It's testing my patience and I don't like feeling yoinked around.
I haven't made my mind up yet, but I'm strongly considering passing on RoI and pretty much parting ways with LotRO and Turbine as a whole.
I don't like the deceptive/shady marketing of the game and pre-orders, Turbine Store, etc. It's testing my patience and I don't like feeling yoinked around.
1. "Here's a Turbine Point Store sale, get them while they're hot!" (by the way, you cannot use these points to get all the perks of a pre-order that we will announce in one day...)
2. "Mines of Moria quest pack is on sale right now!" (By the way, in a week and a half, you can get this included in a pre-order package.)
3. 25% bonus XP on ALL characters! (XP is on monsters only... does not include quests either. By the way, you have to equip it in a pocket slot.)
