CT, here it is why:
• nearly every 4some game (alternate f.e.) will not finish, because people unable to relog
• if U play 18 holes single, u will have at least 2 times when meter runs through, taking ur ball to the right, in water or deep ***. U will lose 4 strokes at least, and at least one ball.
• I wrote several times to WGT on that issue in the last 6 weeks - guess what? Right, no answer. If I would handle my clients like WGT does, I would be out of business...
• this game is built in "Flash", a software Steve Jobs refused to have on ipads and iphones, because it is full of "bugs". Adobe, the publisher, stopped developing "Flash" officially in 2011, 5 years ago...
• I have sustainable knowledge of IT technologies. I played this game in LAN-mode (ethernet direct), not WLAN, with a wired mouse (not a wireless one), using 7 different browsers, including flash friendly ones like Stainless or Maxthon, clearing browser history and caches after each game.
• within the top 200 ranked, i know my skills and my own failures. Have made 665 "friends" here, and people describe me as friendly, warm-hearted and encouraging. I play alternate with master level folks, encouraging them and giving them hints on green speed or club selection, if they want.
• WGT does not take care of game performance. The old owners were focussing on gadgets and silly add-ons like sounds, developing power was mainly focussed on mobile platforms (tablets). The new owners do not care at all, they just want to transit the software to their Top Golf fun parks.
• many, many players left in the last 2 months without notice, being fed up with the way WGT handles issues. The only "answer" of WGT is more promotions, more clash games, more discount if U buy credits, and so on.
• if it would be my company, I would listen to my customers. Work hard on game experience, getting rid of "fancies", getting back to the state of solid, which was around 18 months ago (when everything was fine, game was nearly bug free). But they don't care...
Why shall I? This game is no longer based on skill, but on luck, when and how the "glitches" happen... I lost many games due to glitches recently, and nearly never could finish an alternate game, which takes a lot of time and then is just a waist of time...
Truly disappointed of a leisure experience, which was great for many years, but now it is only a "joke", and a real bad one...
Cheers, Kylander
