Couldn't agree more with this, the amount of games now required to get to that club you've been craving is absoloutley ridiculous.
Take away any conspiracy theories and questioning any monitary motives and look at what is left after this fix, I've personally played about 4 months and glitched before every round (about 5 every day) and reached level 91,are you really expecting new/current players to play about 1 year before reaching the ability to buy top level clubs?
Someone needs to review the amount of xp requirements or this game becomes 'pay to win' via xp boosts/premier or a grind it out chore.
First, it's not ridiculous. Not even close.
Indeed, it's no longer simply a function of games played as much it is days played. When they redid the CDP bonus that changed the calculus. Playing 1 round (or even 1 hole) every day became much more important than playing multiple rounds each day.
In other words, a person could spend 5 minutes a day and get to Level 90 by the end of the year without difficulty. No doubt playing multiple rounds helps. But that should really be a secondary concern, if one it truly concerned about leveling up.
And second, you do realize (as has been pointed out) that the glitch has only been around for the last 2 years, yes? Additionally, as has also been pointed out, the CDP bonus used to cap out at 880 XPs.
Now, this isn't an argument of "Well, back in the day..." It's to point out that the glitch was the anomaly. People are treating it like the norm. It wasn't. That is to say, WGT decided a long time ago where the levels would be. What's the logic for redoing those? Someone got their toy taken away and they're upset?
I really don't see the issue with it taking a year to get to levels where the best clubs are. As I mentioned in another post, it takes that long to learn all the courses. What prevents a player from really scoring well is as much course knowledge as it is equipment.
Simply put: if a player has the best equipment but has little idea how to manage a course or how best to play a particular hole, a player is just not going to score well.
