DodgyPutter:
The calling out of someone to play for a small amount of credits to you and what you think will be a lot to them doesn't seem to me the most mature way to debate either.
If it stayed about a tournament then fair enough but it's become something else.
I didn't come here to debate anything. I regret posting. Just like the last time I posted something in the suggestion section. The trolls who live to argue in a forum came flocking.
I take it you're talking about the XP stuff, was I trolling in that thread? Does it maybe depend on what my opinion is? I note that Jo seemed to calm things down but some were reluctant to let go even to the bitter end. I did also see where the challenge to a game idea originated, lol it would be :-)
xAmazingTrace: But you have made it abundantly clear that you will give people your opinion to their OP and argue no matter what it is about without being asked for it. That's what you enjoy doing. I enjoy playing this game and getting better at it. Not just talking about it.
You mentioned in the other thread that this isn't your first forum yet once again you post expecting no replies. Those supporting you I'm guessing aren't trolling. They are however in this case misleading and inaccurate imo and that's where any responses of mine, that you object to, comes from. You even seem to object now to my response to your OP but you didn't in your second post.
Your threads, cheaper levelling up and keep the premiums big prizes to 1,2+3, sum up what multi's, restarts and baggers need; better equipment and big prizes with few rr's. So in the end I don't agree with either as I don't think they're good for the game and I guess fairness (to those competing with the cheats) seems important to me. I feel I have a right to respond, whatever your intensions are.
Before one of the CK start, I'm not saying you are any of these things and, more than that, you look to me to be tiering up as quickly as you can.
It's not true that I respond to every thread nor is it true that I always enjoy responding. I wish wgt could get rid of all the cheats so they weren't a consideration in framing tournaments, I wish they clearly defined, in public, if things like coaching were cheating, exactly what is included as "selling credits" and then I wouldn't be debating it and pilloried for doing so.
But because I discuss the game doesn't mean I don't enjoy playing it as much as you do, maybe I'm not as driven to get better but it really isn't just the best that enjoy it. I'm tempted to think that trying to make money out of it leads to just the opposite, like with some jobs.
There has been a few mentions of gifting from the CK but there's only one person I know in this thread that's gifted for years, to players outside his club, to those who simply need stuff, no sign up or payment of any kind required, and he hasn't mentioned it.
xAmazingTrace: A very wise man told me, "if they aren't asking questions, they aren't looking for answers." The question I asked in the OP was rhetorical. And certainly not directed at any uninfluential forum groupies.
Lol did the very wise man and previous experience not tell you anything about about rhetorical questions in an open forum.
It's not the first time you've mentioned influence, well you're right here in that I'm completely uninfluential within this game, I'm not sure what I'm meant to be a groupie of, the forum itself? I do look there, and post, is that enough?
As I mentioned before, you said in your second post "Someone I know did reach out to WGT about it." So you clearly do have access to people with influence.
If you hadn't told me different I'd have thought the CK knew this was coming and asked wgt not to do it and got nowhere there. Next try, drum up some support in the forum which would have been fair enough. But, of course, that's not what happened.
I've said why I like the change at most tiers, I would agree there could be a desire/need for a top 3 pay-out, open, tournament.
