    Have you got to Floor 200 solo? I assume you have if you don't think there's any difficulty. There's a huge amount of things that players can do to learn their class but unfortunately the meta in this game is "reach cap ASAP" & people will always use the easiest route, regardless of whether it helps teach the class or not.

    Ideally things like Hall of the Novice (& the upcoming version) should be compulsory. Job quests should force the use of abilities (a bit like Hall of the Novice). Guildhests should be signposted as important too, currently you might miss them altogether if you're not told about them.

    Bad example the whole 100-200 solo was supposed to be akin to Savage in terms of difficulty. 1-100 was outlined as story/leveling dungeons with little challenge. They are not asking for it to be more challenging they are asking for mobs to have more HP.

    I actually agree most early mobs take 2 hits and the higher ones once capped don't take much more to kill making practising rotations harder. Yes we have dummies to practice on but POTD is a nice place to practice with real enemies.

    As Masekase described, I'm talking about 1-100, the floors that players use to level. We have seen numerous complaints about PotD being the new fate grinding in terms of producing poor players from the levelling experience, and all I'm asking for is for players to be able to fully flesh out their rotations on singular mobs before they die, I'm not asking for the difficulty to be any different to what it currently is.

    This would be in addition to your comment about the Hall of the Novice (or Hall of the Intermediary), and would allow players to apply and practice their endgame skills while levelling, which the current PotD (floors 1-100) does not properly achieve.
