My concerns about a "worldless model" what are yours?

I would be pretty devestated if leveling in dungeons became the primary way of growing in experience, as that would mean that people would 'grow' seperately from those on their own server and would be less likely to get a sense of the community they are becoming a part of. That sounds like a very sad situation. I feel that a instances should be for special items, end-game content and perhaps special missions. But you should always have a good reason to party in the open world, too, and at the moment I believe experience is the main reason for people to do that. Well, in my limited experience of FFXIV, anyway!

Going to speculate for once and say I don't believe it will be devastating since they have level requirement, and most of them is already Lv45+ Getting the last 5 levels should not hurt. I don't know when lvl limit will increase

well not sure about you but I met most of my friends outside of leveling content so sure you will have some gap in the community but it only takes a bit of effort to fix it. It shouldnt be up to SE to create the community I mean they have given us all the necessary tools to do it ourselves. Also there are a lot of people that already refuse to join in pick up groups, I dont think content finder will change that at all. I know I would rather run with people I already know.

I prefer a mix, because those people I already know I only know because I once partied with them without knowing them. Obviously it's always great to party with a bunch of people you know, but most of the people I've partied with have all been from different LS's, but despite that we've all grown to know each other simultaneously and it's been quite neat. xD I imagine as I level, there will always ben one or two people who I don't know that I can then get to know. Hopefully it'll eventually get to the point that, like on FFXI even at L40 or so, I was able to run through Junon and see a mass of people I recognise, waving all the way.
