Perhaps the main point of alpenpirat's should be reviewed. Does WGT have the right to keep a long time player who plays mostly alternate shop games from moving to a higher tier because he does not meet the established criteria for advancement? Further his argument that because the game the game does not play well he should be advanced.
Obviously WGT has the right to set standards. As a player who has put a certain amount of time and EFFORT into this game I would be appalled if WGT decided to discount my efforts by letting players buy higher tier status. Alpenpirat, please think about the reality of what you are asking WGT to do. You arguments are not well thought out, but perhaps you could appeal to the company and make a large offer to them. Just remember that a Premier Membership costs $180.00 for a year and a phone chat with MisterWGT costs $1000.00 Call him and make an offer.
