And it is good too. Fantastic patch, and Incredible size.
Too bad you need to grind rep to access Loth...
Well for the first time grinding rep is actually making sense here. Lothlorien should be inaccessable to strangers. So you need to get a good reputation with the elves first to enter.
Anything in the Book 7 release for solo players?
All the hype says its needs a group to do the content.
I have already maxed all my crafting skills.
The book quests are soloable and the crafting instances are for solo.. what more do you need?
And to Logic. you dont have to "grind" rep for Lothlorien, you can finish book 6 and get access.

Thanks. I did not know they changed the book quests so that they can now been soloed.
My reading of the crafting missions were that they were a way of getting resources. I had no trouble getting resources and maxing all my crafts prior to Book 7. If you played off peak there was an abundance of resources. With the high level recipes being mostly useless to level 60 players, I do not see why you would even want to gather resources if your skills are maxed.
Better than that, finally nerfed the freeps. make them fight on equal playing grounds,.
