Not everyone participated in the stuff you claim to be 100% of FFXI.
Because Vrtra had nothing good to go after to even bother camping. people went after him because they were bored.

Assault, Besieged, Campaign, ENM, ZNM, BCNM, Dreamworld Dynamis, Limbus, Sea, Quests, Leveling, none of these overtly focuses on "Claiming your content" Stop with your hyperbole. XI had tons of content outside instances that was worth doing and hardly ever as competeted for as you make it out to be.
Assault, ENM, BCNM, ZNM(bosses). dynamis, Limbus - instanced



The thing XI did was give you such a amazing expansion of option to do, with the level cap being 75 for so long the ammount of gear you could wear was astounding, just because some people obsessed over abjuration gear when there were hundreds of other viable options to them isn't SE's problem they weren't going to break game balance just to get people to come off of HNM's. Abysea did that, now it's all instanced and boring as hell.
comparing a game with its expansions to one that has none kinda pointless.

Want to get anywhere in XI nowdays? Abysea runs!
Abyssea is actually open world simply because everyone is together in the same zones. and you complain about it?

Yes it basically is simply because with open world you always have the Chance to do said content. because its open to all
2 groups already there? will to bad for you there goes your plans for the night. however with instance you always get to do what you want. 6 groups doing darkhold? that's fine you still can go and and get the event done have fun. You say its not claim game but it is. no matter how you do it. if the event is open to everyone. you will always have a chance just to do the event.

Once again most of XI's content was Instanced. the only time XI became more focused on open world content was get ready. ABYSSEA! Abyssea was the 1st time you can get all your gear from open world. it completely killed off everything else. Every other place in the game because 100% useless. you were either in Jeuno or abyssea.
