The world feels too small.

The world seems plenty big enough to me. How much more time do I have to spend just to get from the Waking Sands to Ul'Dah? It is 3 minutes by Chocobo porter. It is easily double that to run with sprints mixed in. And you haven't even gone all that far. I think player will start to get annoyed if takes 10 minutes to just go between places to do their main quest.

Definitely bigger than Rift or Aion. ABSOLUTELY bigger than WoW. TERA also had some pretty tiny zones. Now, GW2 was a bit bigger. But the overall landmass was roughly the same, probably smaller.

This is an Aion map, there are no loading points in this map, 98% of the map is accessible there are very few nooks and crannies you can't access. Even though some shouldn't be accessible due to getting stuck x.x the island at the top you can't get too its just decoration. In ffxiv there's a a ton of spots on the map that you can't walk through, even though you should be able too. I was over in the area where the Shiva's crystal is and theres so many puddles that you can't run through its insane. Not to mention the maps are just small there's loading screens even in the dungeons! I mean really?

Which zones? Granted I only got up to just over level 40, but all the zones I saw were about the same size as the ones in WoW.

I think y'all need to go back and play Warcraft again. Any given zone can be traversed in a minute or two. Especially with the 315% flying mounts.
