Why the heavy focus on instance only?

[Sephrick]

Still, no instanced lovers commented on my idea of playing vindictus! NO CLAIMING, NO CAMPING, NO NOTHING YOU HATE IN THAT GAME. FUN COMBAT, FAST PACED, PLAY SOLO, PLAY WITH A FEW OTHERS. If you want instanced dungeons go to vindictus, this game shouldn't be based on that type of content. It's a massive open world, that should have reason to explore(secrets). SE shouldn't tell us everything, they should keep some nms hidden, just hint towards them(psst theres nms you guys haven't found yet!) There should be random treasures around the world(gil, weapons, extra.) I'm playing skyrim right now, and I can't imagine how cool it would be if I could play with a few other people on that game. Just exploring with each other, fighting each other, everything else. This game needs more of that, not some round about way on forcing people to play with each other. They have to make it where you WANT to play with others have a reason to share something with someone. Instances, no thank you. They take away that exploration.

The core issue here is durability.

Having a huge world to explore is great fun at first. But once something has been explored, there's little reason to return to it.

A sandbox gets old. This is a game first and foremost. As such, there needs to be a challenge presented with a specific goal in mind. If I want to explore an expansive wilderness with friends, I'll fill up my Camelbak call up a few people and go hiking off the trails.

This is a game, and I'd a focus on instances allows for unique and challenging content, I say bring it.

I already thought I mentioned Vindictus? I swear I did, maybe not.

Go play Minecraft if you want expansive spaces to explore.
