The biggest change? The re-investment(or lack thereof) that gets put into the game and support of differing play styles. These days it's a rather under whelming and very forgettable title.

there is also the fact that ma'am isn't as ubiquitous as sir depending on region.

Speaking as someone who has both served and grew up in the south sir/ma'am is somewhat ingrained. When traveling...

To the Op please don't confuse improper balance with challenging content two very different things.

Challenge = more cerebral, situational awareness, pre planning, mechanics, a reason to run the...

@ Yula I would respectfully disagree that raids are the most expensive content they could produce. Revamps, I wonder how much that cost em and is still costing......


EDIT but you are correct,...

While I agree the removal of the stat caps was probably one of the top 2 or 3 bad decisions introducing imbalances and invalidating older content. However, at this late date, re-introducing them at...

Along with the above if EB's are indeed meant to "replace" traditional group content then they need to scratch many of the same itches said content did. A fairly often cited complaint of battles is...

To me the more relevant question is what % of pay-ers participate in group content and/or raids and to what degree do they pay. I always thought that gating access to some group content particularly...

sadly true, I think a fair number of people had given up on LOTRO when it became glaringly obvious they couldn't/wouldn't produce something as basic to mmo core design as viable group content. The...

Meta data is a pretty nifty tool, but like any tool some things it's good for some not so much. What and when, MD is your guy; the why? That takes a little leg work. Going by pure meta data I'm...

My 2 bits, not that it will change anything but you asked.

As far as "endgame" improvements, The myth that BB's or Epic B's in anyway constitutes a solid form of group play needs to be looked at....

Yes, sorry if I came across as WB is the source and font of all evil (it may be or may not be I know not :) I only meant any change NOW would only occur IF Warner sanctioned it. And considering WB...

As much as Mr. Campbell's return to LOTRO is appreciated, the replacement was far to late imo. He does not operate in a vacuum with unlimited freedom of maneuver for several reasons.

- Before...

True I think anyone who found homes elsewhere would follow a trust but verify approach. But just the interest could turn into something if it was reciprocated.

Yes just a statement of intent would draw healthy interest from the market again. Any buzz at all would be beneficial.

Some believe, rightly or wrongly, justified or not, that grinning and bearing it via running otherwise unpopular content will later show up in a Meta Data report as "hey they love it" Odd the ideas...

I vote raids, Preferably one without a vertical progression reward, not confident the games capable of any more buff buttons. however if traditional rewards are all that's possible, I'm willing to...

Witch is the point I've been trying to get across, scaling anything is merely addressing a symptom, not a causative effect; fix the causative and see what your bottom line does. This isn't a dig...

Last thing about progression and I'll shut-up yay right?
Lateral progression isn't only about holding down creep, in some ways it's most valuable aspect is that unlike vertical witch is gated to a...

I forgot one btw Reputaion

All progression is not vertical, Turbine knows this (sometimes)it's why they have attempted, sometimes successfully, to introduce lateral progression. Some like traits/virtues & skirm solders...

As far as Hytbolt goes I never met anyone that said the loved it not even liked it did meet a couple of Mehs though
However, Hytbolt is a timesink designed as a timesink in a genre of game that...

For examples: Scaled Fornost vamped for the exact reasons you state; skipped normally now by those in the level ranged and farmed it it happens to be the FOTM this week for speed rewards for capped...

It's the new LOTRO community MY play style trumps yours, Even though I'm at level cap I realize there are some who still havn't experienced the content as DESIGNED and INTENDED as well as those who...

What I'm saying is it's the only content in the game that's is still balanced witch makes it one of the few features left that can still draw in new blood that and the IP the f2p model and artwork...

Ok heres the thing about changes to existing content to compensate for rampant inflation of levels and stats. It's a moving target. As we see in all the other scaled content most of the...
