  1. Yeah, somebody “got” my post. I had a few comments that seemed to assume I hate raiders. That and a long, very off the point, argument about the accuracy of the numbers being bandied about.

    • I feel honoured lol. And yeh it doesn’t seem to be about the numbers really, it’s part of the equation but there are so many other factors involved there. For a game like lotro I’d more say not to bother, that is unless you do want to foster the growth of more hardcore players
