And yet, somehow, PC's always win. Always. There is not a single mob in the
game that players haven't beaten or will beat very soon. Not one.
Just because you can't do it solo doesn't mean the game is unbalanced. If
you could solo Vox, teaming up with just one other person would make the
game completely boring.
Do mobs have, in a roleplaying sense, unfair advantages? Sure. So what?
PC's beat them anyway. Verant has had to make mobs tougher, in fact,
because players were besting them too easily.

In the mean time, why not play Ultima Online, power-level a character, and
sit just outside of town and PK newbies? Or find a poplular teleport spot
in a busy dungeon and "Corp Por" adventurers all day long. I'm sure you'll
find that much easier than fighting NPC mobs in EverQuest.
