I guess in today's world these are considered dungeons.. But the difference was you could go into one of these places and there were no time limits and not instanced.. Also they weren't long hallways.. They were multi purposed and if you were doing a questline boss often times it would be in a room that was instanced so you didnt have to contented with outsiders. This model made the world feel MUCH larger and much more like a world instead of a carnival.. which is what FFXIV feels like to me.. Bring this style back! Who's with me!

I'm with you OP.

You can't never really bring something back when it was never there in the first place.

We had open world dungeons in 1.0, they were just really really sad and poorly done.

As for RMTs... This isnt any different then the outside world.. except... its inside.. The items that drop can still be U/U.. there can be some item pop bosses inside.. special fates... No need to be scared of RMT issues...

And last... just because im asking for these types of areas doesn't make my suggestio an xi-2 request... there are plenty of other games with open world dungeons vs long hallways for 60 minutes with the same exact pattern and bosses closed dungeons.

The type of dungeons im asking for you can explore solo (harder though) or in a party.. whatever you prefer...

Am I the only one that read the "You can not never" and phased everything else out? :|

Were it not for the fact that when we had open dungeons in 1.0. RMTs just camped the mobs that dropped loot or had fast spawn rates and legit players never got to touch them, I might be in favor of this.

I never saw RMTs camping open dungeons during 1.0
I saw them spaming leves at Camp Horizon and Cedar Wood.

We tried exp grinding parties in Mun Tuy in 1.0, but it was always overrun with RMT. Not saying your point is invalid, but neither is mine.

Exp grinding in mun-tuy? Yoe ever did leves (where RMTs can't kill your mobs) to get the best exp there or you farmed for mats but not for exp.
