There will be Monsters Roaming to kill like normal, just they are adding other means of getting exp besides grinding on mobs all day long. For the people that can't tolerate doing the same thing over and over again.
I don't think anyone doubts there will be roaming monsters. The fear is that grinding them in a party will no longer be a viable or efficient method of getting exp -- as is the case in every game the uses a quest/instance driven leveling style.
