Monster Placement

About an hour ago, I went into the Inner Horutoto Ruins to help out a friend, and I got attacked by very high level monsters, even at 77. I know for a fact that this place was suppose to be challenging at only 16 so this kind of inclusion is just absurd. I get the feeling that there were other areas where monsters were replaced as well.

I can understand why they were places such as Crawler's Nest and Garlaige Citadel where more advance players would normally go. But in a beginner area this is just unacceptable.

Outside of that, this by far is one of my favorite games, and I hope it will continue to be for years to come. Thank you for your time, and keep up the great work.

I agree with this. The Central Tower for the Horutoto is a key story point of Windurst, and you will return to this area dozens of times for missions and quests. Certain missions are only level required 15, and if you're a new player you won't have the funds for Snk/inv items and you will definitely be 1-shoted if aggro'ed by the wrong mob. But it's not just the Inner Horutoto. It's a majority of the zones where the Grounds of Valor have been added. Most coffers that are for certain jobs get totally shafted because the coffers now fall into these 'new' mob placement zones. Slight shifts if things would make this a little easier for missions and thoses that are in these zones at level 60 to get things. Mind you a few of the new mobs aren't aggressive, but I ,at level 90, wetn to go fight my NPC and aggroed a ghost that's near the arena. I had been perfectly fine for most of my trek, and then just BOOM, sudden level shift of enemies from 40ish to 90-100.

level whm rdm or dancer to level 30 and youll be fine.
