Why does EVERYTHING have to be aggressive?

I actually think the world isn't dangerous enough. If it was truly dangerous you couldn't just run 20 yalms to the left and loose agro.

I too miss those XI and 1.0 days. Making my way to Gelmorra Ruins slowly tiptoeing past mobs and standing completely still is waiting for others to turn their backs to me. It was an achievement in and of itself. There was no other reason to go out there than to say you did and to see the place in person. But getting there was most the fun.

We don't need "elite" zones. It's more dangerous to walk through a preschool than it is to walk through Eorzea.

But why does it have to be so dangerous? Do you go out in a forest expecting to be swarmed by angry hornets immediately? This isn't Bloodborne or a single player game where the intention is to throw off casual players. And even still, Bloodborne offers the luxury of giving the player all the admiration they want if you just clear the area. This is an mmo that children play.

Most of the people asking for more danger in the open world are asking for there to be dangerous areas within the open world, not for just blanket danger everywhere. If we had both more dangerous areas and safer areas, it would make the world more dynamic.

Yep, the fact that people don't get this baffles me. School system at work?

Mhm... truth be told, I doubt that's all there is for a request, because that is easily solved: Fill an island of Azys Lla or the Sea of Clouds with level 100 mobs that shoot you off your flying mount and you're done.

Would anyone be happy with that? Hell no. The first thing people would complain about would be that people can just freely avoid going there in the first place, because it's isolated and has no exclusive rewards tied to it. Next, people would ask for the zone to please be mandatory for something, be it MSQ, relic, or just some glamour/mount, to make people go there even though they don't want to, because if it was truly optional, it would be dead.

It's like the difficulty discussion - First people ask for higher difficulty to be more engaged and have more fun since everything is so easy for them they get bored, then they turn around and demand to be compensated for having more fun and not being bored with better rewards.
