Hi. Grats on your appointment to the player council. I am the leader of Ilsik Haucil and would like to provide some feedback about the recent updates and what my kinship would like to see going forward. My kinship is fairly active (15-20 on each nite). We enjoy the game for its social aspects and like to group up when we can. the move by turbine to more solo content is very concerning to us. hytbold was a nice diversion but should never have been considered end-game content. the newest instance cluster was ok but compared to past instances was very substandard (esp the 6man). the 3 mans were fine except that they required the golden triad to complete challenge. (support classes were pretty much left out). going forward we would like to see lotro move away from the solo daily grind that we've gotten with rohan and now wildermore and move back to more group content, 6 mans in particular (think moria instances) and a more traditional raid (think orthanc and od). thank you for your attention. regards jeneth

Thanks for your comments.

I'll hang on to them and pass them along as appropriate.

Your sentiments are not unique... many others are critical of the amount of "solo" play as compared to "group" -- as a Founder/Lifetimer myself, I have seen the overall emphisis move from the "fellowship required" structure of the early days, to the "Fellowship optional" today.

Interestingly, your note is time stamped at 09:24PM -- and it is now 22:21 or 0821PM as I write this.
