I guess I have to say it for anyone who enjoyed open world content.

I enjoy the mechanics of open world conent.

One of your largest issues seems to be with overcrowding, that while an issue in games fully fleshed out this is not usually a huge issue. With stuff like HNM aside most the games content was spread out far enough that you couldn't be anywhere at the drop of a hat so you were invested in whatever activity you were doing and didn't just lolwarp to the nearest hunt that spawned to zerg the zone.

People are more spread out doing multiple kinds of content.

Farming, leveling, fighting, hunting, gathering. Each task was a activity itself requiring you to focus on it. XIV is a jack of all trades in this aspect you can do pretty much anything whenever you want. XIV has overall went overboard on the streamlining of game mechanics.
