Confused by new Map items

[Chiot]

I have already pointed out that Turbine did not need to have the fixes for these inconveniences cost extra either. Blizzard will fix their game to remove the inconveniences and not charge extra for it. Turbine on the other hand will apparently deliberately leave them in, and even create inconveniences in the first place, then charge extra to "fix" them.

In WOW, I can easily move hordes if items between my characters. There is no need for shared storage. However, if I want even more storage, I can create a bank alt with a guild and have access to more storage than I could ever need. Blizzard does not charge me a penny for it. It is a part of the game that anyone can do.

Turbine has deliberately left the in game mail as an annoying farce in comparison, with the option to purchase 20 shared slots of storage. 20 freaking slots lol.

One mail in WOW can have 12 attachments and be mailed off in seconds. And, there are mail boxes everywhere. In WOW if you are in town you log out instantly, not the annoying 25 seconds in LOTRO. With a bank alt in WOW, you can share anything you want between characters far faster than even the best option in LOTRO. In fact, in WOW I could log out of my main, log into my bank alt, mail items to my main, log out of my bank alt and back into my main before the first character could even finish logging out in LOTRO. Not to mention, my main does not even have to go to the vault, as there are mailboxes everywhere. On top of these facts, the best and slower option in LOTRO costs extra.(????)

This is only one example of a deliberate annoyance in LOTRO.

Unfortunately, it appears that LOTRO is filled with fans that will make excuses for Turbine. Now, why on earth would Turbine fix anything when there are so many players apparently willing to be fleeced and tell Turbine how "fair" they are while fleecing them.

Exactly. LotRO now has inconvenience as a design strategy, with specific remedies for those inconveniences available for cash in the store.

I fully expect to see a mailbox enhancement. Create a new mail with one slot for one item (as the current system stands), plus 5 extra slots all with the little TP logo on them. Want to be able to send an additional item permanently? 495 TP. Plus another 495 for each additional slot, until you can send a total of 6 items whenever you want. This may or may not be on a per account basis.
