Re: Two nice "extra" things I'd like: skirmishes and more scaling
To each his own. I'm not going to endlessly debate you over this since clearly you have your own stance on it, regardless of the "50%" figures that you're making up with no statistics to back you.

Re: Two nice "extra" things I'd like: skirmishes and more scaling
Touching the Rift at all runs the chance of it going from being the best LOTRO raid to it being garbage. There's a storyline to the Rift, just as there was to Helegrod before it was split, and...

Re: Two nice "extra" things I'd like: skirmishes and more scaling
I would disagree. I find skirmishes terribly boring and they're a cheap way for Turbine to "add" more content. I don't care for the current reliance on them in terms of using marks from them to buy...

Re: Can someone explain to me why lotro runs choppy even after upgrading my pc?
The problem is almost definitely with your hard drive. Even if you have a SATA 2 drive this game does an AWFUL job of streaming in new data. I think it has to do with it switching from low resolution...

Re: Finesse a.k.a. "Radiance 2.0"
I'm not going to argue whether or not I think finesse = radiance 2.0 but I would like to contest the statements you made here.
Radiance was just as much a stat as finesse is. Anytime there is an... -

No. This idea is stupid. This is not Reddit, nor is this 4chan. This is LOTRO. Keep it LOTR based. Having the Moor Cowbell in there is bad enough as it is.
