Nah, they weren't ever dangerous, just annoying.



As for the open world thing, I don't think it would work in the modern MMO. Not because of a lack of interest, but because of how old open world MMOs functioned. Just look at XI and NMs for instance. You had people botting claim just to have a chance to get loot. Can you imagine that in XIV? Or, if they made them like fates, youd have it even worse than hunts if world bosses dropped good loot.
