Suffice to say, the extremes it was taken to in FFXI caused two people I knew to swear to never set foot in the Aht Urghan zones. Don't really want to see that here.
No no.
Don't you get it? Having to rely on tricks, gear, potions, and companions is what bring spice to exploring. Anyone can just walk to a place. But it takes an explorer to brave the dangers using strength and wit to surpass or circumvent whatever foe stands in your way.
