As the title says, overland questing has been far too easy for those of us that hit certain CP thresholds and have decent equipment. Even while purposely nerfing our characters through deallocation of CP and unequipping gear there's no forgetting proper rotations that also make the overland trivial. Trash dies in a couple of abilities and bosses die while they are still monologuing. Companions will see little use as support for experienced players outside of dungeons. A veteran overland would help questing feel more engaging and the zone updates more appealing. Companions could then be a valuable addition to even veteran players-- but their use in a veteran overland shouldn't then make even veteran content trivial.
With the new CP system and companions on the way now would be a good time to finally add a more difficult overland that provides a tough but fair challenge regardless of a companion being summoned or not.
