Possible story-based areas for end-game

Also Dynamis is still technically an instance, it's just that only one was available at a time. You had all the characteristics of an instance: other groups couldn't come in and join you or steal your stuff, the mobs were generated fresh each time, it was a totally separate zone, it was on a timer, etc.

Actually I see Dynamis as another zone. And other groups could (and sometimes would!) come in anytime after entry if they got their hands on your hourglass. This actually happened to one of my dyna LS's twice in row when we (and every other major dyna shell) were spamming Dyna-Xarc. Things got kinda nasty when LSs started disregarding the Dynamis scheduler.

Multiple instances, whereby I imagine the term 'instance' is coming from, were never used for Dynamis, Einherjar, Salvage (I believe), etc in XI. A single zone (that was actually searchable from outside and inside the zone showing which group was using the zone) was used for each location/wing/tier or whatever, that would only refresh once it was empty. In some of them (ie Einherjar) you could actually still target (not-actionable) and see party members in the event, while standing outside. Unlike Nyzul, where there were multiple instances running at the same time, and seaching it would just list every who's running the instance at that time, with no way to separate who's in what instance with who. Anyway, I guess it's an arguement in semantics which isn't important, and I think we agree that we'd both like to see some more non-instanced content.
