    People do realize how much content in recent mmo's is instanced right? Hell in FFXI there were only like 4 events that were open world while the rest were instanced? IMO it's not so much the fact that content is instanced but it's how the content is presented to us. SE can clearly come up with more clever mechanics besides a "speed run" philosophy but they haven't yet. Gives us varied content and you'll have less complaints about instancing(however some light open world content would be nice but I prefer majority of serious stuff to be instanced)

    I have to agree with this... I can't even argue with it.

    Shit server code is why we don't have more non-instanced content, and that should be taken care of by 2.0. I don't really see the benefits of instanced stuff in an MMO outside of specific storyline content, although I guess said benefits exist.
