Most of which was instigated by the players rather than the game. You went to the dunes because that's the place where the three nations connected for the most part. It could have easily been Korroloka Tunnel or Buburimu Peninsula, but it became the dunes because of the players.

That being said, leves need to fall into the back burner because all they are is daily quests with a different name and on a 36 hour reset instead of being a 24-hour reset. Of course, "real content" is in the eye of the beholder. To me it would be quest chains with storyline and exp rewards attached. Built-in zone to zone progression supported by story rather than player driven. That sort of thing.
