i would more then love to watch anyone 1 shot any mob rank 40+, of course 1 shotting most mobs up to the mid 20's isnt a hard feat. but mobs take on a whole new face starting in the late 20's, they hit harder and have a crap load more health. any and every MMO is the same way, mob start out generally weak as all hell for a reason, then progressively get harder to kill. and yeah i hope they do bring in some mobs that are insanely difficult to kill with any set-up cause i am freakin tired of having to have cookie cutter boring groups where tank does this, healer does that and blah blah boring. you can get to a point to where soloing in plausible but not very efficient. when you cast a spell of any nature outside that class it requires more time to CD, and is less effective. you can only use AoE if your either one of the casting classes, and even more so if your not spec'd for casting and oh yeah your weapon(s) pay for your casting as well. if your worried about strategy work out how to kill higher ranked mobs with non-traditional group make-ups, thats the best part about the way this game is, its completely non-traditional and some people cant wrap their brain cells around that idea and make it work. like in any MMO forums the minority just complain about the minority group grinding to get to a point where they are a huge combat multiplier, and i know that because the people like me that play to enjoy the game the way they made it usually dont waste our time posting in forums or doing the polls because we are busy working at becoming demigods

you know what else is boring as hell, getting to the end game hoping to get into raids then starting a noob and grinding through to cap just to repeat the process. this game eliminates the need to keep making new toons, you can slap on a new weapon and work on an alt class until something comes up where your main set-up is needed. about the only thing you can really do is increase you survivability in most situations.

they change the class system and we are just gonna have FFXI vrs 2.0, and nobody wants that. If you cant handle all that grinding then just play a main class with maybe an alt class, thats your prerogative, all i can say is the dev team should get a mass vote. a vote that would require 90% of the paying players and work off the mass majority instead of reading posts made by a few players with too many "good idea fairies". at least that way when people rage quit it wouldnt be 90% of the good players doing it.

that mass vote should go for anything major that is being thought of being implemented. bean counters dont get happy when hardly no clientele is coming in and a good chunk of clientele leave over a pretty bad choice.
