TopShelf2010:
And what if you were one of the players invited to this event?
Would you still be bitching and moaning about the process?
I'm sorry... all this whining and complaining seems rather childish. Like the DUFF that didn't get a date for her senior prom.

You sound pretty limited TopShelf2010 so I'll try to help to understand what being open minded means.
1st, if I was invited to be part of it, there's a very little chance I would be able to go so I'm not feeling like I'm missing any date or any prom.
2nd, What do you read there boss?
My posts are not to serve my own interest but to find some fairness I think is due to the COMMUNITY (yeah, just few more than 10 millions who probably and averagely play for a little more than $1/day) who I think deserves more transparency than this since this same COMMUNITY (Yes! EVEN YOU!!!) is what DOES this game...Agreed TopThing2010?? (try to imagine what would be the game if the community was composed by Young46 and you only and maybe, I repeat MAYBE will come in your mind a sense of respect for the "FEW" others who are around today)
My remarks (or bitching, or moaning, whatever you wanna call it) are about the communication. This event has been played worldwide the 1st 2 months of the year, for the best interest of WGT (promotional, revenue, fun, interactions...) Now WGT changes the rules of an event that earned its success based on the numbers (the hundreds who played the qualifiers during these 2 months, not only the 10 who qualified each month) without feeling the need to explain to these same hundreds of players why and how? Or even inform in advance, at the beginning of the year when they announced their events schedule. Looks a little autocratic and disrespectful to me!
Now, if you want to promote the game by inviting 4 players of your choice in Vegas and have a mini tournament, fine...don't see any problem with that. Just call it whatever you want but not the name of an existing event played by so many and is completely different of what you intend to do.
Finally, my words are addressed to WGT, as a member of this community, and they are just asking for more transparency and a good communication. I don't think I've mentioned TopShelf2010 once in any of them.
You want to serve the community? Just Hide a little bit buddy! Quit trolling the forum, trying to sound smart or great for the game everytime somebody has an issue with it, especially when they make sense. You too often sound pathetic in your responses and you don't help yourself either.
