Quests too hard for their recommended level!

[Denmo]

I just did In the Name of Science. Rank 10 quest. Defeat 4 Spriggans. I'm a rank 14 GLA, fully equipped for my level. Fair enough. My thought was, even though the game has been adjusted stat-wise, and most of the enemies that are you level are more difficult, the quests should reflect that and still be soloable. Should be cake right?


Well it wasn't. I get to the cave where the lil' buggers are, and they were all level 15, closely bunched together, and aggro'd on sight.

I had to pull one at a time, and each one was a struggle. Had I not brought potions, fully rested in between each one, and avoided any linking, I would've never been able to finish.


I had the same problem with the storyline quest in Uldah, the one where you go against the Coblyns? They were hitting me for 100hp per attack! And there were so many. No way I could finish the quest at the supposed level that you would've before.


So is anyone else noticing this? And if you're listening SE, are you going to make adjustments or just let us stew in our newfound misery?

Maybe its just me but it sounds kinda fun to have a low level challenge... everything else low level has been cake in the past.

They also want you to group up, so hopefully they fix the party seek features very soon.

Then the quest should recommend that you party up. I'm just saying, why unlock a quest at rank 10 if you can't finish it until you're rank 15+?

But, you did finish it, right? It just wasn't a cakewalk like it would have been before.

I did, but at 4 levels above the recommended, with full gear, and I used about 6-7 potions, and cured myself about 2-4 times per fight.

This isn't rocket science, people! I do appreciate the challenge, but what if I was level 10, had no potions, and/or wasn't fully equipped? Either the quest should be rebalanced to accommodate for the recommended level, or the recommended level should be fixed to show the actual amount of challenge.
