Rather than giving exploration XP I would like to have content that encourages us to visit far edges of the map. By this I don't mean the incredibly annoying walk 800 miles to visit an NPC type quests, but rather populating these areas with good mobs either for farming or xp groups. Placing NM's there, or other forms of content.

I think though that is entirely their plan from what I've read about their zone revamp and plans for 1.19 and 1.2.
