Future of zones non-instance -> instance

[Mushy]

Since 2.0 will be going to a zoning structure, dungeons can all be public(except the story/boss exclusive ones like ifrit and moogle.) But make them like Shposhae(sp?) the low level dungeon. But the solo player or party leader has the option to trigger instance. This provides players who want both what they want. So you enter a dungeon solo see some people fighting but cannot get forward to the boss so they invite you have full group toggle groups instance of the dungeon and take a go at the harder levels then the boss.

Yes I did, as the group you decide upon entering the dungeon/zone, public or instanced. dungeons with like say ifrit, moogles must be instanced ofcourse if story driven. Have you been to the other dungeon at its intended level or below with 1 to 3 people? its a blast and eventually you add people on to stay alive further down. now chance they encounter party plowing through their enemies(that respawn) they had not seen til this point, toggle instance, and you get an instance triggored. this also will prevent camping of the NMs/bosses below

difference of opinion i guess. my opinion being that they should just have a balance of content and your opinion being everything should be catered to you.

or you should just stop playing ff14 cause yoshi already said almost all dungeons will be instanced.

In a public dungeon could offer gathers a chance, if the enemies around are getting killed they are at a spot to gather materials exclusive to the area

You said a balance of content, what we have seen is 1 low level open world dungeon and many high level instances. So you are not losing anything, but the crowd over here would get our balance
