basically why have a great big world of eorzea if nothing ever goes on out there. or you never see anything happen cos everyones magically whisked away to an instance.
I understand what you're saying, but those content is designed that way, and the most popular ones is the instance content.

My point is that anyone can compare what is popular in other mmos, and the ones in ffxi that ppl seem to forget. but, not even I know for sure whats going to happen until I'm playing 2.0. Yoshi haven't given us that flood of information yet, so to me I dont understand the point of all these doom and gloom threads..

I doubt the devs gonna change anything now since we're so close to 2.0 release. it'll just cause more delay and it'll most likely hurt the fanbase that is waiting for 2.0
