That person (not the OP) not only is forgetting the realities of already existing MMOs (and console RPGs) that have the same lack of transition between zones, but probably has no idea what it would take for them to change the zones without massive amounts of work for trivial gain.

I understand OPs talk because I played XI too, and he's right. But I'm tired of people talking about how great XI was, rarely ever acknowledging something SE did right about XIV and making little to no effort in contributing something constructive to the improvement of THIS game.

Btw I'm in no way shape or form a fan boy of SE. In fact I think they made some of the worst MMO design choices for both XI and XIV. However many of the participating players in the forums here are making the game sound worse than it really is and making XI sound better than it really was I think. It's completely unconstructive around here 70% of the time and it's time to hear more constructive critisizm.

I like Kidkaze's suggestion of spreading level progression to already existing areas, but I'm concerned about what the consequences of that might be for the existing areas.
