I really, really hope this instance trend doesn't keep up once 2.0 hits. I don't mind having instanced content, but I'm a huge fan of open world content, and I hope they begin to put a little focus towards that. Perhaps it was simply a lack of research/being to hopeful, but I was under the assumption that the hamlets were to be an open world/multi party type of content

Also, I scrolled down to the "Battle" update tab expecting to find the PLD and WAR reforms...only to see that the casting animations for BRD were changed. Hmm.
