WGTicon:We always wlecome ideas how to implement a system, but it's important to note that most users (and it's fine) only think about their own cause and fail to see big picture how it affects others or weaknesses the system has.
That's not a fair comment. Of course, people have always screamed how unfair it is for TMs to get the great balls and clubs, and how it puts legends at a disadvantage. Since, proved to be rot when you look at the monthly earnings leaderboard. But on most major things on WGT there have been many interesting threads about how to improve the game.
Sometimes WGT listens, sometimes not, sometimes the suggestions are impractical. But to say that most member are only interested in how any changes affects them is wide of the mark.
We ask for more consultation on the development of this game. It's when WGT doesn't consult it's membership that it causes problems for itself. Some examples:
The huge tier change last year, BANG out of the blue, what discord did that cause. No consultation.
The change of payouts in RGs. No consultation. And you dug your heels in on that one. You came on here and told people to suck it up because it wasn't changing back. That nearly lost you a lot of members, until you saw sense.
The Tru Golf tie up. What the hell is that? You have two premium courses coming on line. I know people pleaded for more courses and WGT were worried about losing out to TW, but come on. Again no consultation.
Perhaps, if you did consult, you could make informed decision instead of half-cocked ones that upset people.
IMHO WGT nearly screwed the whole thing up at the beginning of 2011, and the two new courses saved your sorry butts.
Listen to your membership. It's not hard. We pay your wages.
