YoshiP seems to confuse difficulty with tediousness

The BLM boss can be quite a pain when those fireflies pop out and instantly spam ancient magic on your rear.

People do lvl 30-45 quests with lvl 50 jobs and complain about difficulty...

[Vaen]

This is why I didn't level any job higher than 30, before the patch. So I could progress with the advanced job quests as intended instead of rushing through it at a high level with amazing gear.




(p.s. I'm not saying that my way is better/worse than having lots of jobs at 50 already; there's pros and cons to both. My cons include the fact that it'll still be a while before I can experience the awesomeness of the primal battles and all the high-level stuff in this patch!)

I actually think the difficulty is exactly where it needed to be for the Dragoon quest line. I loved the entire thing, start to finish.

I'd say it is better considering you're at least getting the opportunity to experience how it should be experienced.

Plus anyone doing the Warrior or Bard job is not saying that is too easy. I personally have not been able to pass the Ant Princess to get my Bard gear, what about you?

Haven't managed to get my War piece there either... so I decided to get all WHM together and try again later using a certain suggestion made earlier. (That and my LS mates needed WHM...)

Put it into perspective, people. If you had a group of 75's doing AF quests in XI, it would be seen as THIS EASY (too easy) too.

The fact that AF was released long after MOST people have at least one 50 (and the majority of those have multiple of those) makes it look like the AF quests are crazy easy. Granted, you need to BE 50 to flag the AF quest, but most people starting the game after these quests were introduced will have to sit through the slow, steady progression of class quests AND job quests.

I always found it interesting how class quests stopped at 36. I wanted something BEYOND that. Now it all makes sense. When you're actually leveling a job, 5 levels can feel like a 'long time' and quests to obtain different abilities/gear can also feel like a 'long time'. It seems like every time I see a new patch come out for any MMO, many people complain about how 'easy' it was. Well yeah... if it's not designed for strictly endgame content, it's going to be easy to an extent... especially when EVERYONE is running around doing it at the same time.

In a few weeks, when 'doing job quests' is not the hot new thing, it will be harder to find people to help you because there won't be dozens of people standing conveniently around the job quest NPC.
