Eorzea feels like a world with no teeth.

Mobs are only Lv.49-50 max. If you want some real challenge, tackle some of those high level boss fate alone that's all over Eorzea. If not take on this guys by yourself...

Haha sure I'd love to, you know, once he stops crashing the zone on my server with 90k disconnects.

Fates are events that occur within the world, while they may add a temporary challenge they do not ad any real danger to the world, you can ride through a fate without any cause for alarm even if it's higher level. What I'm talking about in this thread is that the actual persistent world showing no real threat once you have reached max level. If I wanted the kind of challenge you talk about, I could just go complete the PrimalX fights again, or go slay Twintania once more.

What I'm talking about is having a world that is exciting, and challenging to explore. Not a mild walk through the park on warm summer's afternoon.
