I'm sick of not having a sense of adventure in the open world as well. FFXI had a couple of things right, and one of them was needing to party up to explore the areas that held hard enemies. I'm not asking for sneak/invis/deodorize, but I'd really like the open world to engage me in the exploration. I would not be able to number the amount of times where I made a group to specifically run around in the dangerous areas of a place just for the fun of it. It was really fun for me to try to explore an area with some friends when I could be killed by an enemy.
