  As for me, I'm sticking with the Man-Dressed-In-Black. :)

  You wouldn't happen to be looking for a man with six fingers would you? ;)

  You killed my father....prepare to die

  Someone had mentioned about gifting only Hack equipment.  This makes sense to me because I'd imagine the intent of the gift is only to get someone started, not to act as a permanent supply depot for top quality equipment.  I can also imagine that feature would be abused to no end by the nefarious crowd with multiple accounts just trading everything back and forth.

  You can still set someone up with Raptures and GI-S2 balls and they can have quite a good time and be able to score well.  Ask Moli.

  ....and Windows7 was my idea!

  Hey Jim,

  I to looked for the new gifting feature and could not find it.

  Jim, everyone has seen me in these forums the past month including WGTalex with a Sunday red shirt on my avatar, that JTxpress made.

  I'm over it. It was a big coincidence how I asked JTxpress to make me a avatar shirt with the Sunday red, and WGT comes out with it, for 750 Cr nonetheless.

   

  Play well.

  You can gift stuff in the Pro Shop.  Just go in like you are buying it for yourself, but make sure to click the GIVE AS GIFT button instead.  After that you can specify to whom and send a little message if you want.

  If you go to Ready-Go tournaments that are already Started and click on one of the Leaderboards, it only shows the first 21 places and there is no scroll bar.  That's consistent for any leaderboard you look at.

  Also, Ready-Go Tournaments should show the deadline for completion on the website and in the game client.  Is the deadline exactly 24 hours from when the tournament fills?  What time did the tournament fill and when did my timer start?

  Lastly, in the Game Client, the Hole Locations field in Ready-Go's are empty.

  Not really, Nivlac. The new Rapture set is only available for Pro+, and therefore cannot be gifted. The old Rapture set is snow of yesterday, wouldn't recommend it to anyone at this point.

  While today's product update brought many good things, and the fabulous news of variable pin positions (relegating Kiawah to a throwaway course, I'm afraid, until it will likewise offer variable pin locations), it also brought the disaster of the botched reputation tracking, and the very disappointing implementation of gifting and avatars outfits.    Tell me, whom could it hurt if I could send a sleeve of GI-SD balls to any Pro or Master player? I'd send one to SweetiePie because she writes 19th century prose in this frequently crude forum. So why are we prevented from doing that? It defies common sense; it's mind-boggling.

  Not really, Faterson.  An Amateur or Pro with a set of first-gen raptures and a better ball has a much better chance to compete than the same person with Starter Clubs.  So just because it doesn't help you doesn't mean it doesn't help a lot of others.

  It's not always about what you want, it's about what serves the general purpose.  You're willing to fore-go the consequences just so your personal whims can be met.  That sounds kinda selfish.

  As I've already mention, gifting would be abused.  I've already thought of it, so that means a lot of other folks have too.  It would be naive to think that wouldn't happen.  The preclusion of you being able to send a pack of GI-SD also prevents multiples from totally abusing the system.  You need to try to think in terms of "everyone", not just "me me me".

  Well I am quite disappointed in the avatar clothing choices. I agree with those that wanted to be able to choose what shirt/pants/shoe combination not some prefab avatar.  I don't want YOU picking my colour schemes. I want to pick my own. Very Very disappointed in the way you implemented this. Sorry I won't be spending any money.
