You know, like some other game.
This. I expected at least a few older pieces of content to become randomly unbeatable and other bosses to be randomly two-shot.

Granted, WoW's had, what, 3 stat squishes? It wasn't until their level squish (from 120, and what would have gone to 130, down to 60) that things got real buggy. So, hopefully XIV won't see the need to level-squish us after level 99 or 100, if that would likewise cause issues. (Though, there's no solid reason to believe it would. Just none, either, to believe it wouldn't.)
