Players who have Guardians as their main character are fairly happy that the LI system is changing, because it means we will finally have something to replace shield use after years of waiting. As a yellow Guard though, it seems like the new system might as well take out our yellow line tree. No light damage legacy, Flash of light still very underwhelming for lvl caped, players, and no aoe legacy. Yellow line is meant for aoe and light dmg, and also debuffs. Most bosses ignore half of our debuff mechanics, our armor debuff, doesn't scale well, who knows if the snare mechanic ever works. It is just super discouraging that one of the primary and oldest classes steeped in lore (based off of Glorfindel) is always treated like an after thought and inconvenience.

Please work on polishing what we have after the update instead of plowing on while leaving broken classes and abandoned systems (mounted combat, big battles, skirmishes, missions, allegiance system, pvp) languishing and forgotten in the past. The game is fantastic, but will die a death of 1,000 cuts. Look at the crazy irrelevant gear in the Ettenmoors for a good snap shot LOTRO.
