I think they should included same changes to area's during all these patches and beyond not an overhaul all at once but small increments gradually adding uniqueness to each area over time. If one thing they learn from ffxi imo is the copy/paste technique and using it way to much and need to move away from that approach when possible. There were time's when I would see something that caught my eye and said hey what that and head over to be disappointed. There's a sense of no lifeness in my opinion to the areas they need to gradually give npc's/mob some kind of pattern to counter that. But thats my two cent on the supject.
