Just spent a half hour running around caledon forest opening boxes for the monthly. None of the ventari gave me trouble, and I was solo the entire time save for when occasionally someone else nearby would help out a bit. Didn’t die once – balancing seems fine to me, don’t know what all the fuss is about.
Please don’t make things a walk in the park because a few people who cant play their classes cry on the forums, a challenge is a good thing!
