I now have a new policy: If you are in my fellowship, you have to participate to the conversation and not try to force the others into doing only your quests. Fail in that and you are out.

For you, grouping really hit home, for me it was "I cannot tolerate the slow mo combat" because of AoC. I am starting to think that we as MMO players are actually quite lucky to have such a variety of games now. But, as rulez said, I am sure the majority of players in LOTRO are more mature than the majority of other MMO's...but, you may need to detox the WAR grouping mechanics first...(lol) Cheers..

One of my basic principles is to never group with "people" who seem to lack even the most basic forms of traits that distinguish humans from animals. :P Fortunately in Lotro the bad apples are very very scarce. :) “they said nothing whatsoever except for the initial “invite me” when they arrived”
