The most recent hardcore raiding kin on the block, <Element>, just successfully completed ToO F&F and Lightning on Tier 1 difficulty without the least of struggle. The 5 day old baby kin has a bright future ahead of herself, with lots of great members who make it what it is. I would like to thank Northandos for leading our first ever KinRuns! Many, many more to come guys. I would watch out if I were you all you hardcore raiders out there, cause this kin is going places! Starting with Shadow/Acid T1 Tmrw Night (EST).
While Riddermark is always glad to see more people raiding, I'm not sure Tier 1 Orthanc can be called hardcore. Reach for the stars and give tier 2 a shot! (obviously, get a full T1 clear under your belt for the sake of group synergy)
We just formed 5 days ago, we still have time for tier 2. I run em all in t1 every week, that's not the point. It's our kin's first run, it's symbolic.

Plenty of symbolism out there. I just feel that you shouldn't call yourself a hardcore raiding kinship until you're at least working on T2. I'd call you yet another one of the kinships that raids T1 otherwise. Still, the more raiders the merrier!
Although I congratulate you on your first victories in ToO, if we are realistic about it a kin shouldn't be called hardcore in lotro until its has T2 lightning and T2 F&F on farm and has beaten T2 acid/shadow.

Way to up the standard, looking forward to your T2 ACID and SHADOW kills soon. :P
That said, I'd settle for hard-core relative to the rest of Riddermark.
lol. lets not turn this into a hate thread. Congrats to Element on first clears. We will be getting through all the T1's on a normal basis and be working on T2 soon enough.
