Open world content...

[darkstarpoet1]

same here, if they really want it all instances why did they even bother with a big world map overhaul. they could of just made it a lobby like PSO then you choose what level to go to then play in your instance.
well we will find out in a few months if it looks like all your gonna be doing is waiting in town in queue im gonna have to move on cuz equip grinding is the same as XP grinding - boring.

i'm not saying i don't want any instances. i'm just saying i want there to be a variety of stuff. some instanced, some open world, and some like leves where it's open instance. i just want a variety of things to do. i don't like all instanced since that ruins the full reason for redoing the maps and making a massive world to explore if you have no need for it.

yeah i understood, but 100% instanced no thanks. FFXI did it right with a mix. im hoping for that.

I feel the same. FFXI had a great balance. I met most of my friends throughout the game while doing open world content.
I feel XIV is greatly lacking balance, and it sounds as if it still will be in 2.0.

I would like people to be forced out of the cities more, rather than sitting in the same town all the time waiting for something interesting to pop up.

I would love to have to travel the lands rather than teleporting directly to an instance.

And I would prefer a content finder (if we have to have one) that would prioritize grouping with people on my own server.
I'm not going to bother making friends with people who I can't play in the open world with, and meet up with anywhere in the game at any time.
It doesn't even make sense for a role-player.. I meet someone.. I can't see someone again because... what? they're magically in some other dimension? ._.; That really kills immersion for me. lol
