Most reputation currencies are character based. I’m not sure off the top of my head, but if the currency in your wallet has green text, it’s account wide.

Totally pathetic . There is so much imbalance at the moment the game isn’t worth playing . If you are a decent player you would know that .

Balancing has always been an issue, across all MMO’s really. Gamers know and see past this all the time. Also in this very moment reavers are by far better off than Champs.

Man you should! Lag has been (mostly) fixed in the moors. I can’t say balancing is done properly, but when is it? Overall I’d say moors has been consistently fun for the last few months and I play both sides regularly.

If you like a lot of world chatter that reminds you of world of warcraft and has nothing to do with Lotro...Arkenstone is for you. Also..friendly and helpful community? that made me laugh out loud..Yes there are some occasional helpful people on Arkenstone but over all you will be ignored especially if you boosted a character and ask for help, I helped someone yesterday who was asking about his Li he was having trouble with and no one would help him because he boosted his character so I helped him figure out his problem then linked him a few helpful videos on the Legendary item system and he added me on his friends list and at the end he said "thanks I was about to quit the game" apparently he had been asking for a while not just that day..other people in the chat were saying a few thing in regards to him boosting his character ...all in all I've been on Arkenstone since the server merger back in 2015? and I really miss Firefoot. I agree with your take on Evernight, very friendly people there I started playing recently even though I am on the west coast of the US.

I have a very unpopular opinion about the new LI system but here it is. The old Li system was somewhat confusing especially when they added imbuement system but that being said, I liked it more. It IS more streamlined now yes..but it is BORING..really really boring. When I first played in Rise of Isengard and I got to the area around Echad Dunann and I had a 3rd age weapon drop? I was surprised..had no idea what it was or how to use it , it got me excited about that system of class items, then you had all the things you could get from drops like shards and turning the LI's that did drop into shards, you get the point..it got me engaged in the world and in the mini game of the Li system and now that's gone..Heritage runes from overland content is gone, kinda takes the thrill of discovery out of it. I don't hate the new Li system it's just boring.

I went through a whole YT videos guide to figure out how to use this system for my main. Now that I am playing other classes, I disregarded the LI's all together, I realized don't need them to play the game, some of the best non-legendary weapons are sufficient to get the job done. They really invented a problem that didn't exist with LI's. I am hoping that one day they'll get rid of them, or simplify the system down to a minimum.

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.

as to pvmp top of my list is i hope something gets done about the insane range a mini has, as for any grams/gv camping, perhaps if the one shotters actually moved out to patrol at random short distances it would deter the habit or at least make it far more risky weather at grams or gv.

As someone who can’t stand 80% of the first season, I have to say… Annatar looks perfect and that’s what he should have looked like the entire time. Halbarand should have ended up being the witch king as a separate character. I’m begrudgingly excited for this.

So with the Instance locks could you just have your cake an eat it too. Make 1 or 2 long instances with locks, Like Carn Dum back in the day. That used to be the weekend instance few hours laughing getting lost falling in the death water. It was Long but enjoyable and genuinely fun. Then you also have few fast instances with no locks short like school, library etc etc. You could also have it both ways with instance loot chests too. (I prefer old style too). So have 1 personal loot chest and 1 instance loot chest. personal is that RNG shit with things for your class bits of loot with low chance of instance gear, Then the instance 1 has only a select few items but with guaranteed drops for everyone to fight over. (like Og gear coins from DN,BG,rift etc etc) that way once or twice a week you can get 1 gear coin or even have the group give u all that drop to gear you up faster. And Every now and then have that old ninja looter.
