What exactly do you mean by a "more difficult and punishing" server?

Nothing but Titan EX

You only get 1/1 HP.

Get hit by anything and it's game over man! Game over!

No. Not so extreme as this but each mob would provide a challenge for a small party is the way I see it.

Like lv1 Ladybug hit you with 1/3 of your max. HP?
Or increasing the level of every open-word enemy by 10? (the lowest enemy would be at level 11 and the highest at level 60)

I don't mind something like this but at the moment I can solo three maybe four lv1 Ladybugs at once with a class lv1 and win comfortably. This is okay for me at low levels but I would expect after lv20 they got alot harder, like increasing the level of every open-word enemy by 10?

Why not have level 2 enemies be as strong as 2 level 1 enemies, so your level 50 enemies would be as strong as 50 level 49 enemies?

Rose tinted FFXI glasses...The difficulty ramp in the open world in FFXI was there to literally force you into partying to exp. not a bad thing persay but that isn't FFXIVs exping style. It would end up just being a pain in the ass. It's already wipe city if you try to do dailies as a sub-50 class. Run into the depths of the Mines and see how long you last at 47-48 with all the Elite kobolds.
