People and/or Games Dropping

  I'm sick and tired of the game freezing up mid meter and the like BUT... what really cooks my goose is the unsportsmanlike individuals who lock the game up for what seems to be a duration simply due to an errand drive/put/chip... THEY cost me passes and great rounds, once in a blue moon. 

  POOR SPORTS, there are several words i'd like to say but , think of other people!

  We can't change people but we can change our behaviour.

  1) Play with friends or CC mates - these relations hinder quitting.

  2) Use your passes in solo games - no quitting, much less discons, quicker resutls.

  And, BTW, the CDP will be awarded on the first shot, so one major slice of XPs will be transferred from your coveted CC passes no matter what....

  Second And: Don't buy CC passes. NEVER!

  All great advice! But more should be done. A person that quits, forfeits or disconnects for whatever reason should be penalized. Maybe they should lose a significant amount of XP points & those points could be distributed among the players that finish. I can think of better ways but that would take money out of WGT's pocket.

  Also when you block a player they should never come up in the lobby when you start a game. There are so many of these low-lifes it gets very hard to keep track of them all.

  I really enjoy this game & have spent a small fortune here. I wish WGT would have a little consideration by making the game better for their good customers.

  The problem with all this that you don't know -- and (apparently) neither does WGT -- whether a player quit or just suffered a disconnection. I've lost more than a few games to Internet dropouts...in fact, just lost one (on mobile) when the Internet dropped out right after I'd birdied the first hole.

  The only times (very few) I've actually quit were due to something happening here that demanded my attention and were more important than a game. But all disconnects are treated the same for reputation purposes, and WGT has said many times that's not going to change.

  I agree with several posts above,but no one mentions ever getting booted from games lately for no apparent reason..WGT,are you doing this to people whom you dont like?

  Mum is the original English shortened form of mother although I believe it is spelt mom in americanese. Missing an apostrophe is not the greatest grammatical crime though the misspelling of Vanguard may well be considered worse.
