Club clash #86: Emergency Problem

  I just with when WGT took away the "bug" that let you get XP boost after playing custom courses, they would have maybe considered restructuring the XP gains and fix them.

  I still do not understand the logic WGT is trying to make by making a level in the 90's 150,000 to 200,000 XP while maintaining a full round of 18 holes is around 500 XP and 9 holes is around 300 XP (without streak bonus).

  That is an unfathomable amount of rounds to play to grind out a level.

  It's very hard to convince myself to play again and again for such a small reward in the game and I'm inclined to go back to the "one round a day" just to keep my streak going.  The point is to keep people HERE and keep people playing, not turn them into one round a day players.  The XP "bug" encouraged the idea to keep playing.

  I could care less about CC events but for every day leveling and grinding, this change is awful.

  If I could request anything (and as politely as possible), now that the XP bonus has been fixed once and for all, please consider changing the XP system (could slow down leveling before level 50 but speed up leveling in the 90's) and maybe reward more XP for rounds played rather that have XP gains so based on day streak.

  Believe Me, it used to be much worse.

  They used to give us 880 XP for our CDP a day. Now I get 3600 for a 9 hole CDP

  Why did I buy the Premier Membership?  As I said, to save money is the primary reason.  But the bigger related question that was asked was why was I going so hard to get more xp.  The answer to that was to be a good CC member.  For the pride of a long streak of being the "CC of the Week", for leveling our CC up faster and continuing to be the highest level club.  It may sound stupid to some, but it gave me some satisfaction.

  if you think wgt is so bad try this .

  Described as the world’s most boring video game, Penn and Teller created Desert Bus in the early 1990s. You have to drive a bus from Las Vegas to Phoenix in real time and there’s no scenery. Once you complete the 8-hour journey, you receive one point.

  I think Don thought you were referring to Nancy.  There is a 3 month difference there.

  I quit the game from about 2011-2014.  Started it, made an account, maybe got up to level 30 then just got busy with other things.

  In 2014 or 2015 I came back.  I didn't know about the "bug" either (or didn't understand how to get it multiple times) so I'm sure I lost a lot to other players over the last year and a half.

  All I know is it's very slow to make one level in the 90's without keeping your day streak perfect.  I've hit 50 days.  I've hit 80 days.  But something comes up in real life and I miss it (I've quit for a few weeks after that as well).  The penalty for that shouldn't be as severe as it is.

  I don't understand the logic it should be other than "I did it, so you can too", which is petty and not the point.  Why is day streak more important to gaining XP than ACTUALLY PLAYING THE GAME?!?!?  Makes no sense.
