I was able to get through Anemos with minimal issue. Disliked being there, but it didn't feel to bad to progress. Pagos though... I don't like it at all. Not only is the beginning area just a bunch of white with a few green here and there, it's so unbelievably slow. Just being there mentally fatigues me, which happened in Anemos too, but it was tolerable. I just want out of Pagos after around half an hour, because I feel like i'm not progressing at all even if all i did during the whole lockout was kill mobs, which is basically all you can do anyway.

Something is seriously wrong with the dev team. There's no way they can look at Anemos, see the complaints, and then make Pagos exactly the same, but somehow worse at the same time. Sure, it can be that Pagos was too deep in development to change, but I rather take a delay (again) for good actual content than kill mobs in a different area.
