LOTRO Store Sales this week

[ItaOperor]

Wow talk about tone deaf.

You've just increased the grind for LI's and now a convenient sale on LI items.

If this was meant to appease the masses then I have no words for you.

Just when you think you can't feel any more sad about LOTRO this week: https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthr...uary-21st-28th

The sale notes have been deleted, looks like they are reconsidering the sales this week.

[littlesquinky]

It's not just about notes, they had them in game for a short period of time then pulled them off some minutes ago lol

Shortest-lived store sales ever?

Just in case there was anyone left who didn't realize how completely out-of-touch SSG's dev team is with their customers' frustration...wow!

I want so bad to be Mr. Optimist and Benefit-of-the-doubt.

This is the most shameless/flagrant/brazenly exploitative and insulting ploy I've seen from any once-legitimate business.

EDIT: ok gone now. ;p

[Moondog548]

Heh.... new announcement with different sales up now.

We can't let them pretend this didn't happen. Absolutely absurd. Even IF this has all been some terrible goof on their part and not the shameless cynical exploitation/desperation it looks like, they MUST address their horrible horrible history of customer relations as a company.

Yeah - but I don't think SSG know how to do apologies. As you said if it's a goof why don't they just admit it?

[Occum]

I'm willing to think that sale items are rotated outside of SSG's direct control - isn't the store managed by another company?
Those were probably on the rotation list and no one consulted with SSG first.

That said, yeah...it looks really bad. I did see them in the store earlier today before they were pulled.

[Cordovan]

This was an oversight with our regular rotation, sorry about that. A more fitting sale has been put in its place.

Yeah that's better than not.

I know you don't call the shots for LotRO, you're just the guy at the front desk (or so I must assume).

But this whole greater problem MUST BE ADDRESSED by SSG. We've been through years now of purely amateur customer relations and it's absolutely disrespectful.

Agreed - it really shouldn't take an hour and a half for a response when the sales were pulled so quickly.

[Ethrildar]

HAHAH. Brilliant.

If it was the one with LI slots, don't wait too long to bring it back. My Valared characters have been waiting very patiently for that one...

[Morellian]

Omg, that's hysterical. It's actually even funnier that they deleted it straight after, shows that they're perfectly aware of just how shameful their behaviour is.

[BigLotroFan]

A more fitting sale? how about another 75% off valar sale?

[Strider5548]

Black steel keys would have made the most sense given we just got all this new stuff to barter.

[wrath247]

Yeah the sales might have changed, nice job of giving them the virtual finger, but their still bad.

I mean really, does anyone even buy anything if isn't an inventory sale, unlock sale or cosmetic sale?
