All they really need to do is add some open world content that attracts a group of players, but doesn't lend itself to outright zerging (FATES). Just seeing a group playing in the open world areas, that weren't then followed by 10 other groups standing on the same spot doing the same thing (FATES again) made the world feel more alive, without it being stupid and forced.

There's so much potential for rewarding group based open world content that it'd be almost unbelievable for the Devs to focus exclusively on instanced content and ignore the whole great big Eorzean wilderness that player so desperately want a reason to play in.
