Does else anyone miss "open dungeons"? Old FFXIers?

[ApolloGenX]

I would never miss this because when playing Ragnarok Online, everyone would always be farming the same exact area and it was almost impossible to fight a boss because there'd always be people camping it. So no, while open world may seem like a fun thing, in the end, it becomes frustrating for players who only have a few hours to login per day and don't have time to camp out a boss or a spawn. For people who love those kinds of things, there are FATES.

Then don't do it. Optional content is optional.

Having these doesn't mean there couldn't be instanced dungeons. FATES are absolutely nothing like what is being discussed.

I don't care much about raiding... that doesn't mean I don't support creation of raid level content. People need to think beyond their own personal tiny little field of interest and consider what makes a game a comprehensive and interesting experience.
