Seems as if blizzard is starting to treat their customers like the darkfail people...

Really? Like how so? I genuinely ask as I never got past level 30 in LOTRO and am curious.

Since I'm not playing LOTRO now, I can't speak for other's experiences, but this is what someone on my blog list says, as recent as 1 week ago:

Sounds a bit odd when you need to stack 6 hunters in a 12 man raid group... using only 5 out of the total 9 classes available. That speaks to me to be lacking in proper raid design.

I've played both games and prefer LOTRO, but even then I have to admit that if you like raiding, stick with WoW. LOTRO's end game content is either 1 main fight a week(watcher) or an upcoming Rift-like dungeon with multiple mobs(once a week also, 1 to 2 days to finish). So if you're used to logging in WoW every single night and really like raiding every moment, I wouldn't touch LOTRO.
If you like to do other things(like housing, collecting trophies, tradeskilling, etc etc) than raiding, then try LOTRO, its much more diverse in gameplay.
