Before commenting like this, you really should understand the system. 

          What it means is that crafted items now bind to the first person to wear them.  This is a great addition because it keeps the market relatively fresh for crafters as the items can't keep being handed off for lower and lower prices to the point that the crafters themselves either stop crafting or sell at substantial losses.

Well then, that makes much more sense. Thank you for clearing that up for me.

 without crafted items being  bound it cuts sales down because I can pass my crafted items from alt to alt

This update gets a big thumbs down from me.  I'm not going to list everything again like i did on the LOTRO forums either.  They broke more than they fixed. BTW, i'm a 37 captain, in case anyone was wondering.

I don't think anyone was wondering, but thanks for sharing, all the same. I will agree that removing all the screams (captain, minstrel, guardian, etc.) made me die a little on the inside.

I am happy with everything that they did except the removing of the screams. Now when I do my thing I am never really sure if it worked or not and have to look to double check.

Although I'm not playing anymore, I still want to say they did a great job. You don't see an update like this so often.. Actually I only seen them with Asheron's Call. I told you all Turbine could do it, and I was right, Turbine is one of the greatest game companies, and I know they won't let their game down.

Love you Turbine!

Ok, I like the update since my toon just hit 34, there's a ton of quests for me to do.

However, let's be honest, and see the negative things.

 - scholar profession was NOT fixed. Everything still needs the rarest and most expensive mats to craft - the issue is the same as before

- the crafting mat's icon background is downright horrendous, miserably ugly (neon green with cyan borders, I mean c'mon, does noone have a minimal artistic sense over there??)

- Some textures in Evendim are very ugly (ground pattern near the huge statues etc)

I am still much closer to a fanboi than to a troll, just wanted to point out that this was NOT the last patch, as I am sure Turbine will address some of the biggest pains that this update has caused.

Summing up, I really love the update, just don't want to feel to be blinded totally by my love for LOTRO :)
