alosso:It's THE GRIND, one of the company's secrets to business success.
it is definitely a grind - but players in the forum appeared to work together to unlock the mystery of that "secret"
but if most people dug deep enough to learn all those nuances - like the fact it will take them over 1.5 million XP just to unlock L97 irons that they will feel competitive with - they may not feel all to motivated to start or they will be more motivated.
but it is not easy and it is possibly a significant hurdle that players need to figure out and learn how to work thru - and even motivated players end up getting impatient and spending credits or money just so they don't feel like they are at a disadvantage when other players already have the best clubs.
I think I noticed it might have taken a WGT employee and it is their job - to reach L85 in 6 months and that is only around 300,000 XP okay if someone is going to be ticked off - I think the number shown in one of the forum posts is 298,215 XP required to unlock L85 clubs.
The illusion levels goes fast is somewhat misleading and likely done intentionally so people starting out feel as though you are leveling up fast - when in fact the points required also increase exponenially and get much harder the further you get.
A bit like dangling a carrot in front of the horse only to keep stretching it further and further away as the horse assumes they are getting closer - for that reason - I can actually understand the frustration players end up voicing because unless they research and learn what is involved - it can feel like being blindsided.
