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?

Haha that would be tough. What about this?

Levels 1-5 To remain as present
Levels 6-10 Rises 3lvs higher than present
Levels 11-20 Rises 6lvs higher than present
Levels 21-30 Rises 9lvs higher than present
Levels 31-40 Rises 12lvs higher than present
Levels 41-50 Rises 15lvs higher than present

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.

Lol yeah with the glasses With a group well equiped though I think you could run into the depths of the Mines, this could be managed. For me I see this style to be more sociable than how it is already.

Actually that was FFXIV's xp style in 1.0. You could solo but the fastest way to level was through xp grind parties in the open world. Which is really how it should be. They really need to add more leveling content that encourages advanced party play so people can actually learn how to play their class before max level >.> the game suffers far too much from this problem.

Also I'm really getting sick of this "Rose tinted FFXI glasses" or "FFXI nostalgia" crap people say. Did you ever take the time to think that people think fondly of the game because in certain ways it was le gasp better than FFXIV? It was certainly more like a freaking mmo than ARR is. People long for a time before every mmo was just a generic clone of WoW for a very good reason.
