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!
    First of all, the Fun example is what FATE evolved from. Behemoth/Odin or any other Boss FATE is like that. Second, roaming primals are coming so you'll have your exclusive hard monsters running around. Now as for reason FFXIV ARR is designed like it is: Player Poll 1, Player Poll 2. The truth is people didn't want the headaches of FFXI to be reborn into FFXIV. The over use of prism powder and silent oil get around wasn't hard, just annoying. The claim fights over HNM were tiresome. The game does need more open world content but not lv70 mobs running around just of the sake of fluff.
