In a lot of cases it wasn't that bad at all. You could get from a to b with very little danger if you stayed in the beaten paths and followed the signs. Running from Bastok to jeuno for example with a level 1 alt wasn't a challenge if you stayed on the trails you'd hardly encounter a thing. Mobs were often placed well away from the beaten path.

Getting to exp camps was a little more dangerous but that was fine because that's why you were going there to find and kill dangerous stuff and get exp.
