    Because of the fact that it seems that many of us are not happy with the new pay out system and the very arrogant way they reacted on my former post about it , I mailed the next writing to WGT:

     

    Hello WGT,

    We all now experienced the new pay out system , thought up by your company, and I paid it much attention, because I think its a very unfair new way to pay out, only to favour the players that already are almost always in the good money.
    The marvelous thing about the old system was the fact that also the lesser gods of virtual golf had a possibility the play at least even, or earn a small profit. And because they could with the occasional bigger profit, they would not mind to lose sometimes too, still keeping the purpose of the game, getting better, alive among the most of us.
    And that last thing is being crucial to such format as the ready go tournament. We are prepared getting better for a certain amount of investment, but if the pay offs are getting nearly impossible, we stop simply investing and so the new pay out system will have a reverse effect of what is intended, namely earning you guiys more money.
    People simply cant afford playing anymore.

    The next thing that will happen is that the fun also in the other ways to play on WGT will go away, just becuase people simply cant put more money in, so in the long term you would lose players and I am convinced that can never be the intention of WGT.
    You have a wonderfull product here, a very lifelike virtual game where many people have a lot of fun. It should never be just alone for the money, though important, but there is also something like consumerfriendlyness. Constantly moneygrabbing new features will , at the end, bite you, just as it did so many companies in the latest depression.

    So, again, listen to the people who make it possible to have such a marvelous game, the players and turn back the new pay out system as it were, because that was one of the most interesting tournaments WGT had and give the players the feeling back that with the investment they made on WGT there is a fair chance they can win some of that money back.

    A concerned player and one that will stop, and within a short time, as long as his now earned credits last, will also leave the site

    I dont know if it works, can only hope so, but i will keep fighting for a fair game, at least till I run out of credits or energy

    At least before we could break even, maybe doubling our $, and with proffit, what do we do? buy expensive balls. So WGT get their money what we've won back anyway! But now, we will have to buy balls out of our own money, not proffit..Thats what i'm sad to say WGT want, as you touched on above Moneygrabbing.  WGTIcon has allready said this is not up for discussion, so as you see, us the custmers don't really matter anymore, as long as we keep feeding the greedy cash cow.

    I understand WGT need $ to go out and photo, GPS etc etc new courses, but don't they make enough from sponsors, club sales, balls etc etc, because i know for a fact i've spent Loads on this game out of my own pocket untill i got good enough to be self sufficient in Ready Go's. And tampering with the one tournament most of us enjoy playing(and paying for the pleasure), is frustrating, the rich will get rich, and us average/good players will get poorer, and stop playing eventually.  I could have bought a new playstation 3 with what i've spent, maybe worth considering???

    I just played my first ready go whilst aware of the new pay outs. I did play a couple whilst blissfully unaware of the change. I played well and shot a 30, not likely to win but certainly a top 5 position, possibly top 3. I will be interested to see what kind of pay out I receive. Anything less than 200 and there really wont be any point in me playing them in future.

    .........the suspense is killing me..........
