I was simply stating that you are entirely confused if you think that the only type of person that plays LOTRO is like the guy dressed up like Gandalf that tried to pester the geeks standing in line at the Star Wars premiere in New York. And by no means are either of us anything like Triumph the insult comic dog in this situation. We are just lesser fanbois. (And only one of us has a triple digit IQ)

This was not a review, as 1, product is not even released so it could only be a preview (it's not) 2, you started with a (false) subjective judgment....

Denial makes one look a lot dumber than he/she actually is.

It all sucked.
Oh I most certainly have. I just tend to try not to do it in front of the very same people I am talking about(and again, I generally would be making a more informed and intelligent assessment).

Well, prove it then.

Eh... I am not going to track down examples. If you are that concerned, search the forums I frequent.
And wow I really messed up my statement about not doing it in front of people originally and look like a doofus
(Editing my original post, but this quote and Sramota's will show my idiocy!

You're knee-deep at the shores of Hell now! Haven't we got anything better to do?

You beat me to it.
And officially in my defense, I'd say it is less about being a coward and more about being considerate(as well as not wanting to fight a losing battle that only pisses people off or makes me look stupid((ie.. what you have done here)))

Remember: trolling can be almost unintentional, borderline sub-consciuos
A troll is like Germany at the end of WW2 - their intention is not to win anymore, but to keep the fighting on as long as possible

In fact, I'd very much like to walk away from this without having to despise you from here on out. The only thing that would hold me back is that this was your very first post here, and quite likely to be your only post

See? Like I said: trolling can be unintentional
No hard feelings BTW

Leaving all the specifics aside, I agree with the OP's sentiment. LOTRO very much feels like a 'stop-gap' game to me.
While it is different to WoW, it isn't different enough.
The similarities don't make it less enjoyable as such, but they will (for me, at least) hurt the game's lifespan. I played a year of wow, now I'm looking for something which really feels different. (In the same way that wow feels very different from Ryzom, the game I played previously)
LOTRO's problem won't be that their game isn't good enough (it is), or enjoyable enough (it is). The game's problem will be that a good portion of it's population will be made up of those people who "got bored of wow". If the game doesn't differentiate itself more as it develops, these people will grow bored relatively quickly, because the way the game plays feels very similar right now.
As I said, I am enjoying the game, and I will be playing it for a couple of months, but I'll be jumping ship as soon as the next game comes along, unless LOTRO has a big direction change in the meantime.
Game mechanics wise true there is little revolutionary but then what game is? Its all done before.
I cant see anything wrong with LOTR, so its a bit like WoW, what game isnt? Since WoW was based on a lot of games, the cycle continues.
This is just a ridiculous attempt to say "my game is better", when clearly its a matter of opinion for children.
Now playing: VG (after a long break from MMORPGS)
Played for more than a month: Darkfall online, Vanguard SOH, Everquest, Horizons, WoW, SWG, Everquest II, Eve
