Lord of the Rings Online

[EverBlue]

As I've seen no thread about it.. Although there probably is one, because I'm blind when it comes to make double threads..

Anyways, I picked this up yesterday because I've heard good things.. And I recently stopped playing WoW because I hate the grind. I hate the grind so much.

LotRO uses the same interface and gameplay as WoW (Almost) so it's really easy to figure things out.
The game looks pretty good.
I wish I could say I'm enjoying it, but I'm only level 7 at the moment, and there still seems to be a bit of a grind.. Although, less so, because getting XP from monsters isn't as easy as in WoW. On WoW I got to level 11 off of the intro/tutorial by mostly killing.. In this? I got out of the intro as a level 5. Questing gets you most of your XP, unfortunately quests like "Kill X amount of X, and collect X amount of X from them."
For example.. Bears, and bear pelts.. Why, oh why, do only a few bears of the dozen you kill have pelts?
I've also discovered Bears like Hobbits as much as honey.
