Well I've come back to the game for the first time in months after hearing good things about the latest patch, and I've noticed there still arn't any real aggroing mobs around Lower La Noscea. Never thought I would miss it, but in FFXI we had beastmen and skeletons lurking in the lowbie areas, and though annoying, it gave the game a sense of danger and excitement. I eventually traveled from Limsa to Gridania and the entire way only saw one lonely gnat.

I feel safe not being attacked by something I didn't see after resting after a hard battle. Or getting slaughtered by goblins when I've almost made it to zone, but it feels a bit bland.

Does anyone else feel this way? Or is the game more dangerous once you get off the beaten path? I wait for an update that will place goblin muggers back in low level areas, and along main roads that will beat senseless the unaware adventurer.
