Why does EVERYTHING have to be aggressive?

[Clethoria]

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.

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.
