    I think a majority of the people posting "that sounds way too haaaaaarrrddd, or too painful" probably haven't played much of the oldschool MMO's that had this as a core concept. Most of the time you didn't have to rely on high level players to get your business done. Sometimes you did though, and having to form social interactions based around helping people was what formed real guilds, not ones that are glorified chat rooms.

    It isn't a question about difficulty. It is a question of why even bother? FFXI at least has the excuse that most of it's content was in an open world environment which also in it's own right could get very chaotic if you had a high population server. In this game it is pointless, inconvenient, and only takes up space that could be used for other content that actually progresses your character. Go to Diadem or the upcoming Eureka if you want a simulation of high level mobs in a open zone.

    and just because the older MMOs or earlier iterations of current MMOs did something aggravating to their players doesn't mean that we all enjoyed it. I didn't and by the sound of it, others who played in games like that didn't either.

    I prefer it the way it is. If I want a challenge I can find it, but if I just want to get to a quest hub I generally can without getting stomped.
