I pretty wholeheartedly agree with you there Lennalf, though I wouldn't go as far to say that skinning in LOTRO is useless. It definitely is disheartening as a UI developer to bump into limitations that prevent you from accomplishing what you wanted to do. Personally, I'd love to see an MMO use vector-based graphics and have a good animation API for the UI, but that's just a daydream for now.
