The future of the game

Something i really miss from XI are notorious monsters, this was one of the reasons for me to explore alot of areas, just go out and find some NMs even though the drops were crap i had a blast. i miss alot of things from XI especially my summons rawr.

Was this something like a Fate Boss, without the big indicator on the world map? Was it something that required a group, or was it something you could solo through great effort?

I think I'd like something like that. The only problem is that I hate RNG with a passion, so I'd miss out on a lot of good stuff because I didn't want to be bothered with it.

Do wish they would make mob spawns weather dependant... some noly in certain weather or day/night etc.

And yes more open world stuff to do.

I like the weather-changing mobs idea a lot, actually. It would change up questing quite a bit, as well as Fate grinding.

What kind of Open World stuff are people looking for? I've always thought of it as stuff like gathering and crafting (maybe more varied, but the same general concept), sidequests that are ultimately just like the regular quests, but optional, and other small minigames that break up the monotony but are generally not requirement or giving rewards that aren't mandatory to have, but extremely cool if you do.
