Hi Matsume,

Totally agree. Last year when that one excellent forum poster started the thread about World Map Redesign (and the current blandness), I had posted up a thought similar to yours:

SE should've had one of the Guildleve Camps (when they were the focus) be *at* South Bloodshore Beach Area. For those that haven't been there, it's a nice stretch of Beach & Ocean that's unfortunately currently populated with Snippers that can one shot players and home of the infamous Snurble. If they moved different mobs in and made an Aetherial Gate / Camp there (instead of at Bloodshore (above)), it would've helped add some diversity.

But since that time, we've gotten the 2.0 announcement and I have faith in Yoshida-san & his Environment Artists to come up with some beautiful, distinct areas!
