke. WGT, if your gonna make changes to the game, please run them by the people who pay for the game. Namely, US. If any of the other games that I play online are going to make any changes, they at least have the manners to let us know in advance before they do it. This at least give us a chance to voice our opinions in the matter. The lack of consideration for customers concerns on this site is disgusting. As far as I am concerned, who ever is coming up with this new ideas, should be told to vacate his or her office immediately, in favour of someone who has a bit of sense. The changes that have been made to this game since I joined back in November are sytematically making this game worse instead of improving it.

  Quite frankly, I just think this is another thread that will be ignored by WGT, so our best option is for everyone who has an opinion on the recent changes, to send an e-mail to members@worldgolftour.com with your complaints. If enough people complain directly to them, surely they will revert to the old tried and trusted method.

  The only positive thing to come from the recent update is the changes made to the advertising banner between the holes. The transition is now 100% better than it was, so credit where credit is due. Congratulations on getting something right for a change.
