I'll give you a hint. There is no way to max out your soldier unless you pay TP or bought the unlock with an xpac.
I think the game is hugely expensive if you want to play the full meal deal and a total gouge. We all have our opinions.
not sure exactly what you're trying to advocate. so you're not serious enough to want to actually reach endgame content in expansions, you feel like a fluff feature that's part of said expansions should be given to you for free? subscribers that don't own the expansions can't even level their skirm soldiers up past the default cap. quit acting as if it's some kind of abstract limitation. skirm cap increase is part of the expansions. you have to buy it like everyone else if you want it.
also, the devs have clearly stated that this feature is NOT limited to the cash shop store. landscape skirmish tokens can be bought in-game via skirmish camps, which is not associated with spending realworld currency in the cash shop. at least do some damn fact checking before raging about b/s you don't even have a clear grasp of: http://www.lotro.com/gameinfo/devdiaries/1824-update-6-developer-diary-soldiers-on-landscape
the game is not expensive. i've played for more than two years, and own nearly all of the content without paying more than 80$ or so. they have big sales all the time on content. how much does it cost to play rift, WoW, or any other polished subscription MMO for two years? a hell of a lot mroe than 80$ i'd wager.

Yeah, I have a lifetime sub and I never play LOTRO anymore.
This might have brought me back. But not for $1 an hour of playtime, basically. Sure, I get free points, 500 a month, but that's only 5 hours worth.
If they are going to do this, why not 10 points an hour? Maybe just an unlock, say 500 points per character?
