A fine example of things being screwed up is when a level 38 world drop costs more gold than you would be able to earn while grinding from level 1-60.
Either it is because no one plays, or that the best items in game are BOA. That being said, in LOTRO, I rarely see spam for gold. The best items in game only require a 12 man raid. The items drop every time. Now, I thought that would turn out bad, but at 12 man, with a set of 6 items (8 with weapons) you have to run the raid 13 times with one group to get everything (The weapon drops once, so you have to run that boss twice). You can only run the raid once a week, so that turns into what? 4 months? That is just one of your 5 possible characters, as most players have more than one. You end up with long grinds not counting learning curve and just bad happen. Yes even a seasoned group can wipe. And if that content wasn't enough, Turbine just added a whole bunch more dungeons that are 6 man instances that have gear one tier below the main 12 man. Just a thought, but like I said I don't get gold spam.
