I'm curious regarding those saying "No" - if these mobs were out of the way from the well trodden path and served no hindrance to your travels, but
would allow for
fun, what is the reason you don't want this? Do you actually think you should be able to solo everything in the open world content? That seems rather absurd considering this is not a game people are supposed to solo. We have instanced fights and FATEs with mobs higher than L50, why not have a random bunch in the middle of nowhere in which eight man parties can go and farm for items? There is literally no reason I can think of
not to have this.
...it doesn't make sense to me that those that take on Ultima Weapon and win are sent on the run-around to fulfill people's daily botany supply quests, nor that the leadership of all the worlds know us personally but the NPCs in the streets act as if we're new to town, nor that we ard considered "the main hero" when the same thing is said to thousands of other players (those butt-kissing leaders...

). I think having some pretty brutal monsters out there makes a little
more sense lore-wise, if anything. I don't think it makes sense lore-wise to have thousands of L50 adventurers and yet monsters still
exist. I mean, who the
hell is magicking up full grown animals like that? It's insane!
