Please don't swing the "I've known too many authors" thing around in here. You may seriously, seriously embarrass yourself.
Your hobbyhorse is yours. Ride it off into the sunset. But your foot-stomping attitude toward "lore-breaking" and those who are willing to accept the game on its own merits is absolutely unnecessary. Register your complaint with Turbine and move on. I won't make you try to accept the game as perfectly consistent with your vision of Middle Earth, and you can stop trying to demean the enjoyment of others.
I was under the impression that, in the few direct exchanges I've had with Sapience in this thread that I have, to some extent, done just that--taken my complaint up with Turbine.
As for the rest... /shrug Those are your opinions and you are welcome to them. I would considered saying more, but I try to avoid ad hominem arguments.
