Ahhh, that makes sense. Thank you.

My original point pretty much remains then, it wasn't like I thought it wasn't scaled back at all or something. There is just clearly a difficulty change based on the kind of gear you have. Either way, I can now level other classes through fates again since the grinding hoards are gone, so I don't really care on the technicalities.
