Can we get an idea on what to expect from the open world in version 2? (A bit long)

You enjoy camping a HNMs for hours with a high chance of getting nothing as reward for your time. You like this and we must also like this because you do, even though it is more time consuming and less rewarding than the previous two options.

This sounds a lot like the complaints I always got to read in my XI days. They usually came from people who never camped, too; people who'd already given up without trying because they were set on thinking they'd never manage to get a claim unless they used a bot.

Sure, there were times when you camped for hours and got nothing, but you do know that if you did get the claim and managed the kill, you would most likely get something out of it, right? I found this a lot more thrilling and more rewarding in the end than repeating the same invariable instance a bajillion of times while praying for something to drop. Maybe that's just me, though.

This game, in my opinion, needs some of that thrill. I'm ok with instances (heck, salvage was perhaps my favorite endgame event in XI), but the game definitely needs more than that.

I wholeheartedly agree with the OP.
