Not really. IMO FFXI was never challenging other than while playing with lowbies...Past 35 it was very easy to grind...the challenging aspect was only for the abilities restrictions of the patheic mechanics of that game...like SAm having to stick with the lv1 WS (forgot the name) until 45 (if not mistaken) when you learn Tachi Jinpu just because the game wasn't able to offer you a single good thing during this period.

IMO the only "challenging" part of FFXI grind was to find enough BRDs...
Yes it's much more challenging with all of this you mentioned than what we have now, skip the last expansion packs I have no idea which one are you talking about because i quit the game when they introduced some new areas but am sure I was there when they had chains of promathia. Anyways, when I think about Crawler's Nest level area then forward till you reach 75, yes it was very challenging and fun, it takes a team effort. I don't know how they screwed it up because I wasn't there when they did but am guessing the wings of the goddess part where the TP thing you mentioned occurred ?
