Furthermore...VIP should not HAVE a daily task limit!!!

Thumbs down LOTRO Store, thumbs WAY down!!!!

I don't agree at all. The XP isn't being bought. Players have to grind out task items, which means gameplay = XP. Add the fact that tasks are only available in level brackets and it forces players to move to new areas and grind out more mobs. Removing the limit for VIPs simply means they do not have to go to the Store, adding more value to the subscription service, which is becoming increasingly less worth it.

The existing system is much worse. It means people are using real money (in many cases) to buy the opportunity to earn XP and complete several large deeds.

Personally I thought 50 TP for a reset was too much, but 100 TP certainly is. I definitely won't be buying any reset tokens at this price and I know several others who previously bought reset tokens who have, since this price increase, also decided not to buy any.

I understand the desire to make more money, but things like this often backfire, because the customers lost means less profit. 1,000 customers buying resets at 50 TP is better than 300 buying resets at 100 TP.

Turbine sure know how to put people off.

Just returned from another MMO, started a new alt, had every intention of pre ordering the expansion, then I find I'm expected to pay 100 TP to reset my daily limit.

For what this gives me, it's simply not worth it. 50 was pushing it, but a 100% increase, to be perfectly honest, it annoyed me so much, I've put off buying the expansion for the time being as this sort of extortionate rise leaves a very sour taste in my mouth as to where this game is heading.
