I know that in ffxi many people complained about the fact that you had to wait for stuff like dynamis and such because it wasnt instanced. But thats another story. I sometimes think they misunderstood it completely.

There is no need to make every content instanced. The upcoming dungens is something different (comparable to dynamis one could say). Even quests where i have to kill like 2 mobs are instanced... if i have to kill beastmen, why isnt there a proper beastmen place where i have to go and kill? enough for everyone? or at least with decent repop rate. NMs Bosses, etc. something a story could be woven around.

That would make sense and give a feeling of adventure if you had to go deep into a beastmen outpost of some sort...

But noooo, you go around in the desert and a suddenly "enter the instance yes/no" pops... 2 lolbeastmen pop out of nowhere...

Its not a pop nm ... its just 2 beastmen... Why is everythign so random and lovelessly put into place?
The game sure is unique in all its "instanced-ness" ...

Make it unique with story, a consistent storyline, nice written quests, voice acting, etc... I really hope (though idoubt it) that the upcoming quest hubs are not just leves-2, i really hope they put more efford in creating content for these...

If not they rather stay nice landmarks without a function.
God i played PSU on Xbox and everything being instanced is fkin lame to the 10th power AND SO WAS THE CHAT BUBBLES >_<
