I agree, it's not an excuse, it's in fact a damn good reason to come up with something better. Supposedly MMOs are about playing together with other people. Why is there a system that prevents that?

And I disagree on you second observation, it works very well in the open world part if you design it properly. It has been done before, I don't see a reason why SE couldn't do it as well, if not better.
