So nothing open world for like a year? lol

The lack of gear and legitimate variations and options make the whole experience really dull.

Oh... So we dump my current gear for the higher ilvl stuff and pick the one of two options which has most crit, dump and repeat, forever and ever.. real nice. Glad everyone can have the same gear and build.

Also hunts are super boring... follow hunt train.. Oh, the engagement. Such fantasy. Also.. the idea that they "own" the hunts and that people get flamed and black listed because they want to fight an A rank with a party or something is ridiculous. Nope, you can only do Hunts on "OUR" schedule! OK guess I'll never do hunts either. Great game.

• B ranks (which you kill once a week solo) and daily hunt bills (which you can do for leveling)
• A ranks (which are fought very, very regularly by many players)
• S ranks which you can try to spawn (this is also done very, very regularly by many players)
• gathering (also done very regularly, obviously)
• treasure maps (popular endgame content for FCs and in PF that you see all the time if you fly around)
• achievement FATE bosses
• not quite as social but beast tribes and custom deliveries often draw people back for exp or ranking
• sightseeing logs and sidequests (one-off stuff, but still found in the open world tbh)

Not really looking for social things, just content to collect or work on..

Gathering got completed within 1 week of expac release. After that, whacking a rock for some spring water is a chore...

I guess I can craft outside my house, so that's open world content. But I threw away all that crafted gear after a week and replaced it all already.

Sightseeing mostly got done while doing MSQ. Once it's done, never have I gone back to one of those nodes to ponder life's many mysteries while enveloped in its majestic radiance.

I can read venue spam and engage in shout chat battles. That's open world too.

I can do side quests once. All right. Done.

Treasure Maps. I can just duo those. Rewards suck, oh and portals are instanced..

Hunts. As mentioned, you're only allowed to do those on someone else's schedule lest you make yourself a pariah.
