Yes... life is indeed tough for lifers. Indeed, it's agonising to think that you'll never need to worry about purchasing/grinding points for, or renting ALL pre-Moria content or additional (non expansion) zones. And oh.... the woe that must strike deep to the core when you realise you'll never need to spend Turbine Points, or sub, to provide your characters with extra bags slots (save the most recent), swift travel, no gold cap, or trait slots.
Really, the unfairness you endure is the very epitome of injustice. Truly, my heart bleeds for your eternal suffering.

I don't have an issue with lifers, incidentally; I simply have an issue with the self-entitled whining coming from those lifers who feel inadequately compensated for the downtime. Reminds me of a bunch of over-indulged children screaming for sweeties.
I also find the whining generally rather pathetic. OH MY GOD.. you had to find something else to do for two days... *gasp* Oh the tragedy of it. The posts in these forums and those on the LOTRO facebook page would be excellent amo for those morons who try to claim that gaming is hazardous to the health.
As to the points, personally I'm grateful. I went off and did other things, played some old games when I had a bit of downtime, and then I discover I've earned 250 TPs for no effort on my part at all. Really, I don't see the problem here, and Turbine did not *have* to compensate people with those points. Did they do it in part for customer relations? Sure. But, given that the most vocal whiners are those whom are the most addicted.. it's unlikely those individuals would have left.
