Risk Factor. Can I have it?

[OranGemeo]

I definatley agree that there is just no real strategy when it comes to fighting most mobs - which is something XI had and did it well. The system we have in place now, makes every mob feel about the same. There's honestly no point to look for an EXP camp or better mobs to kill, you just simply kill everything in your path. (Monsters go from way too easy to WTF hard and that's about it in XIV) A lot of this goes to the pace of battle we have now. I ideally think someone solo should be able to take on a mob their exact level, a group of 4 should be able to take on about 3-5 levels over, and a group of 8 about 7-9 levels over.

There are definatley some exceptions, but it's still sort of poorly executed. I will say fights like Batraal and Ogre (especially previous, Ogre is cake now) were well thought out as well as Ifrit and Moogle. Had there not been just instant rentry to the two primals, its no telling how long it would have taken for anyone to get the win. I think the instant rentry they have in place is because there is such a lack of content, that if they restricted it, people would even have less to do...
