There's a balance that I don't think is ever properly met.
I honestly hate maps where an event/quest/etc. has to occur every 10 steps as much as one where there's absolutely nothing there.

I'd love to see maps expanded that contain nothing in the new area more than unique geography and landscapes to allow the world to feel expansive and remote.

The biggest obstacle to this is that the scale of the existing zones is absolutely terrible, so either the entire game would need to be remade (again), we'd get zones of varable scale (5 steps in Eastern Shroud = 20 steps in New Zone X), or we're SoL and stuck with a hyper-condensed, dinky world that just feels like a platform to serve up fates and quests. :-/
