    As I'm sure you are well aware, it takes more than one person to be able to kick a player from a duty, so in all those instances there were at least two people agreeing they'd be better off without you tanking.

    That would imply that the old content sucks compared to new one, which isn't true. I am a new player (only been playing for 2 months), and I can tell you that ARR story and just the scenerey and a whole new world were so exciting that I actually wanted to explore. The best example is East Shroud. I never thought Sylphlands were so big. I was really surprised when I got to go there. A level 20 me could have never imagined it East Shroud expanding to that point. Sigh, I really don't like this. It takes away so many good things for a simple convenience...

    Cutting down grinding I can understand. (It is far easier to get good gear at level 50 now than when the game launched for example)
    But making maps "auto-explored" doesn't really speed up anything - except for those people who really want the exploration achivements but don't want to do any actual exploration.
    It removes some of the fun in exploration while adding a tiny bit of convenience - a convenience that nobody asked for.
