I know these quests are very rarely done anymore and admittedly, I haven't fully explored the Eco-Warrior zones to be certain that those are even affected by the monster placement adjustments for Grounds of Valor and such, but were either of these even taken into consideration at all?
I'll take the 2 I know for sure - the Bastok Escort Quest in the Crawlers' Nest and the Windurst Escort Quest in Garlaige Citadel. Now both of these have paths that are still safe, but if the NPC takes the route through the Lv91+ creatures, it seems to me that they will be destroyed very rapidly and the density of monster placement is so high, clearing a path in a reasonable time before the 30 minutes is up seems unlikely. Not to mention, the Kabooms do pose a threat to the NPC if it is too close to the battle and they self-destruct.
Again, as I stated, I know these may not be done with great frequency anymore, but the Escorts I at least enjoyed to get a little bonus experience on subjobs to help bring them up just a little bit quicker.
On a side note - There are also some chest and coffer spawns affected by these changes.... or were those adjusted and I just haven't noticed?
