I think the massive, open zones fit Heavensward areas thematically. Stuff was either a harsh, desolate wasteland, or designed with the giant dragon's accessibility in mind.

This really wasn't translated as well to SB's new maps. The layouts just don't work as well, and swimming/diving felt wasted in some zones. "Here's one quest that reminds you this lake area can be dived in, thx."
