Why does the world suck?

[Torx]

Please please please in the future add more difficult open world areas where it is actually a requirement for parties to progess through, maybe with open world coffers that have keys dropped from open world mobs that are higher level than level 50. Every mob in the open world that is not a FATE can be solo'd. The world is freaking gorgeous, let us explore it! I don't like just sitting in town waiting for the stupid ass dungeon finder to pop.

TLDR - PLEASE ADD MORE OPEN WORLD SHIT THAT REQUIRES TEAMWORK (NOT FATES). KTHX

I'll take "F.A.T.E." for 200 Alex.

So you enjoy the fact that you can run through and explore every place in the entire game on a level one character? There is no excitement to explore. Yea the areas look great, but the world sucks overall. Once you get past white knighting SE you will realize this.

Good luck running past level 49 mobs at a low level. Even on a chocobo, you won't be able to most of the time. They inflict heavy and you're screwed. You're not going to get very far in the beastman tribes without a high level 40 character. Enemies are everywhere and many have ranged attacks.

A level one character will die the second it gets aggro from an Archer or mage monster. Like my level 10 character Chocoboing between Uldah and Gridania.

I did like that aspect from XI(i know this isn't XI, wKnighters). The danger of exploring a far off place cannot be replaced unfortunately. The dev team would say that's too hardcore though and that the 'casual' players wouldn't be able to progress through it... >.>

The problem with using XI as an example is that XI didn't do things any better. It was a LOT easier to wander around in that game randomly through areas of tightly packed max level mobs, sitting in the middle of them waiting for a coffer to spawn, because Invisible and Sneak were too effective even at level 1. You can't do that in this game unless you're a level 38+ gatherer.

I can actually effectively use any MMO as an example even down to dark age of camelot up to KOTOR or Terra, as long as there are areas with harder mobs that make it a challenge to move around in and explore. I have yet to enter an area by that description in ARR, but I hope I do!

I love exploring the world.
... but I love doing it without needing to drag my less-exploration-oriented friends with me.

There's plenty of things to do in groups. Meandering Eorzea doesn't need to be one of them.
