    It makes the game more "realistic".  Haven't you ever been playing a round with some friends and one of them farts really loud right when you swing? :-P

    I'm new here, but I'm guessing the reason they don't spend time trying to fix it is because people keep spending money on a daily basis even though they know the meter is the way it is, and fixing it might cause them to have to spend less money, so why fix something that makes you more money if it's not hurting your amount of userbase...

    Hope his WGT name wasn't SIMOVOICE .... lol.

    For this reason, I don't change too often my status while I'm playing....

    I think now it's the only way not to "disturb" my friend's meter ...

    WGT has made it quite clear that they've made the effort to put products in place to the best of their abilities to make the game as enjoyable as possible.  They've also made it quite clear that it's not their servers or flash program, it's the user's PC. 

    So, why fix what's not broke?  Revenue is still being generated despite playability issues for members.  I can tell you from personal experience, when I started playing on my laptop with the Latency Fix installed and using Chrome with nothing else open I only get 1-2 meter freezes/skips per round at the most. 

    I do however get the occasional round where the meter is a mess.  There's no doubt in my mind that despite any efforts made on the members part that meter issues will still exist.  This is a real-time server-based game.   Given the popularity of the game at some point congestion becomes an issue whether WGT admits it or not.  Pretty much every server-based application out there has congestion issues.

    Yep, shanked it!  Had it not been for that I'd have probably won the tournament.  Once also, just when I was starting my downswing someone rang a bell behind me.  Again, shanked it - lost ball!

    Sorry Tess, back to the point of the post, hopefully WGT will listen to one of the more high-profile players here.

    Its not a meter issue as such, its a conflict when a friend moves in the window at a certain time during the swing,And it is getting worse,When you are in a game the friend list activity needs to be frozen,
