I never said I would 'skip through fields and run into fairies,' I have absolutely no idea where you're getting that from. I assume you're referring to what a lot of people said about being able to see people in broad daylight killing/being killed by NMs outside, in areas you can run right through while on your way to do a leve or something. It makes the world much more colorful and interesting to see battles happening in real time like that.
And as to what I quoted from you in that post, you STILL have to get a group together in the same manner to do instanced content. I don't see the difference between an instanced PUG and a open-world PUG except that it would probably be loads easier to get a group together for open-world content because you don't have a required member amount. Also, I'm fairly certain that the vast majority of people who play this game are members of an LS. And even if their LS is more social-oriented and doesn't do scheduled content, that still makes the creation of SB/EXP/NM groups easier because you have personal access to a group of people on a daily basis. SOME of them have to be willing to lend a hand, right?
Today one of my LS-mates experienced glitch inside of the Bowl of Embers in which he could explore the entire area. You know what he found? Two or three caves that had invisible walls inside, and he couldn't look down the cliff because there was an invisible wall there, too. OMG SO MUCH STUFF TO EXPLORE HOLY SH*T.
