Is it me or are the random encounters too frequent and not fun

[Vex720]

I take a few steps in the wilderness and an airship drops, not more than a minute from the last airship drop. I'm in mid battle on a hunting quest and other mobs pop and an airship drops. I can't drive 500 ft at night and an encounter happens. The car cant drive past the encounters... why... This game is just tedious. The random encounters need to be toned down. Its just bad game design. Taking time and fun away from the player so the game time can be stretched. I find my self just running away from most of the encounters, just to progress. That just doesnt make you feel like the hero of the game anymore. It makes the characters less heroic and the game less fun and more like a tedious job.

Anyone have the same feeling?

Well those encounters are easily escapable and

Like i did i got at lvl 30 in really quick like start of chapter 3 lvl 58 at the end of chapter 3 because you are forced to sleep at it's end and lvl 77 after rushing to chapter 8 most encounters are really easy and eating at the chocobo farm for the 50% bonus exp + double xp from the resort

The only hard encounters were the giant snakes, the upgraded iron giant, couerl(underleved) and the necromancers((?) the guys who shoot a petrifying laser)

and a friendly reminder the daily quests helps the game to become even more broken just killed 100 cactuars and got 100.000 exp and they all come lvl 15 blizaga and Gladioulus each time one hit at least five at the same time

HERE WE GO! Before the game got released people were complaining there's not enough mobs around and there's nothing to do. (especially in the demo) And now people complain that there's too many enemies.

I don't see what the problem is. The more of those low level troops spawn the more AP you get to farm. I am already maxed out and got another extra 5000 AP just from farming those guys for the Magitek V2 suit. 1 shot kill = 1 free AP point.

Not sure if anyone else suggested this but: unlock the ability to switch to Ignis or Prompto (Through the Technique ascension tree) and switch to either one of them when the imperials come. Prompto can destroy a whole group of them with one rocket, and Ignis' ice blades are perfect for dealing with groups. Gladio can work too, but he won't kill them as quickly (he's best as a tank, really)
