No Cord of the Rings today?

[Hephburz-2]

We are aware of the community's feedback on this change, but at this time we have no plans to add these accelerators back to Skirmishes. The ability of players to farm these accelerators with essentially no time or effort forced this change. We will be looking at ways to make sure there are plenty of in-game opportunities to earn these accelerators, but we did have to make this decision for the long-term health of that particular item.

Then answer me this;

A) Why has it taken you over a week to respond to this change when there was significant uproar on the day of the release notes.
B) Knowing it was likely to cause uproar why sneak through the change on a days-notice?
C) Why, only now do you consider these items a problem when they have existed at the Skirmish Camp for more than half of the games existance - I would even have accepted another price increase over their removal entirely, which frankly, is what SHOULD have been done.
D) You do realise this change has not affected any veteran player who had the ability to login before the patch and has accumulated thousands of these (like myself, sitting on a comfortable 5,000), and that in effect all this change does is harm NEW players, who one would assume it would be your desire to KEEP in the game, no?
E) "the long-term health of that particular item" as in, you didn't sell enough of them via the LOTRO store so you remove them almost out of the game completely so now we (not myself) are forced to the store to buy them?
F) "essentially no time or effort" and whos fault is that? You give us nothing else worthwhile buying with Marks, or Meds, yet continue to throw ridiculous amounts at us in instances and raids, don't blame the players for YOUR failings.

Your (SSGs) lack of communication remains abysmal on key (player upsetting) issues, and this statement is utter rubbish.
