After 6 months or even earlier, I must say I am bored of this game

I must say initially I had given this game a higher score. The areas seemed diverse and was hoping to see a greater variety of landscapes and original quests. MInd you 6 months have passed and I must say I'm bored of this game already and have been bored for almost 2 months already. Limited areas to explore , poor drop rates and the bleakness of the end game area has made LOTRO very bland and tedious. The quest contents are all too familiar to many other MMO's(IE WOW) Collect this, Kill 5 of those etc. Nothing ground breaking i must say. Quest rewards from the end game areas have already been exceeded by turbine's brilliant idea of upping some of craft items such as rings,armbands , weapons etc and has made alot of the quest items obsolete which in turn has made motivation lvl's for some players to finish the quests very low. This is very evident in the class lvl 39 quest rewards.
The new rep area to me is a weak feeble attempt to prolong one's gaming experience which I believe has done the opposite.Useless rewards and boring repetitive gameplay has made LOTRO seem all to familiar. And after 6 months when I look back at it, this game is just a condensed version of WOW with nothing left to do.
