I miss the sense of adventure and danger in MMOs.

And it's so annoying too. They're still not hard, they're just tankier. So long as I only pick up one or two at a time, I won't die. If I aggro too many, I simply run away.

Hard overworld mobs are just annoying, not fun. I have better things to do with my time than killing some trash mob that benefits me in no way.

The lack of challenge does kill the sense of adventure for me to a degree as well. However, I will say that I like doing blind runs on new content here for FFXIV. I have found several of the dungeons to be challenging, but it's not fun for me to run things the first time with a whole bunch of people who are experts at the content. I really enjoy the frustration of dying 10 times to win on that 11th go. That gives me a true sense of accomplishment as well as bonding with FC mates.

Also, I'm glad they added the minimum iLvl option for dungeons. I quit for a while back around when Leviathan was being released and SE was making content easier with every patch drop which was frustrating me to no end. I don't really like having "easy mode" handed to me like that even if it's designed to help people progress faster. So, maybe the minimum iLvl option will help me and my self-torturing tendencies.
