Open world content...

[indira]

i'm not saying i don't want any instances. i'm just saying i want there to be a variety of stuff. some instanced, some open world, and some like leves where it's open instance. i just want a variety of things to do. i don't like all instanced since that ruins the full reason for redoing the maps and making a massive world to explore if you have no need for it.

yeah i understood, but 100% instanced no thanks. FFXI did it right with a mix. im hoping for that.

I feel the same. FFXI had a great balance. I met most of my friends throughout the game while doing open world content.
I feel XIV is greatly lacking balance, and it sounds as if it still will be in 2.0.

I would like people to be forced out of the cities more, rather than sitting in the same town all the time waiting for something interesting to pop up.

I would love to have to travel the lands rather than teleporting directly to an instance.

And I would prefer a content finder (if we have to have one) that would prioritize grouping with people on my own server.
I'm not going to bother making friends with people who I can't play in the open world with, and meet up with anywhere in the game at any time.
It doesn't even make sense for a role-player.. I meet someone.. I can't see someone again because... what? they're magically in some other dimension? ._.; That really kills immersion for me. lol
