Why does the world suck?

I did like that aspect from XI(i know this isn't XI, wKnighters). The danger of exploring a far off place cannot be replaced unfortunately. The dev team would say that's too hardcore though and that the 'casual' players wouldn't be able to progress through it... >.>

The problem with using XI as an example is that XI didn't do things any better. It was a LOT easier to wander around in that game randomly through areas of tightly packed max level mobs, sitting in the middle of them waiting for a coffer to spawn, because Invisible and Sneak were too effective even at level 1. You can't do that in this game unless you're a level 38+ gatherer.

I can actually effectively use any MMO as an example even down to dark age of camelot up to KOTOR or Terra, as long as there are areas with harder mobs that make it a challenge to move around in and explore. I have yet to enter an area by that description in ARR, but I hope I do!
