Radiance sucks, and this is coming from a guy that LIKES gear gating normally (look at how hard I worked on actual tank sets for early raiding in wow and was very precise on what he needed to be better for better stuff), I wish they had better ways of doing things on those lines. Or just obviate it.
As for still playing - its bloody Middle Earth, of course Im staying (in my limited capacity of course - which I kinda regret, but maybe after my trip I'll have more time and the combat system wont be as annoying after 3 days as it is)!
