To all the omniscient harbingers of the sky falling, please take a chill pill. From a list of 70-75 names you do not know all their alts and accounts as well as in game and out of game experience. Even Turbine employees would have to look up which toons have done T2C at level and other things the people have gotten their panties in a twist over. Rest assured that Turbine had some metrics to discern the final list from all applicants and recommendations they received. Nobody, including Turbine, knows where this is going but we can all hope that it will prove more useful than devs sitting in an ivory tower out of touch with the common needs and wants of the peasants in the trenches. The Forums are obviously the vocal minority and may or may not represent the populous, likely some of both. We will have to wait and see how the Counsil is utilized by Turbine and to what extent they are empowered so relax, the sky is not falling, the sun has not come up yet so we can't see what is happening. Suspend your prejudices and stop prejudging without any information whatsoever as a basis.
