Well said. TOR is the most extreme example of low ping necessity (EC Nightmare inductions, anyone?) whereas other games, such as LOTRO, are much slower paced CC/coordination based games that are very easily playable with high ping. For me, TOR is not playable with the ping I have (at best 300-400 WITH battleping) whereas LOTRO is still very much playable due it's fundamental design difference.
LOTRO is far from the greatest game, but as a lifetime subscriber with a long history there, I have alread returned and unsubbed all my TOR accounts.
