Instance vs Open-World: what do you want more of?

[Rufalus]

No to open world content. Open world content outside of a few fates really isn't going to pose a challenge to anyone. Content where you aren't at a risk of dying is boring content. Boring content equals less subscriptions. Add some more zones in expansions, but patches need real content.

People have been asking for dangerous open-world mobs since the beginning of time and I think that suggestion should be taken seriously. Open-world doesn't have to be easy, remember.

But the trend is to make them easier and easier as time goes on it seems. So to me the chances of that happening without a major shakeup of management in a game company is nil.
