Really? Care to point me to some where people specifically say they're sick of instanced content and want seamless/open world content?

Because all of the complaints about dungeons that I've seen on the WOW forums are either "this dungeon is a total rehash", "we shouldn't be killing that boss for lore reasons" and "this dungeon heavily favors one class over another". I have not once seen someone on the WOW forums say "instances suck! They're bad for the game! Stop focusing on instances!"

You WoW purest need to get outside WoW and its clones and realize what the genre truly has to offer, only then will you truly realize how horribly limiting an endgame of all instances really is.
It's hilarious that you call me a WOW purist, when I have not once mentioned WOW in this topic. For your records, I spent 4 years on FFXI, longer than any other MMO, and I still think it's the best one I've played to date.

Fanboy, much?

And people need to stop associating Open World with HNMS from XI... that was at most 10% of XI's open world content and was easily the smallest part of XI's endgame. If XI's endgame was only camping NMs the game would of not held almost all its playerbase for 8yrs.
Just like you need to stop associating instanced content with WOW-style dungeons/loot hallways.
