    Personally i find it hard to find a single logical reason to complain about instanced content.
    You have to understand that instanced content will always have better balanced battle, created for certain number of people (8 in most cases), giving you sweet challenging gameplay without ability to avoid it bringing 3 parties and raping that same NM in 20 seconds... Not only that but also improves your gameplay cause you would probably have some latency/lag cause of overpopulated area, and i'm not even talking about competition camping NMs outside the instance... Do you really like to compete with those claiming bots? Do you really enjoy it? Well... i sure dont.

    Personally I find it hard to find a single logical reason to complain about open world content.

    It's a matter of viewpoint you prefer instanced events so you can easilly see the negatives of other means of entertainment but fail to realize the flaws in your own. Both systems have flaws and it's a matter of preference if those flaws are big things for you or not.

    For instance my biggest beef with instanced content is that as a player who likes to explore content and feel it out for myself wether it's intended for a group or not I can learn alot by going into a area blind, by myself, no direction and no reason. Not only is it incredibally fun for me to expereince the many ways I will get slaughtered but I also get to experience the struggles of others, I can walk into a dungeon and see a group of people struggling against the first monsters of the area.

    I can slip past and see what is beyond, I can slip by groups of monsters more easilly than a stack of 8 players, I have no fear of death or my party disbanding because I wasted there time.

    When I do open world content I have no bariers to where I can go or what I can do. I can craft in the middle of a warzone if I see fit, and do so for hours without worry about some arbitrary time limit or group waiting on me. I can sit beside a serene waterfall just to enjoy the suroundings for however long I want. I can invite people to show the wonders I have found and I have no limitation to how many I can bring. I could bring a single friend who has no business being there level or content wise...or I could bring thousands.

    In the open world...I am free to do as I please, and when that open world has millions of things that I could be doing something like Bots farming a silly 24/7 spawn doesn't bother me. Because I am free to experience the world as I please when I please with whom I please.

    When I'm doing instanced content I have to experience the world on someone elses scheduel, within a time limit, and with a "Ballanced" group of peers.

    See how easy it is to be blind to the issues the content you enjoy is?
