My first post here but figured this was important but i can confirm that the new high level mobs are indeed on the way to the Glacier zone-line in Ranguemont Pass. Tripped me up as I went to Fei Yin to assist a low lvl friend with BST AF helm. I find it a problem due to the fact that Ranguemont is the only way to get to Glacier barring OP warp and Vahzl Tele both of which require that you traverse the Ranguemont prior to having access. i am aware the Lycopodium in the WotG era helps to zone into glacier from Batallia but most new players who need assistance won't have the requisites for even that method.
Lest of course they are returning players who know what they are doing. Doesn't help matters that Invis scroll goes for 40kish last i looked here on Asura so even players who have WHM leveled to avoid dealing with the prices for silent oils and prism powders have roadblocks on that front. I was simply surprised that they placed the mobs in Ranguemont right in the way to Glacier. I understand it makes sense since there is a book at the Glacier zone-line but since the general idea of the mobs to begin with was "venture deeper encounter stronger mobs" I don't see how they couldn't have placed the book in an out of the way place nearby the monsters that were implied to be placed in out of the way areas of the zones they listed wanted GoV changes to occur.
Granted it would be annoying with the GoV tome being out of the way but that's what rewards are for, to entice players to spend their time and effort in such a way.
As for the mobs encountered there were some from the Hecteyes mob family on the off beaten path (i made a wrong turn so i encountered them. Used to be where the scorpion was all by its lonesome) but as I made my way on the correct path to Beaucidine I noticed high lvl Bats, Gobs and Floating Eyes.
