Hi Nik, hope all is well with you.
I think it's all about the people that have been here for years and the more recent recruits, and/or the high level and lower level players. Simply put, in both cases the latter will spend more.
The best players wont spend anything as they will win the credits for anything they want, players down a bit, like us, will spend on balls and maybe the occasional piece of equipment but have most of what they need by now.
The money for wgt is in low level and new players, wgt hope they have many upgrades to come. So what they don't need is them finding the game too difficult and giving it up, hence caps to hit the ball further, red tee, etc etc. It tends to be players that have played for longer that like uel, and it would be difficult for those at a low level, so the line will be, and was, "people are not interested in uel" but really "it's only those that don't buy much" is probably more true. The Clash and competitions like it will be the ones to flourish.
Anyway that was roughly what I meant, the more experienced players are asked to use their time and credits to get the game working better but we're not being told what the game will be. What will it matter if the green dots are off if all that's being played is competitions where getting numbers to play and using passes are the most importatant factors?
