I think we can talk about this subject forever until Wgt changes how things are done.
I remember when I first started playing the game and was thinking...wow, this game is hard and fantastic at the same time(still think that...lol). Back then the clubs were not as powerful as the ones we have now.
I really don't care what clubs people have in their bags, what Tier they are on, or what Level.. The only thing I don't like is when they abuse it... L90 Pro's(when L90 you should be good enough to be at least TM), Am's with averages of 60 or below, Hacks with 10 ranked rounds shooting 28/30 (I'm jealous...lol) and cleaning up on all the comps to win heaps of credits.
It's just the way it is nowadays because they are allowed to get all the good clubs when they reach a certain Level. Such is life, if your allowed to do something..so be it.
I think, keep the present Tier System(maybe a new tier at the top, but that's another story), but make it when you change Tiers, then the clubs will unlock instead of Level unlocking. This could also slow down the Multi-Accnts too. Instead of playing 100's of practice and/or multi player games to get the xp points up...you need to play heaps of Ranked Stroke play games to get promoted and unlock better clubs.
Not too late to start
