Seems like rank 25 behests are tuned a little high. Alot of the monsters are rank 39 or 40 , with even a couple around 44. That feels like it could be unintentional as rank 35 behests have mobs at approximately the same level.

Behest mobs level are so weird. I was in a 2-person Behest the other day. I was 37 and the person was 34. We were at Cedarwood which is recommended for rank 35, according to the Battlewarden. BUt the mobs popped as level 30. This must be broken somewhere, it shouldn't be happening this way.
I agree here. There is definitely some inconsistencies with ranks/levels and difficulty. If the required rank is 25 then a new player that is rank 25 should be able to complete the Behest solo, with some challenge mind you. This is not always the case.
It would be awesome if you could complete it solo at rank 20 since you are in the 20~30 and the difficulty would scale up with your rank level. In turn, if someone joined you it would be just as difficult.
I like the decision to put a restriction on the rank in which you can do the Behest.
The decision I humbly disagree with is the change from longer more substantial Behests with more mobs every 1hr, too shorter ones every 30min. Now there is a timer that only allows you to do Behest every hour.
Behest used to be a fun thing you could do when you had nothing else to do. I wish they were the longer ones that you could do every 30min. Sometimes it's boring when there's nothing to do and you don't feel like crafting or grinding mobs and the Behests were a great way to mix things up. Now they are too short in relation to their frequency. No one does them any more. Before, sometimes there would be 25 players doing them. Fun!
Just my opinion.
Keep up the great work developers at Square Enix, and revive the Behest system!
The difficulty has been recently jacked up at the lowest levels too! I have a MRD who joined up at Bearded Rock, (only one again, since I am on a low-pop server) and the NPC pitted my solo behind against 4 R12 Moles (fair challenge) and an aggressive R19 Chiglet.
Why drop a mob in that high level, and make it aggro, AND surround it by other behest mobs?! Being MRD vs. Chiglet, my accuracy was horrible and I didn't have much in armor yet either. I got bored and killed regular R1-3 mobs before quitting the behest altogether.
It didn't used to be like this. When the battlewarden would mention that a behest was for R5, it would actually be a challenge without being something nigh-impossible to complete. Not to mention, the cash pay-out is fairly low for behests to start with.
