The thing that stays number one priority on my mind.

I am not sure what the details are when the game goes official. But i would like it as in my personal honest opinion that FFXIV be a game with instances. And in these instances, the coffers, lay down the strongest of weapons and the hardest of armors which lay awaiting for adventurers like us. But of course the bosses will mount a serious challenge between us gamers and the treasure chests. I wouldn't want something like in FFXI's dynamis system where one group goes in and another has to wait. And for the Notorious Monsters out there, gear which they drop shouldn't be as good as the gear obtained in instances but mainly just for the titles obtained that you have killed this NM. This for what i see will make the players in general feel that everyone, from the weakest to the strongest has a chance to attempt for what they pay on a monthly fee. Every single paying client of FFXIV deserves equal treatment. I am pressing and hoping that there will be an air of fairness around Eorzea. And Yoshi-san, i do hope that you read this.

Q: All of the dungeons will become instanced, but does this mean all public dungeons disappear?
A: For the ones that require a certain amount of people, I think it would be better to be closed off, so please assume that this means they will basically disappear. However, there will still be beastman strongholds in the open fields.

The thoughts which I do have are a little unclear. Am just wondering if touching onto the issue of dungeons, NM & HNMs, would FFXIV adopt the concepts of World Of Warcraf which actually in return gave the players a fair playing field.

As far as "fairness":

If you pay the sub fee, you get everything that everyone else paying does. If you don't, you get nothing. That's fair. Don't dumb down endgame just so the casuals can play it and get the same rewards as the people who devote more time. Dynamis type system won't be an issue, as it isn't even an issue in XI any more.

Other than those concerns.... I can't really make out what you are trying to say. Paragraph breaks help immensely.

I would prefer to keep some content not instanced like the NMs and strongholds. some competition is only healthy imo.

Ah, yeah, definitely. Even The-MMO-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named is reintroducing world raid bosses in the next expansion.

As long as casuals know the mechanics and devote less time than those who devoted more, gear drops should be of the same. Doesn't mean someone who plays longer deserves better.

And for NMs & strongholds, if there's going to be camping and competition, it's healthy but instances gear should be of the best quality where everyone scores a chance to obtain it.
