where the hell did the makers of the game get healing with instruments from? How does that have any thing to do with Tolkien's work? And why would any 1 pay for a LOTR game that doesn't even seem like it's following Tolkien's work?
who liked healing with instruments? Does the color of the Lore-Master's and the Minstrel's armor get less or more girly when u get farther in the game?
ps I beta'ed LOTRO
It is not healing as per se. It is restoring MORALE. And that is logical - songs inspire morale in fact! You do not have health or hit points in LOTRO.

Denial makes one look a lot dumber than he/she actually is.
The servers are overcrowded for one. The game is on rails to a huge degree with no room for variation. The fact that there are already a bunch of level 50s running around and the game is barely a month out of release tells you it is way too easy to level. This game has no substance so they better start opening more servers and cranking out expansions in a hurry or they are going to lose their grip on the playerbase.
You obviously haven't even played the BETA's of this game....
Heard about traits and optional quests ?
Those who rush to lvl 50 in weeks really have no RL, and don't grasp a single aspect about the idea of a ROLE playing MMO in Tolkien's world.

And that would be the statement of the day. I feel sorry for the level 50s running around. It seems some just don't get this game. Perhaps a little harsh. This isn't the game for some, yes, much better.
Preface: I beta'ed LOTRO early on, and didn't like it. So I am not sticking up for the game. But I think you are basically right.
I think it is unquestionable that the people who use this site are more hardcore than the general MMO gaming audience. After all, casual players are not likely to bother to read tons of stuff on this site. They're just going to play their game for a few hours a week and that's all. Even within a game it is well established that only maybe 10-20% of the players read the game's own forum. How many less read an outside forum like this one? Add to that, most of the people who like the game can freely post on any game's own website, but people trying to bash it may well end up moderated there, so they have to come here.
The mix is, that you have all the hardcore people who hate a game, here... and all the hardcore people who like a game, are mainly at its own website. And the non-hardcore people are just playing their own game and ignoring all this. And so that's why, almost any game's forum here on MMORPG.COM, is filled with hate threads and flame-fests. There is no point to coming here for actual information about a game -- you won't find it. It's all just opinionated argument.

No trolling..just a a reply to Chessack..
No `coming here for info..i just gotta know..then tell me where ppl can discuss a mmorpg so freely if not here..
I myself have found many a valid source of info here...but who knows, maybe i was on ecstacy
1. Turbine has admitted that they aren't even going to try to cater to the hardcore achiever.
2. Turbine has a history of making it's content accessible to a large portion of the player base.
It's mostly people who wish that these two facts weren't true that are bashing the game
They want to beat LOTRO down for not being 'deep' when it is simply a different type of game. It's for people who would rather have an adventure then go play music or blow smoke rings than spend hour after hour in a raid instance. I know they are implementing raids, but I do not expect them to take nearly as much time as many other games based on #2.
Are you talking about blizzard and wow? I teally guess so...
A living creature that has stopped evolving is not worth existing.
