More Horizontal Progression please

Really? Even that I don't see...with all the people in Mor Dhona/Idyllshire constantly talking, and with how small the game world is, I run into people all the time. Meanwhile when I played WoW I would never run into anybody because the game world was much larger, there was only a handful of times I ran into anybody I knew or met someone and became friends, and everytime it was always in orgrimmar. In XIV, it's happened everywhere nearly and much more often due to the 'smaller' areas and more generalized idle locations, as well as party finder.

I guess I don't understand this point.

Sure, they are talking. However, you don't need them to do anything. You don't feel danger when exiting the city. You don't feel any excitement. There is no challenge to the zone, the shout is probably talking about politics or something stupid. They are names and faces you forget.

Of I'm not mistaking,... The mmo RIFT started dungeon finder. Correct me if I'm wrong someone

I didn't say WoW invented it. WoW barely invented anything, pretty much copied most of its ideas from everyone else.

So like every other MMO today then.

The days where the open world is dangerous and requires multiple people to traverse through is long gone and won't return. Difficulty of that kind is seen as nothing but an inconvienence, blame today's lazy gamers. At least in this game you have fates and raid encounters.

It's amusing when people use this as an excuse, they never refer to themselves.

"I feel you but there's this bunch of people who can't stand actual mmos these days. There's a lot of them even though, but I'm not actually one of them! And...I'm gonna stand up for them even if I don't see eye to eye with them."

Wait, no, it's not amusing at all.
