pdb1: There is no denying that this has hit WGT hard . Those of you that do not think so . Are not being realistic .
I would bet my paycheck that this is getting round the clock 24 / 7 attention .
I am not so sure, maybe I am not realistic, but the WGT track record revolves around revenue, not the users ability regarding the functionality of the site, or even to play the game free of glitches.
I am not saying there is no correlation between the two, there clearly is, however unless WGT see the direct connection, fixes become secondary to revenue raising.
I cannot comment on the previous clash statistics - I do not look at them at all as I generally avoid playing when they are on and have zero interest in them. However, the general feeling is these have been on the wain, but again, I have no stats on that, but WGT's attitude is milking some players is better than milking none.
But if the engineers (cough cough) had been working around the clock on a fix, then why do we have another clash on? Even these take some programming, and would it not be a moratorium on ALL development until fixes are found and tested (hmmm, that QA process that is not evident or missing from the WGT vocabulary).
I agree with your post otherwise, and that of others, but you are being way to lenient on WGT for giving them any credit. Actions are far stronger than words.....I have seen zero action, and virtually zero words on the progress. Such are the joys of a virtual monopoly........
