Im not crazy about the LIs. I want to like them, but they leave me feeling bleh. That and the fact that most of them look like they were designed at 3 in the morning on a cup of milk.
I would much rather have something like Runes of Magic's aggregator which allows plays to skin weapons and armour with the appearance of another... we dont need such a thing for armour, but Id like to be able to keep some of the really pretty shields and spears/javelins instead of having to toss them out because they outlived their usefulness...

I think your expectation of timescales in these matters is a bit off.

I think your perception of how long these have been major issues, with massive amounts of feedback is a bit off.

Legendary item unhappiness hasn't been a problem since Mirkwood, its been a problem since part way through Moria. There has been at least a solid year of people talking about their displeasure with Legendary items.

Sure, they are finally (in a pretty circumspect way) admitting that maybe people want them to do something about it. But it's not like these issues are brand new.

Saying "be patient, they know its a problem" is like telling someone who has already died of thirst "be patient, I know you are dehydrated but water is probably on it's way, the people with the water know you are thirsty."

Yeah, that's sort of where I was going with my line of thought. It's obvious that massive resources were put into developing the skirmish system, and as a result there was a lack of resources to adequately consider & develop the SoM LI system and raid. I'm just cautioning against people clamoring too much over "silly" (yes, I realize that's just one person's opinion) things like housing and festivals when there is an obvious shortage of resources.

I understand your point, however you really aren't in charge of what things 'everyone' considers important. Sorry you don't like the answers but don't say that folks don't have the right to have other views of the game and which pieces are important.
