I dunno; I actually find it somewhat refreshing hearing a realm just plainly state "we're coming in to take all your shinies because we wants them" rather than try to cover it up with some transparent justification or lie.
But then, I'm not the one on the receiving end.
Yeah but if you think about it, they would have reasons to fight us, so idk the whole "we are bored, so we came to take your gold while you fight someone else, we won't declare war and i hope this is not an inconvenience for you" a poor excuse, like Fingolfin was too lazy to come up with a better idea for it.
But like I said, part of the game...
