Sorry. Functional items are needed. However they want to make them. Just make it do what you say and make people want to keep it around and not trash it.

LOTRO does a great job at this.

LoTRO's stuff isn't all that great. I had a ton of cloaks too ugly to ever use and stats only good for a few levels.

I beta tested, launched and up to a year ago played LoTRO. F2P drove me off.

This.

LotRO offered no combat items worth mentioning as a bonus. Titles, gear that lasted until level 10, cosmetic items and mounts. Even the store items are largely cosmetic (or were last time I played) which was right before Isengard released

I am extremely happyy with the Game. I, however, agree with the OP. The DDE extras were not worth the extra $20. They felt like they were an after thought and then they were hyped. The little training droid would be cool if it was a cast and forget and all it did was float around you. The 30 second thing, and only on enemy players... that is a waste.

No comment on the STAP yet.

I would like to see the mount scale, but I am enjoying everything else. Sure the crystal becomes useless pretty soon but whats more amazing than that is you can buy the same exact crystal for 10 credits on the fleet lol. Oh well, such is life. The flare gun rocks!

Interesting. They've now changed the descriptions of some of the items included in the digital deluxe version of the game:

They had to make it more herp-derp friendly

I am disappointed as well. The only reasons I got the DD edition are:

1. to have a mount for all my new chars and save some credits, but it turns out that training the ability is the big cost

2. To have the Training Droid assist at early levels in case I struggled to figure out a class

Here's an example of how people were understanding the claims of the digital deluxe items.

Never did EA/Bioware correct these beliefs by way of any clarifying statements.

Too many complains about everything in the game. When have edition exclusive items ever been more than cosmetic? If they were game changing then that would be dumb and unfair. I got DDE and the items were what I expected. In response to the STAP I'm pretty sure that a 90% increase to your movement speed is way faster then walking around the map.
