I just wish there was a way to fit both in, to give us the best of both worlds. I know, I know, XI references are something you guys don't generally like. But why not something XI-ish... There were so many instanced raid-type situations. But at the same time, for the ones of us who loved the rush of getting KB with 60 people hoping you die so they can get it. Then not getting D-ring.

I do support instanced raids, but I don't want the game to depend on everything to be "instanced"
Simple. Like Zaharak, have an open-world stronghold but at the end of it have the entrance to the instanced raid. I think that's the best way to make everyone happy.
