I had a guy last night report a gold farmer in /ooc. Since, I thought he was referring to me, I asked him about it. He said he thought I was cheating, so I explained and all was well. Then, a few minutes later, I got a message from a guy telling me that people like me were ruining the game. I asked him what he meant. He simply stated that I should try playing the game solo instead of five characters at once. I informed him that I have soloed five characters to level 60, but was unable to find a kin that would accept me. He thought I was BSing him, but I eventually convinced him. I have had terrible luck with kins in LOTRO. I have jumped through all the hoops, filled out all of their online forms, and been rejected 5 times. Each time it has been a different kin with the same response. They don't need anymore guardians... my main. Since I can't find a group, I made my own.

It's been hilarious watching syncronized loremasters single shot kill everything, and bear pets are a hoot. I get xp just from walking through mobs with all five bears on agreesive and letting my pets kill everything on the way to my next quest.
