1-Make it so i can play my instruments as i walk. Not asking for music when running, but if you've ever seen a marching band, you know it is possible to play a flute or guitar as you stroll......
2-Less wildlife killing. No i am not a fan of PETA, i just get utterly bored with the mass quantities of animal killing. More orcs goblins and whatnot would be better.
3-Solo versions of all of the quests, resulting in lower quality rewards. There are a lot of us out there that just can't group for a variety of reasons and we would like to be able to see and do what is currently unavailable to us.
I have no desire to add anymore pvp to my pve game. I think adding orcs and such as a playable race is ridiculous. A few things I would like added: better character animations...better hair (with animations), better housing (I hate hooks), a better lff function, more hobbies, more variety of armor and costumes, better/bigger bags and that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Exactly...LOTRO is a pve MMO and unfortionately a large % of the population (as well as Turbine) wants to keep it that way. Middle Earth always felt way too safe for me...its a shame really, LOTRO could have been so much more. Turbine /failed imo. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.
I hope one day we see Middle Earth the way it was meant to be.
I would really only change one thing and that would be for the game to actually have some quality PvP available in it. From a PvE standpoint I love the game. Probably can say at this point it's my favorite game, but it's always bothered me how lacking it is in PvP.
Ah well, still a damn good game overall.
EDIT: Oh....and I would merge a few of the servers with low pops. Of course, this will never happen either even though it should. I just think it's a shame some get a false representation of what the game is like when they make a bad server choice. I suppose having it noted somewhere about the global channels at some point would be benefecial too for new players. Some have no clue they're out there and wonder or complain why no on ever talks to each other hardly in game.

2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself.
3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose.
Give me DDO style combat with the LOTRO world. I would get wood.
Also, in closed beta there was an event where the monsters (that are now stuck in the Ettenmoors) were played by devs and attacked Hobbiton. I would love a pvp server option with that type of mechanic.
Here is the only screenshot I have from it...my dwarf kook is standing near a dead drake in Hobbiton. It was a ton of fun. They spawned drakes and other AI controlled monsters in addition to the dev controlled monster characters.

I remember that! It was a lagfest, but awesome nonetheless.
i would like to see some massive improvements to the ettenmoors. Many of the long time players go there when the regular content has been completed or they are just bored. It is optional and is not required but for the people who love to pvp there should be some reason to go there( better rewards, better objectives would be nice) I mean a person can play for months even years and not yet be able to buy the black horse. They seem to encourage people to spend endless hours there if they want a reward, why not make them a little more accessible seeing as most of the rewards are more for status symbols rather being a boon to the players. My champ was in the top 30 for my class on my server and i had played there for years. yet still he had no real worthy rewards for doing so. I mean the game is basically about battling the forces of sauron (regardless of what book they are on)so why not give some kind of reward to players who have faithfully fought them for years or even to the monster players who fought to keep fear in the hearts of the free people of middle earth. Saurons minions in the moors have done more for my sense of the foreboding of the coming war than any pve quest or instance. This is the last stop of many who become bored with the game why not create a stronger lvl of pvp to keep us interested until new updates come out.
Remove goats as mounts, and rune-keepers completely.
I could not agree more...especially the Rune Keepers....what were they thinking? And I would add....please improve character animation.....please. Why is it that the Koreans can do a much better job at character animation than the U.S. game companies?
-Itemization revamp: more armor sets, more cosmetic armor, better gear rewards for PvMP, better gear from Skirmishes;
-Legendary Item revamp: use a system like the Skirmish Soldier system, which actually will "grow with you" as you level, unlike LIs (in particular weapons).
1 - Redo the current LI system.. Customize them to whatever you want. Gain exp the same as they do now but with each level the dps and each mod would be increased in strength. No more reforging or using 100 points just to rank up a small bit.
2 - Completely redo combat.. The responsiveness of combat in LoTRO is the worst I have seen. Its almost hidden with a Warden but thats because you are looking at the hotbar 99% of the time button mashing.
3 - Redo Captains.. Give them more melee attacks that benefit the group and less " spells ".. Would turn heralds into a real " pet " and banners as an always on party buff with the radius the same as it is now but with the captain as the center instead of an immovable banner than needs to be placed over and over again.
3- Upgrade character models and fix the stupid bug that causes some machines to crash while using Ultra High texture settings.
4 - Remove Moria completely. Players have no business in that area especially during the LoTR timeline.
5 - Every book quest would be soloable.
6 - Remove housing instances and put up housing wings in major cities. Players would purchase a plot and the type of house they want built and then real time building would occur.
7 - Mounts would be available from level 10.
8 - Skirmishes would be available from level 10.
9 - Skirmish weapons and armor would be part of a set so they would be more desirable to attain.
10 - Would create another server with the ruleset " World Conflict ".. Players could play good or evil..
Evil Races would be - Orc , Goblin , Uruk and maybe Troll.
Evil Classes would be - Skirmisher , Warg Handler , Defiler , Berserker , Defender , Battle Master .
Orcs could be - All classes.
Goblins could be - Skirmisher , Warg handler , Defender , Defiler.
Uruks could be - Berserker , Defender , Battle Master.
Comments
While making the game a sandbox world would be my choice, its impractical to implement in the current game.
But adding playable evil races is not, and would be the one thing that would bring me back for a 2nd look.
Otherwise, its just an alternate to WOW and if I wanted to play in a themepark I'd stick with the biggest.

The graphics and lack of PvP, those two caused me to steer away from the game.

Better responsiveness, animations and better skill effects.
Rewamp the game so its 50/50 PvE/PvP instead of 95% PvE.
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.
