dedBuNNy: Auto-dinging.... lmao.... go right ahead.
Right so mouse enabled or otherwise this one you say is useless I gathered.
You are way up on IT and I am way down. In your opinion is the game halfway sensibly able to combat cheating or not, and would you say cheating is rife? No need to list any other methods just whether they are out there, easy to get and / or being used much ???
There's no way to stop people from using auto mouse clicking software, it runs outside of browser, and makes no difference whether game in client window or whatever.
Point is, with what WGT is doing with the meter that type of app is all but useless and as I said I have no problem playing against anyone using one. In fact against someone with a smooth meter and top gear the 'cheater' is at a disadvantage in my opinion.
CE is another matter... I don't dik around with it, but it's designed to break into Flash based games, debug etc... WGT programmers can, if they're skilled enough, lock down assets n such. They certainly should not come in here and mention anything, as they don't anyway.
There are other thing you can do with the newer mice now as far as macro's go, but again, if it's in an effort to 'auto' anything it's not going to work, not reliably.
WGT seems to be going the way of almost totally making things like wind, the break almost random at times.
I'm all for random speeds on greens, that alone is more realistic. Like no way you should be able to shoot to the same spot on a green 12 hours later and have it putt the same way. The only thing with that is, you have to have some sort of indicator, WGT has to have something in place telling players green conditions if they're going to get more creative with varying the play of the greens more.
It's really too bad they don't have the UEL more fine tuned and working properly, no way it's working the way it should. But if it did that would be great, get rid of EL totally, that would pretty well make cheats obsolete I think, or damn near.
I don't really care anymore..
Personally I don't think there are nearly as many cheaters as people think, my personal opinion is, and one of the mods here all but verified by way of a conversation with one of the players here who was having issues with something, that they can alter individual game environment conditions. I think that yes, there are players who's game environment for whatever reason is setup in a neutral like state, or something like that. I think that's just the way it goes. maybe it's just a byproduct of being a TL for three years, as part of skill level saturation?.. I don't know.
I'm not saying it's a favoritism thing, I'm just saying it seems like it exists in some form or fashion and would partly explain rounds of 53 over and over. Then again, I watched one of the best players ever here have, by his standards, a horrible game the other day, not missed shots, but easy pitches going 20 ft longer than club shoots for... etc.. Shots just going all wrong - has he lost the skills? Seriously doubt that... nope. Just weirdness these days.
