Was there really a need to make leves harder?

I can't believe what I'm hearing from the complainers... "This madness is stupid! I as a level 1 conjurer can't solo a quest that clearly states meant for a legion of players 8 levels above me! This game sucks now!"

To attract new players the content from 1 - 5 / 10 shouldn't be a struggle. It should be fun and a way of learning the basics of the game. Not sure how the tutorials are.

An idea might be to add low level rewards in form of gear low-lvl gear? Most new players (unexperienced FFXIV players) won't have gil to buy gear.

I like the new changes but I dislike it being harder for new and unexperienced players to join the game / have fun.

And for all those "this game is not about soloing blah blah blah". Come on... we live in 2011... An MMO made from the same recipe as FFXI won't last. MMO's need to have some solo content atleast when leveling.
