  WGTChampion:

  in response to player feedback

  In response to player feedback, are you kidding me, who did you talk to. Certainly no one I know or even played. This is a total money grab from WGT. 

  Like many other players, I will NOT be spending anymore  $ on this game. 

  This is a very very poor upgrade.

  lol there's no way on god's green earth that players were suggesting 1 hole matches. Not 1 single chance.  Seems crazy that there wouldn't atleast be an option on how many holes you could play? 1 hole is just stupid.  Waste a pass for 23 pts???? come on really?? Have honestly never ever heard 1 person say, or talk about that they wished the matches were shorter? makes zero sense.  Can honestly say in my 1 years time wgt has not made a single change that people applauded.

  Add me to the list of players who hate this new format. I always laugh when a company says "we made this change due to customer demands", or "employee" requests (i.e. my company taking away benefits while spinning it as a good thing). Terrible new format. Please consider getting in your way-back machine and undoing this mess.

  Please, please, PLEASE change the format back.  The new one is just plain awful.  1 hole matches?  Really?  No, no, NO.  Please don't ruin an otherwise great game.

  I like the ability to recover from a bad shot myself hence why i like the 9 hole rounds better.  but I fail to see how shortening the holes is a money grab. 

  Enlighten me. Hopefully you aren't spending money on silver coins...

  The only thing one hole matches improve is apparel pack return rates. can get more packs in 30 minutes. 

   

  My guess is that may have been the complaint. 

   

  The tiebreaker is nice. But i can see why they did it. WGT always gets their vig. But it's silver coins and I never buy those anyway. so big deal. doesn't really matter to me.

  I must say that after my initial post on this subject, my distaste for the format has only intensified.  With the limited time to even have a chat with players i haven't had one positive comment on the change.  And speaking of chat,  I was able to form friendships with players and now you can barely say GG. Which in and of itself is funny as you arent really able to say Good Game as its really a shoot-out not a game.  Not sure of your player feedback but I did a search on this forum and could not find a comment let alone a poll indicating players wanting a shorter, tie breaker, format.  But you have some here going the other way.  Create more rooms with this format and change it back.  IMHO you've gone the wrong direction.
