I just /quit Lotro again for the 10th time(lifetime subscriber)after getting the "you can not loot this item" again after a whole 10 minutes of adventuring. Too little space, too messy. EQ2 sure beats Lotro in this aspect, and even EQ1 is better imo. At least the stuff is more discernable. :) Oh well, I can't seem to stick with a single mmo lately so I guess it is partly just me.

I am coming from (and still playing) eq2. There you have 6 items lots, and can either use the raw slot, or put bags of varrying teirs (usually 2 more slots per teir) in each item slot. Then there are legendary (rare craftable) bags that have an extra 4. Heck with enough strength you can hold crates that are usually meant for your bank slots. At the end tier, each crate holds 36 items, so I can run around with 180 slots on me, and over 5x that much in my bank. I like to hold onto some of the craftable drops on me till they stack and I can use them or sell as a bunch, but with lotro it just isn't possible (unless I want to waste money not picking up trash loot or waste time running back to town to sell off junk every 15min) BLEH I can’t get used to the bag space in lotro… I am coming from (and still playing) eq2.

Mines of Moria will be introducing a separate holding area for most quest items, at least. I'm hoping that this will take care of a lot of these issues.

In fact, it's often why I keep leaving LOTRO for other games (I have a lifetime subscription so I always come back). "Inventory Management" in any MMO is the least favorite thing I like to do.  I'm not rich, so I can't afford extra vault space. You can't buy extra bags for your inventory. And there are no separate bags for quest items. This should really be fixed, as other games that employee these designs really do cut down on the stress of inventory time-wasting organization.

It isn't the icons that make it confusing, it's just the lack of space between items and the size of the icons, together, make it more confusing. I'll take having bad bag space design over bad overall design anyday, however. I completely agree with the bag icon size.
