I remember when the game first came out, it was a lot more difficult, then they made PVE battles even easier than WoW. Even without a companion it's a cake walk. Most of my guild left due to how there was no challenge in combat. I have come back to check out the game, and now it's even easier, can you even die in this game outside of instances or do I have some settings wrong. Love the stories and everything else about the game, it's come a long way. But non-instanced combat is embarrassingly easy.
