the Hobinigans were a nice change to the daily routine,
but it suffered the general problems that lotro has today, which (will) made the game unenjoyable in a long run:
a huge grind with a very small reward and the inclusion of the RNG which results into even more grind and frustration.

only disclaimer i have to the game itself is that the chickens gets to easily stuck in corners and walls
(not to mention that the game is over if it gets kicked out of the field)

the game itself was fun, and i would be happy to see a permanent field with token reward in the settlements. ^^
but i guess this will not happen...
