@2: I'm sorry again, do you really wish to have even more top-level players who cant play, because on lower levels no instances are done? make more scaleabel = less content for lower characters...
@3/4: you are not really happy with the game you play actually, arent you?
@5: I'm happy we have landscape events with the warbands... probably there will be more of this within a new area.. but as you know it will be some time until we get a new zone, I dont think something like that should be spent time on atm, it might be a topic after february...
@6: Here I totally agree with you, but I guess the moors are the major thing VIP-only atm.. so many ppl would stop paying if this falls... Maybe better accept it as a fact... if many ppl stop paying, the game will also die in some other way, as development needs resources :-)
@7: whatever you wish to do.. but as a player on a RP-server I'm afraid of this
@8: YES! I would like to see more of the bug-fixing... but as you maybe can see, for doing more bug-fixing, other stuff like releasing new stuff and instances will slow down... as the majority (in this threat e.g.) is calling for new content or proposing other changes to the game to be made... well... you think this will help the bug-fixing to increase?

Have a nice time if you re online in the world of lotro,
I enjoy the game a lot recently, mainly due to the nice graphics in Rohan, so I'm quite happy..

Yours
No one expects that we all have the same taste and opinion about some parts of this game. My comments:

1. I didn't said Lotro doesn't have awesome lore and story line and i really cant see how some improvements to currently dull kinship system could hurt that and you picked out only the wars?!? what about kin specific content, more improvement to make players run kin raids and content... there are lots of details that could be improved
Have you ever tried moors full fraid vs craid (lets keep it to 1vs1 raid)? It's a rubber-band joke for most of the players even with strong PC's and fast internet connection, and again moors is VIP only right?

2. Why in the world would be scalable instance unavailable to lower players, its scalable! and why that would produce more top-level players who cant play?!? How often are old instances run on your server? On the server i am, maybe a few in the whole month... What is wrong with, for example, lvl 85 RoF with new loot or other old instances and new loot tables, ppls would have something to do other than power leveling their alts for crafting, rebilding Hytbold for empty deeds and killing 3 warbans once a day (last two can be done in 30mins)

3/4. If i didn't like this game i wouldn't write this post, you are missing the point, its naive to think that you can keep same mechanics for years and that only new content will satisfy the player, you should read suggestions forum thread more often and you can see the bad feedback in this topic as well. Even some deep lore/story players i know started to whine about the lotro dullness in some parts

5. You are happy with 3-4 warbands that are worth killing, ok, nice if you are. At least they could make that fights to require more players and some tactics

6. I bet that the vip-moors part is not the biggest part of the lotro profit, turbine store is

7. RP would remain intact, we would get bigger pool of players to play with

8. Should i care about bugs vs new content/instance cluster/misc, NO, why not, because it should not be concern of any player, we are not sitting in developer team do we?, its something that comes with this type of applications, and has to be fixed. How long are we waiting for Draig run to be fixed? And after the RoR update they managed to break some other old instances. Does that make any sense to you?

Just because Lotro have unique story line it doesn't mean it have only one type of players right?, there are deep lore players, solo players, raiders, PvP player and you have to keep them all happy to make this work imho. And spliting instance cluster in two parts is a bad joke from Turbine.
