Just pointing out you can have objectives in an open world map. Just have timed events. Basically one big pvp fate that is scheduled and people can see when the next one is and whoever feels like it shows up.

That doesn't negate any of the other valid points you have made (which you've got some really good ones), but just saying...An open world map does not have to always equate objective-less.
