As a BTN I like the Black Shroud. But that said I do agree that it's narrow maze like nature is annoying. I would like something more similar to Zi'tah from FFXI. Not 100% open but not a narrow maze either it was a good balance. But I do have to say that with the whole destruction thing being talked about everywhere that it's more likely the zone is going to be destroyed and it will be part of the story which I hope doesn't affect certain things like current side quests or harvesting areas. I guess time will tell.

The interesting part about if they redo the zone as part of the storyline it means they may be open to doing stuff like that in other zones in the future which could add a really cool dynamic to the story and world.
