Holding up Merry and Pippin as examples is also feeble justification because as far as the plot of the game goes, they haven't even got to 'captain' anyone themselves yet. That was in the Scouring of the Shire, remember?
Right, and Scouring of the Shire was in Lord of the Rings, and the game is called Lord of the Rings Online. If it's in the book, it's lore appropriate. Otherwise lore appropriate has no meaning.
Furthermore Frodo is called a Captain while the hobbits are partying in Crickhollow. Are you going to pretend like that didn't happen, or that it hasn't happened yet?
