Though it seems familiar, do you remember where this was said or alluded to exactly?

3rd 4th and 5th quests weren't really hard per say it was more like, congrats you were able to get 8 people together to do this quest here is some gear and new abilities.
Only problem with this is people trying to get job quests done after the initial rush may have a hard time finding people who want to do it. Similar to AF coffer and AF3 quests in FFXI people were always shouting for help for those but not getting any too often.
It seems to be similar difficulty to FFXIs original AF quests when they were relevant.
Compared to what SE did with Abyssea AF3 sets which were really easy to get and the top of the line gear, you could solo or duo all of it. Majority of people were pretty happy about this given how easy it was.
The AF was MUCH more difficult than I originally feared it would be. I'm happy that they decided to make some of the fights challenging and required some sort of strategy. Easy to get? I guess. I mean I don't want some godawful .0009% drops for endgame, which I rarely ever even partake in.
