Eorzea feels like a world with no teeth.

Look here, I could strip stark nakid and kill everything in the open world. It doesn't even matter if my manbits dangle tantalizingly in the breeze I can still rock the most menacing war machine to be found in the field.

yeah, we all believe you dude.

How exactly are those not good things?

simply because most this content was barely used too. when you had your exploration achievement... did you return into this area filled of monster 75-99? i doubt it. that the point, all this space was allocated to content that will serve 1-2 times and it's over.
why they didn't put back the open world dungeon? it was explain countless time by Yoshi-P, it's that at the first that tag and it can be pretty barren if the area is farmed by a lot of group.

people asking stuff but don't think about what it means. yeah let's add a top content in open world and let see it become a farmland with 100-300 person all the day into it. making loose all it challenge. you seems to have forgotten how was behemot and odin at the release a huge pain, server was simply dying because everybody was wanting to be part of it.
that the main trouble with open world content, either it's empty, because other content it's better or it's simply the most crowned place, annihilating all feeling of..challenge or achievement.

same for the NM, it was the first to tag the monster, leading to camping bot!

open world content tend to monopolize the world population in some small area when they come out and after take place that are barely used when better content come out.

finally about open world content in general, just remember the Farming of FATE, this zerg moving from FATE to FATE did you feel that the world was living? no, i had the feel to see insect devoring all on them way.

Sadly his colourful description is not wrong In the open world mobs pose very little threat, even the rank 49-50 mobs. While you might not be able to handle as many enemies at once if you were naked, as you might be able to handle if you were in your best gear, it's still easy to avoid situations where enemies are dog piling on you and take them on one at a time leaving Eorzea too feel like a very bland world to adventure through.

while finishing the story of the 2.1, i have seen a monk in ilevel 50-55 almost killed by the monster of quest. seriously, when you are in ilevel 50 if you get more of 1 monster level 49-50 you run... you will be killed with some class. when other will be able to pull it either because they are tank, can sleep or heal themself.

anyway, for now, we are still close of the city, even coerthas is really close of the city with many guard around. we are not in the savage part of Eorzea. we haven't even yet the whole forest around gridania. all i say is for now, it's logical that the world feel not really dangerous. especially well stuff. after all you are a warrior of the light... if a warrior of the light get killed by... a squirrel... we are doomed!

now let's talk of something i have said... the ilevel, i invite you to wear your AF (ilevel 50) and go to the sylph territory (by example) and tell me if you enjoy the pain ^^.

It's a shame people just assume that everyone else doesn't know what they are talking about.

But....you mad bro?

Whopping Ilvl 16 using the lowest lvl50 weapon I could afford (Sibolds reach was 300gil good grab to show someone they have no idea what they are talking about)
The highest level sylphs in the area (Aside from fate) did a Whoping 100 damage on average, if I wasn't engaged in combat I'd heal through the damage standing in place!


OH THE HUMANITY!

(On a side note I could tank 3 monsters at once with little issue and had to kill 4 enememies before I needed a rest, and that's without any defensive skills.

Clearly Warrior needs a nerf!
