So are most mobs on this server the same as on retail? Or are their stats/powers different? As in: will certain mobs absolutely destroy you because they are overtuned when on retail they typically would be fine? I've noticed in the Dunes that people avoid crabs in general, which seems odd.
I dont know why you are being told no, many of the mobs are definitely different from retail. It becomes very obvious the higher level you go and you try to stick to any of kind of retail xp guide. Not that Im complaining, it's just a different set of camps, but the camps people persistently go to are chosen because the old retail ones arent as good. Once people get into the 50+ levels they have plenty to do. Sure exping at a bad camp is better than no xp, but is it better than starting cop, af, limit breaks, farming, crafting, etc? This is why xping in the higher levels can be kind of brutal for finding parties and replacements, very hit or miss.

Crabs are easy but slow. They seem to have even more HP and DEF than on retail and most of their TP moves revolve around dragging out the fight.
Especially after how badly blms were nerfed recently. They feel really undertuned in xp parties in the lower levels now.
