in my eyes the difficulty or amount of effort required to kill regular mobs is alittle extreme, im not saying that its impossible if it was no one would be lvl 60 but around lvl 30ish i believe lvling stops being fun (at least for me) and starts to be a hassle, frustrating, or just annoying. the problem from what ive seen is standard mob difficulty is alittle to difficult. they deal way to much damage and have way to much health it turns it into a grind fest. and it kills the experience for me ive pushed through it once cause i was into the story of the game and that part i really liked. but i cant do it anymore its to frustrating i spend way to much time killing mobs that do kill me from time to time and healing and getting rdy for the next pull. im rantting now, the only reason im saying anything is becuase this game has the potential to be something so great and i want to enjoy playing it so bad, i do enjoy every other aspect of the game just the frustration of lvling is allmost to much to bear. and im sure some one will be like its lvling its never fun or something like that , and to respound i have this to say i have 15 lvl capped characters on world of warcraft 4 on guildwars 2 , 1 on wild star, and 1 on this game. all mmo's and all require patience and rinse repeat lvling/questing. i mean your suposed to be a bad A** your either some kinda combat ready super solider/freelancer/mercenary or a jedi/sith. lvling in this game i feel like a kid getting smacked down by hulk hogan when im questing later in the game and it kills the experience for me when i can die so easilly. but im rantting bottom line. lvling is to frustrating, way to much down time (healing/reloading), its way to easy to die from regular mobs, and encounters for normal mobs ussually take to long. again this ussually starts like 30-35 some where in there that it starts to become a problem. if anyone wants to add something go ahead and if u want to call me an idiot go ahead. im just sad about how the lvling is later in the game. makes it hard for me to push forward into end game content when i hate what i have to deal with to get there. i ussually do have alot of fun earllier though.
