Is this the future for the rest of ARR's upcoming expansions and updates?

hmmm really ? I played 1.0 too, and i don't remember anything to do outside farming darklight gear in 2 dungeons. It was pretty much all instanced...like now. Don't fool yourself, farming tapers in stronghols is not a good definition of open world content.

You didn't go to strongholds to farm coffer keys? You didn't kill any NMs?

Doors on the right

Lovely contribution there, thank you so much for your insights.

I like dungeons but I would like open world content even more. Can't we have both? And FATEs aren't same as wandering to a random area and come across a monster that has a weird name.. go poke it and end up running for your life because it was an NM.

nm in 1.0 ? The ones who got ignored by everyone because dropped shit and repopped every 5 minutes ? AHAHAHAHAHAH. And this was the better open world content 1.0 had to offer.

um..... great buffalo for buffalo horn, axe and lance head to craft what was the best weapon at the time???? goblin NM in shroud for sleeves and blunt sword to craft aeolian scimitar??? dodore for dodore's wing to craft dodore's doublet, which was also the best crafting body??
