Are we as players afraid of a challenge?

Would love it, but then I remember the days of XI. If you tried to walk from the town you started to another major town right off the bat, your chances of survival were very slim. There was no sprint, monsters used more than just line of sight and initially they wouldn't give up chase until you zoned. It was typical to need an escort or a group if you wanted to visit a city at a very low level. Everyone remembers the walk from the Dunes to Jeuno. It was nerve wracking, but so so worth it!

I remember trying to navigate a level 1 mule to Jeuno. So fun, and I made it on my second try!
