It really depends on your class. Orange, for some classes, has never been hard.
But that is not going to change. The reason why is leveling. Orange gives the best XP. So to help people level fast, they have made it so that most classes can solo oranges.
Think of it this way, what does making it harder do for you other than solo things down? So instead of killing 3 oranges you instead kill 3 blues or 1 yellow.
But if what you want is challenging mobs, then i suggest you go to Catacombs or ToA. Oranges or even yellows can be very dangerous there. They have combat styles, spells, call for help, BAF, etc. But if all you are doing is sitting in an old part of the world grinding mobs, then they are very basic with no advanced powers or a good AI.
Great thread! I agreed 100% that it has become a bit to easy to take on higher level mobs, however just look at it like OJ is the new blue.
Maybe I'm just a little to old school or whatever, but I like to level all my alts without any help from my 50's. What makes the game easier is that good drops are everywhere and it's so easy to have your toons temp'ed all the way to 50, even without crafting help. Just saying, give it a try, start from "scratch" with your alts... the reward is a lot greater and so is the diff. level.

To be honest DAoC was never really a PvE game as far as I am concerned after your ToA get your scrolls ect rest of your gear just pvp ,,,
