I have some issues with that, but overall, we have pleveling already, making it more effecient isnt neccesarily the end of the world, though it is dangerous in some respects.

He re affirmed that open world content wont be that important other than for leveling, he has mentioned it before, the implication is that, hey dont worry about how it effects NMs, because the important stuff will be instanced. that is actually his answer in multiple responses, so i dont think its innaccurate, surely you yourself can realize the only way it wont matter if overworld NMs have problems is if the instanced content reward is the same or better.

In fact, if the instanced content ISNT the same or better, then it means the overworld NM issues are still a big deal, and a lot more should be put into making it work, or even thrive with his planned claim system. Yet nothing has been mentioned on that front.

So if the game isnt instanced for important content, the claim system is a problem, if the game is, then your saying goodbye to important overworld content. You cant have it both ways, unless the claim system is built into the overworld concept, which it he hasnt said it will be anywhere.
Fixed, because you took what he said out of context as proof of an intent to do away with open world content, this was never said and the fact is we currently have concrete plans to add more open world content (in fact right now there is a hell of a lot more open world stuff being planned than instanced) which is probably why he felt the need to clarify that there would be lots of instanced content in the future:
for people who are afraid the "first party to attack gets claim" system which is identical to how it is now, and how XI does it will mean that all/most/too much (endgame/important) content will be potentially be restricted by competition.
