FFXIV's current state

@ thayos To be blunt it is a grand thing the devs don't listen to people like you.
1. This is a dungeon based game leveling is done in dungeons therefore the main way you interact in this game is in instances of 4, 8 or 24 players.

2 The overworld has its purposes for gathering fates and the leveling experience within an expansion. They can't make the overworld a threat to players who are well above the gear and level of all of the areas without hurting the leveling experience of new and returning players and any one who makes an alt.

3. Making mobs be like they were in older mmos is just asking for all the server drama to be multiplied forever. We all have fond memories of doing stuff with our guilds but you seem to be glossing over all the ks wars and guild and server drama that were a direct result of those types of mechanics.
