By these standards, then every community manager and game developer who's ever posted on forums is guilty of broken promises too. In everything in life, the only constant is change. People change, games change, etc, etc. I'm gathering from the supposed shock of some here that they've never read other game forums and seen how many previously made statements on the part of devs and cm's were later changed. It's like someone who has lived their entire lives in a basement and now are complaining that the sun is hurting their skin because they go outside.
If any of you have ever said marriage vows, do you vow to never change as a person or to be committed to each other for life? In my very humble and near worthless opinion, the only PROMISE Turbine has ever made to its players is that they will faithfully try to create the absolute best middle-earth MMO they can and give players the chance to play it. But unlike marriage, players ultimately have to pay $ to experience LOTRO to the fullest.
I just don't know how to write this in a nicer way, but whining comments (the comments, not the people themselves to be clear) about "broken promises" remind me of whining comments immature little kids make when they needlessly nag their parents. Grow up.
But by all means continue to troll, this discussion is fun. Except don't pick on Khafar, he's just about the most helpful and level-headed person on these forums. If you want to pick on someone, pick on me. I'm a hot-headed idiot
