    I never received points for any surveys. Its not worth the trouble. I got all my points by watching videos. Sound off...watching football and hitting a button now and then. There was a time there a few months ago  when Yahoo basically gave unlimited points for watching sit com excerpts. That gave me all my equipment. But with the ads now blocking my entire  shot bar I cant ply anymore anyway.

    Judging from your other posts in the forums, you are likely to be poorly educated and unemployed, and if so you probably have the time to waste.

    Some of us don't and actually work and support those who can't or won't work.

    Now if a survey earns 200cr and takes 20 minutes, then in one hour I could earn 600cr....provided they all pay out. 

    That equates to $6.00 an hour..........my time is worth more than that and that is my opportunity cost. 

    So the 6 bucks I pay will last considerably longer than that one hour, so to me that is far from a rip off.....pretty good value IMO. Cheaper than other forms of entertainment or even a coffee.

    You still here Foxy? Thought you might have joined one of those voluntary euthanasia schemes by now. The way you diss everything, life can't be worth living surely?

    As for putting a silly LOL at the end of your constant snipes and snidish remarks aimed at a game you have enjoyed (or not) for 6 years. You shouldn't use your intelligence level to judge others, as some of us have an IQ level much higher than your 10 and see straight through it.

    You are a sad little person.

    My apologies to anyone who thinks my post is rather acidic but this 'gentleman' does nothing to bring any positivity to the forums but just moans and gripes every post he makes. He has had any amount of offers from good members offering to help sort his game in the vain hope he might enjoy it but has taken up none that I know of. If ever there was an epitomy of a whinging pom he is it.

    what is the problem with philstien ?.....i have never made a detrimental post about you on here so why do you feel its completely ok to post snidish remarks  towards me ?..

    maybe a poor upbringing.....

    for you info i do not diss everything just the faults as i see and experience them within the game....its a pity that you love the game so much you feel the need to act poorly against those who see it for what it is......which would indicate to me you have nothing else in your life...

    if you dont like how i expose the game then stop reading my posts and move on with your life :)

    as for you alanti...i have never called you any names or been disrepectful to you,so does it make you feel big calling people poor and stupid?...i do hope you two are the exception rather then the rule to how other played conduct themselves on here.....

     

    maybe the forum mods should take a look and see if posts from the likes of you to should actually be allowed to be posted....remeber if you can't say something nice about some one don't open your mouth :).....

    i would guess that about 60-70% of people who have tried this game gave up because the experienced what i have....would be intresting to see just how many actually persevere in the hope that it becomes "playable"...

    Re: (1) Above:  The problem with your posts is that they seem to always veer to the negative.  You apparently "see" everything through a glass less than 1/4 full.

    Combining that with you stats, which give the appearance that you don't practice enough to imorove lead many of us to feel that you rejoice in attacking everything in the game. And speaking from your limited pool of ignorance. 

    Have you ever mapped out all of your clubs?  Including wedges?  Or even tracked down someone elses mapping and verified how it works for you with the ball you use?  I've found posts by 11BC2 and WalkofLife regarding pitch, punch and full shots that I tested and found work well for me.  Try it.  Have you researched just how much more distance to allow for the various rough lies?

    It is well know that for most people you have to upgrade balls as well as equipment.  Your profile shows you are using the starter ball.  While I have found that i can get some backspin with a 64* Cleveland wedge on "the rock". the ball is nothing like a Cally L33.  Or even a WGT G13-S.  

    You have played 753 Ranked Rounds in just over 6 years (73 months).  An average of 1 every 3 days.  Do you think you can master this game with that little effort?  Like anything to become good it takes PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.

    2)  if you dont like how i expose the game then stop reading my posts and move on with your life :)

    You aren't exposing anything, except you limited committment to improving.  Your expereinces playing don't mirror what most dedicated players have learned.  It's just your opinion.

    (3)  maybe the forum mods should take a look and see if posts from the likes of you to should actually be allowed to be posted....remeber if you can't say something nice about some one don't open your mouth :)..

    You seem to feel that people should be censored.  Yet nothing improper was said to you.  If you can't take the fallout from others in the forum when you post your crazy ideas, don't post.  Obscure theorizing has and will always be fair  game here.

    (4)  i would guess that about 60-70% of people who have tried this game gave up because the experienced what i have....would be intresting to see just how many actually persevere in the hope that it becomes "playable"...

    This is probably true, but only because most people aren't willing to take the time and spend the effort to learn this game.  However, that's no different that anything else in life.

    Inadiquate people will always balme something "outside their control" for their failings.  One final question regarding your comspiracy theories:  Did you get issued a tin foli hat or did you have to make your own?

    Have a nice day,

    I opened 2 surveys today and both were listed as 7 minutes. After the initial question the 1st survey was 25 minutes and the 2nd was 30 minutes.  A  touch of honesty would be appreciated.

    Sorry I have never bought the subservient route of not speaking my mind - nothing actually gets achieved and just causes issues to fester which is unhealthy for all involved.

    and of those 60-70% of people giving up, most are probably gamers looking for an easy game they can clock in 2 weeks........WGT is not that game. Out of those 60-70% who give up, 100% of them have not taken the time to learn the game.

    Real golf has nuances where no two shots are ever the same but the more you practice the better you get and learn....same applies here. Your problems lie within your own inability to learn the game, and the sooner you realize that the better, Your rhetoric is unfounded and my comments aimed towards you were based on that. Come back when you are able to contribute something rather than saying the game is against you. Tin foil hat wearers irk me.

    As for surveys, they return a rate that is not fit for a first world country. But great for people who have the spare time, so they can play this game for free (apart from your time) - not many things are free in life.

    Phred hit the nail on the head on every front btw.

    I found the game to be "playable" from day 1. Now, it took me a while to start scoring decently. But I determined that to be my fault and not the game's. 

    In other words, if the game is going to be decent at all, it's unreasonable to expect that a person can just sit down and excel at it from day 1. And I'm still learning the game. That's the beauty of the game and why it continues to have my interest.

    Simply put: you don't see the game for what it is. You blame your inability to play the game well on the game rather than on yourself. It's as simple as that.
