We know you want the game to be easy as hell, but that's not a fun game. People want to play fun games. There was tonnes of people considering quitting if the dungeons were as easy as the content they added before that.

A rank 42 mob is nothing to a rank 30, you can solo a normal rank 42 mob at rank 30, NMs are obviously going to be stronger than other mobs of their rank.
