It dawns on me, that I may have missed a point of Crazy's. It wasnt clear to me that he may have been referring to the end of the quest, and not the entire quest overall. My experience in testing the earlier part of the quests was that they have made them much easier/shorter.

The multiple enemies drawing a finer storyline, and keeping pirates in the general area that are designed for their pirate levels. More combinations of enemy levels makes a nicer progression overall. If however (and I believe this is the point I had missed, if so my apologies Crazypirate), one was was to rush through the quest, and be somewhat a low level pirate without leveling, the latter part of the quest will be harder if not impossible to beat without assistance especially with the shortened easier beginning quests.

From an overall approach however in a balanced pirates progression, I would say it is easier.
I spent this afternoon, finishing Gunner, and finishing Mary Lash / Scary Mary, and they have considerably changed Scary Mary, and a low level pirate with weapons not trained/leveled, would definately be at a loss, I plugged right through it myself/solo, having a more balanced pirate, turned level 28 while finishing those to parts of the quest, my weapons are around level 13.

Added: You used to have to go searching for things, certain ships hard to find, etc. or they would be at another place you would have to go locate. During Scary Mary, everything was in her immediate vacinity. The only thing I can recall needing to venture out of perdida bay for was Revenants. I did not have to sail around looking for what the quest required besides sailing to Isla Cangrejos, which had all that portion of the quests requirements in its vacinity as well.

They ARE moving in a positive direction... no doubt. I think its the 3 steps forward, 2 steps back progress that seems to frustrate everyone.
Keep up the great work POTCO.
