DLC is death. I stopped playing LotRO because of their ridiculous DLC model. Even VIP/Premium players had to pay for the new areas. I'm not paying $40 twice a year just to play the new zones. If the micro transactions are worth it then the game doesn't have anything to worry about. NWNO as it is now, is fine. I'll still…
You missed the point of my post. I have 9 characters. I'm planning on running at least 8 through all of the content I can. I don't mind playing Sharandar that many times. I accept that if I want the rewards I will either have to play with each character or purchase it on each character. You sound like you'd buy a level 70…
You seem to think that because I don't agree that I MUST not understand. I understand your point completely, but the current drop rate/gating/locking doesn't bother me. I play about 2-4 hours per day, and I've collected about 2 AF per day. This is acceptable to me. I am sorry that you are upset that the game doesn't cater…
Why not just play the game? If you are impatient, or only want end game content without the time sink, then you have to pay for it. I don't see a problem with that.
I've been getting about 2 Arcane Focus per day. I'll have my weapons restored in about 40 days. I think that's reasonable. Every other resource can be farmed as many times as you want, or bought from the AH. Would you guys still be this upset if it took you only two weeks to get these weapons restored? If you spent as much…
I've taken to just opening the boxes on only one character. However if I get a companion box I will transfer it to the character that needs it. Given that I still think that something needs to be changed as has been previously stated. If I make a new character, and get him some new friends I'd like to upgrade them.
I currently have 22 Arcane Focus, and a few more Arcane Writings. I agree that something needs to change on the Arcane focus drop rates. Everything else you need can be found in multiple campaign missions. Whether Security, or Magic I can get Spell Amber, etc. I, however, cannot expect to get an Arcane Focus out of a Dig…
I have 17 Arcane focus, and I haven't been grinding for hours per day. Perhaps I will get more frustrated as I approach the end, but so far it isn't that bad.
I am glad they took the time to address the issue. I would prefer that the Daily be worth one Arcane Focus, and the Weekly be worth 5 Arcane Focus. I may not receive any Arcane Focus after a couple of hours of play per night, but I am getting plenty of other materials. I am actually more perturbed that I have to fight…
I was disappointed with SoMI, and its ridiculous requirements to restore/refine the Artifact items. I was hoping it was a singular incident. Apparently it is the new trend. Less content; more grind. I admit to enjoying the Elemental Evil campaign much more that the last two updates. I find myself enjoying the Cloaked…
