Big empty areas with nothing in them is the crux of the argument.

- They need settlements and camps.
-OPEN ALL BUILDINGS and make them alive and LIVED.
-Have activities aside from Fates and Hunts
- Make mobs farmable for some rare materials, have rare mobs that can appear in a COMPLETELY random location, so bots cant camp it or have everyone be able to tag the same mobs with personal drop chances
- Chocobo treasure hunts
- Minigames
- Rare world bosses like fates, but ones that drop rare glam materials, mounts, furniture materials. Personal tag so you cant troll or camp.
- Somekind of open world activity that you can do for 10 minutes or keep grinding for profit / fun random drops. You know, like an MMO usually does.

Until then, the open ghost town'esque maps are just pretty to look at while you msq and grind fates.
