    Yes, this is indeed a pain...

    While I did leves (prior to patch 1.18) I would swap to my rank 50 class just to run pass the aggro mobs, and then switch back to continue on my merry way. Though at this point I don't think I want to do leves there anymore unless mob placement readjustments are made for that place. XD

    I have had a personal embargo on setting foot in nanwa (which im begging to think is short folk speak for hell hole) for a long long time now.

    there is difficulty and challenge, then there is a hole crammed full of aggressive monsters that you have to wade through to do any thing, and unless they have changed one particular leve down there, its also the zone that makes you run circuits through them. and before people think im being one sided here, Copperbell has the same damned issues minus the leves

    Another asset to the forum community. Comparing raids to ill-planned leves with ill-placed mobs outside the leve are apples and oranges. So what's your point? It never ceases to amaze me why people feel the need to be 'clever' in these forums, when in essence they'd be better served to just stfu.

    Nanawa Mines reccomended rank is 35. You can solo fine at r35, you are expected to party up if you are going to do it under reccomended rank.

    I might have accepted that if not for the simple fact, that leves themselves are mostly soloable with rank 28. If the area was really meant for rank 35+, then leves should have according difficulty. That would be acceptable. As it is, the situation is... irritating.

    I never go there either for the same reason. I have a 37 quest that is in the far back corner but in order for me to reach it
    I have to kill everything in the room and then I would have to pull the quest mobs to me that also aggro so I would not have a lot of time to kill before the room started to spawn again. I have put off finishing that quest for that reason. I only did the
    the leves in uldah at the other area you can get marks there too.

    "Some of us still need guild marks" If your that hard up for them you can do them when you hit the next level tier or do the lower ones. Does everything in the game have to hold your hand in this game?

    Hell I've solod multiple leves in Nanawa mines including the leves that lead into the Yarzon-Gnat rooms and I've hit my time bonus multiple times. Don't cry just because something is hard, it's far from impossible.

    The leves in Nanawa are easy to solo if you know what you are doing and maneuver your way around. Players wonder why mmo's are being dumbed down—instant gratification instead of using tactics to reach your goal.
    There's a difference between content that is designed to be challenging, and content that is challenging (or frustrating) because of poor design. Mob pathing and placement is something that needs major refinement in this game, and Nanawa is no exception.

    Actually it was written all over the leves that the recommended rank for Nanawa Mines leves is r30. You even get penalised SP for being under r30, my r27 GLA get 2.3k SP for Sword and 3.3k SP for Shield because my Shield is r33. At the counter the NPC blatantly put the leve into r30 bracket as well. The difficulty is dumb-ed down because previously you can find r52 mobs in 5 stars r30 leves, and that to many people are overkilled. Thus, they lowered the rank of mobs in all difficulty by a large margin and general 5 stars nowadays are around r42.

    I had a run with my friend last night as both under r30. While manageable, it's a bad choice for doing leves because unfortunately leves are all about speed run nowadays. Same for behest, we did it much longer than most other camps and as a result barely anyone going there for leves/behests nowadays.
