When I started my first job quest straight after the servers came back up I thought "no, SE why? Not just farming those damned NM's we've all solo'd a million times again!"
Then it became a bit more challenging and I was happy. Cutters cry was a nightmare until we figured out how to get around properly. Soe of the boss fights took five or six attempts before we figured out a strategy, which I think is about the right level of difficulty for af quests.
I'm fairly pleased, I think SE got this one right.
