There is definitely a lot too it, and can certainly be overwhelming

Awesome, thanks for the reply!

Thank you, I appreciate that!

You definitely don’t need them for most stuff in the game. If you want to do pvp or higher tier dungeons and raids, you absolutely have to. I do agree, I wish they didn’t exist at this point.

Any time!

Haha, thanks! The pronunciation comes from a years of being live and saying things wrong 😂😂😂

Thank you!

Glad I could help!

nope, just level 45.

@@Bludborn Awesome thanks, was worried farming till 45 was a bad idea :P

It certainly can be.

Correct. There are no different rarities anymore.

No lies were detected.

Still can't believe LOTRO literally has a battle-pass and its the primary way of leveling an LI now. Its truly insane to me.

@@pandymandy sorry you see it that way. You get Reward Track experience from doing the stuff you are already doing to get resources for your Legendary Items. Most people i talk to see it as supplemental, and that's how I see it as well.

@@BludbornI'm also sorry you see it that way. But as one among many who did LIs in the background as their way of progress when not attending to end-game content, it is now virtually impossible to find elevation in the system without specifically catering your time to Instances and fashions of the game that were never the core focus for the LI system. I'll attest I've not been on the game for over a year now, as the Reward track among other updates were tantamount reason to seek using my time elsewhere, but in that window, even grinding missions at cap level to get items for leveling LIs never allowed me to reach the end. Perhaps I simply do not have the time to play others do, but when the content has specifically asked for further attention at a single end of the game in, what is otherwise a non-end-game MMO actively encouraging worldly exploration and casual play, I find that unacceptable. And as a system divined on time-gated FOMO, encourages a forced reliance on those end systems to make sure the player base stays attached rather than using the integrated systems passively - which was the original point of Legendary weapons (far less so for essence gear). I firmly do not believe the Reward Track to be supplementary, as, were it, many of its restrictions would not be in place as they are, nor would higher tier LI leveling items be pushed to its back end while remaining on a time-gate. Perhaps it is out of mind for many, but the shaving of meaningful area-to-instance ratio of gained bonuses when it comes specifically to the LI system means it must be engaged with to make ample progress - even if that is a background element for many. I do not discredit the value of a system that rewards present and constant play but it is, by creative nature, implemented as a mirror to more predatory systems that have come up in other games at a similar time, and I cannot take it on coincidence that that is the case, doubly-so when - to me and personal experience - made the gearing process of weapons in game far less enjoyable.

I agree 100%
