Rank cap increase every 1-2 years discussion thread

This is my biggest issue with FFXI only MMO players, you're trying to compare something that shouldn't be compared.

A level 50 HNM/Dungeon boss should be very challenging for a party of level 50's.
A level 55 HNM/Dungeon boss should blow away anything that was for level 50's in challenge/loot reward.
A level 60 HNM/Dungeon boss should be much much tougher than the level 55 boss.

Each level cap bosses/HNM should be much much harder than before.

If the players get stronger, the bosses need to get much stronger. I don't want to see a repeat of FFXI @ 75cap where the players got so much more stronger(because of merits) than anything the endgame had to offer outside of PW and AV that everything became a snoozefest. I would go as far to say SE should force you to upgrade your gear from level 50'ish to level 54-55'ish non endgame gear to even stand a chance or you get destroyed in 5 seconds against a lvl 55 boss/HNM.

Wait, so why is comparing my past MMO experience with my current MMO not a valid comparison?
