There's a reason for that... You should see how incredibly abysmal the campaign experience can be for some. The difference between my experience and my spouse's playing next to me has been completely night and day due to the difference in luck with drops. That's why there's a market for gear at such low levels, because for many, many people the game is a literal chore to play due to no fault of their own but simply bad drop luck.

I beat Jamanra before trade2 was even open on a Witch. I think the real issue of this thread and a shocking one at that is that OP and at least 40 other people:

A) Had trouble with Jamanra and could not progress. (Of course, this happens from time to time, we see people ask for help in global chat every now and then. This is not the main issue.)

B) Turned to using the ingame social menu to find a party for the campaign boss they were struggling with. A natural step for a new player.

C) Having made use of in-game features to attempt to ameliorate their experience, these people in fact made the game much harder for themselves because the game does not explicitly mention monster / boss hp scaling up in parties.

So it follows that the game should mention hp scaling up in parties somewhere very explicitly and also perhaps enemy HP scaling should work slightly differently in campaign given that this scenario can happen. Agree or disagree, this kind of thing shouldn't be happening when new players are making an honest attempt to continue playing using every UI tool they are given.
