Day two of the Mines of Moria.  As predicted, there are all sorts of wild-eyed frantics posting about how the game is "a shadow of it's former self," in which everyone has been personally targetted by Turbine for nerfs, just to make their favourite class "totally unplayable.  There are people posting that the game should have stayed in Beta longer - in fact, people that claim to have *been* in beta. 

I was in the Alpha.  It was nearly flawless then.   Beta improved things.  But even as early as alpha I was of the opinion then that the game was nearly ready for launch.  It's so much better then expansion pack launches I've seen in many other mmo's.

And then there's "Book 15 is a bad joke!"  Well *soooo-rry!" you don't like it.  Did anyone ask?  I mean seriously, you don't like messenger quests.  Does that really entitle you to go into the forums and post stuff like "To the architect of this travesty of a quest arc: you are an abominable human being. Turbine should fire you, if not take you out into the street and shoot you like a dog."  Really.  In this post.  Frankly, there *is* an abominable human being involved in this thread...and it's not a Turbine employee.  Regoss?  You should be taken out into the street and shot like a dog.  Just saying.

 It amazes me, the social ineptitude that people feel they can display in a gaming forum while they're cloaked under an anonymous internet handle.  If you walked into an office and said something like that you'd be arrested and charged with assault.  But no, this is the internet and the nameless and faceless (and brainless) can say anything they want, to anyone.  There's no real human beings involved, what's it matter if a slam an anonymous dev?  Man, and people wonder why the Loremaster's dev won't post in the forums.  There's a good example of why he won't - and why they aren't required to do so.
