Are we rehashing this again? The mod team has themselves admitted that there is no plate in Middle-earth.

Let's use an example. The Dwarves made the best armor, and doubtless their king would be armed in it. Yet Thorin and company, with the vast halls of Erebor at their disposal and all the armor within, chose chainmail. Thorin specifically wore a gold coat of rings. There is absolutely no lore backing--the King of Durin's Folk himself did not wear plate.
