  I do hope they'll focus on improving the UI soon, I'd love to play this further, but even (for me) on 1080p / 24 inch monitor it's all very small, any attempt at scaling the UI results in a blurry mess.

  I couldn’t agree more. The UI is ancient and hideous. It’s easily the one thing keeping me from jumping back in.

  If you're not playing the game because of the UI, you will be waiting a long time to play the game again.
  
  I also hate the UI, the piss poor client performance and the server lag, the combat too as a melee character. But I like the game so I'm looking past these issues and am playing it, because you don't know when they are gonna pull the plug on it. Currently I'm level 123 on my first character and I have just a little more up to 140 and completing the story, then I can kiss the game goodbye and go to Turtle WoW or something better.
  
  If LOTRO's UI, performance and lag are fixed in my lifetime, I might play it again, but after I'm done with this character, it may very well be my first and last character. I like the game, or even love it, but these problems are making me not want to start another character even though I would like to test out some different classes. Also the segment "Rohan-Gondor-Mordor" has been a pain in my backside for the entire time I spent through it on this character, I simply cannot imagine punishing myself in going through that crappy drivel again with another character.

  A Blue Guardian Human with Sword & Shield. When I decided on the class, I knew nothing about the game and picked it hoping that a Tank would help me solo the leveling content of the game easily. After LI 2.0 released, my Tank build became 3 times stronger. Currently, I'm wearing a gear that is from a reward and made me even stronger.
  
  Here are some screenshots:

  Now my tank build mows down enemies with 2-3 buttons, I can't even complete a full rotation before I kill a mob. I can't imagine what it would be if I was a DPS build with a 2H weapon. I tried playing a DPS build with Sword & Shield and I was stronger at killing, but squishier at taking damage, so I switched back to Tank build and decided to leave it at that.
