Until they start making computers with internet connections a fixture at most retirement homes, or they start making LotRO as accessible as Farmville, most of any population influx are going to be younger players. Why? Because we were that age when we started playing.
So we can either scream at those damn kids with their OMGWTFBBQ and their 'doing it for teh lulz' to get off our lawn, or we can try not stereotyping someone, "Get with the times" and treat them like another human being that has a lot to learn - but thinks they know everything. Y'know, like we were at that age.
As far as addons go, it's important to remember one thing.
If adding (insert addon type here) to LotRO would turn LotRO into WoW, then it already is WoW. It's not the addons that lead to the situation you escaped from in WoW, but the community as a whole. So if the current community is made up mostly of people who would use addons in such a way, then it already is WoW. If,on the other hand, most of the community is against addons like Meters or GearScore, then adding those addons won't change that.
