What's up with Max Level Monsters in Lower Level Areas?

[Meyi]

Jesus tap-dancing Christ. Why on earth are you people so intent on defending SE's bad level design changes?

I agree that the layout is bad. I think they should change it. However, there are currently ways to avoid aggro from higher level monsters while waiting for Square Enix to fix its errors. But, to refuse to buy medicines that several players use already simply because of money (and then refusing to get the skill levels to make them) is lazy. Sometimes we have to do things we don't want to in order to make the things we do want to do easier to accomplish.

"Go to the Auction House and..." should never be a requirement for any mission.

Hm, Bastok's Mission 6-2 requires an Adaman Ore. Could have been mined, just like silent oils and prism powders can be crafted.
