    misstery:

    There was a low level legend last year who won a whole heap of stuff and was top of the earnings table for some time.

    although he hasn't played since last summer his name still appears in the top 100 Legend leaderboard. He appears at number 75 and quit at level 83. (http://www.wgt.com/forums/p/79204/489258.aspx#489258)

    Maybe they just find the game too easy and move on to something more challenging.

    You know what is interesting, I was looking through some of the tournaments the player you referenced participated in and there were MANY sub-90 level Legends who were posting Top 5 and even Top 3 scores. I suspect that is probably because there were a lot less players in the Legend tier and many of them probably hadn't gotten to Level 90 yet.

    Well, unless WGT has changed the programming of the game since, I would say that what you provided here demonstrates that sub-90 players can definitely post winning scores. It's rare but you've proven that it can and does happen.....unless that player was one of them there 'cheats'  <----just kidding  : )

    Alot of the top players were turning in those scores and winning at that level as well, but as there still playing there all 90 plus level now, as would that player be if he still played every day.

    So, the BIG question is: Is there something built into the game that affords a different level of "favor" once a certain level of  play is reached?

     

    Hey, I can assure you there are absolutely no deviations after reaching level 100, so you'd better get some xp drinks.

    If you pay 100 credits to play the Ready-Go, and win 125 credits for finishing in 10th or 11th place...then you just profited 25 credits.

     

    only assuming you played with starter balls

    If there is such a thing as graduated deviation, I would certainly hope that it is non-existent by Level 100 !!

    By the way, CONGRATS on reaching 100. Just curious, how much XP does that require ?

    Yeah, that seems to be the case.
