I agree with the new changes.
People complain that there want it hard, I'm sorry but LB quest have never been hard.
There have been a changeling, but something that is can be done with a few good set ups.
In Final Fantasy there are gamers of all level skills and time.
Is it relay fare that you people that have so much time on your had and want a game so difficult that it penalise casual players?
I agree with harder fights, but only if the reward is better.
4 level increase is not as good as having say a very powerful weapon skill or gear.
I'm happy with what SE is doing here.
The game should never be about elitist or hardcore players.
It should be for everyone.
And since LB quest is for everyone, as its character progression and not about earning elite skills or gear.
I'm sure that if you ask SE nicely that there could make a special bcnm fight with this npc and make it a lot harder where you are rewarded with something better than just a level increase for all you blood thirsty players.
