As I said before, I think the level of incress in dificulty caught many of mid tier players like me off gaurd. The easy content up till now would have place mid-teir and lower mid-teir players in the upper brackets and (In my case for example) over inflated our egos. Till now I considered my self one of the Best Dragoons on Balmung Server. Now the bar has been raised and it turns out, i'm not nearly as good as I thought. This would be shocking as well to any one else that was overly use to the easyness of the content and wasn't expecting REAL dificulty rather than a small change in pace.
