  Just a thought

  If all the leaderboards are low level players, leading with ridiculously low scores;

  Why are they not promoted to the appropriate level to match their scores?

  Well wouldn't that be allowing multi-account cheaters?  The right thing to do in those cases is to kick the player from the game.  As for multiple accounts at one IP address or one computer...WGT needs to reevaluate that policy.  I barely have enough time to play one account.  If someone has 100 accounts and they suck, meaning they never win anything, then who cares?  If anything that's more money in WGT's pockets as that person will keep upgrading their equipment and buying balls.  Let the dude back already.  My God.

  Probably for the same reason every other game developer worries about cheats and exploits.

  worries about cheats and exploits. 

  Hell, I've been cheated, and exploited all my life.

  If you were born in America, so aren't you. Born into slavery of the mecha, meta machine.

  "Go to work, pay taxes", so we can plunder your SS benefits, ect.

  Anyone wishing to know about exploitation, need only look in the mirror, to find a plausible explanation.

  Exhale on the mirror, if there is condensation, you are breathing, ipso facto, you are exploitable...

  There are several reasons why the WGT is wary of possible cheats. The integrity of the game is at risk if there are no rules or no way to police the game. If the standard is that people game the system and honest players cannot win tournaments, the reputation of the game is diminished. 

  The game's possible reputation as being full of cheats would have no bearing on the basic fun factor that draw most players. However it would cause advertisers, the source of the majority of WGT's income, to question if WGT is a good place to put ads. WGT thus needs to protect its reputation.

  The other factor is that credits or prizes that can be won in tournaments or drawings have value. For 165,000 credits someone can get a $250.00 gift card. And think of the stink when the winner of the trip to next years US Open is a known cheater.

  WGT needs to curtail multi-accounts and cheaters. The "how" question is what they need to answer. If it continues to be based on the easy solution of one account for one computer then WGT needs an appeals process that works quickly. Good luck with that.
