One of my larger concerns in VG is end-game. Obviously there isn't much of it yet but I'm curious about their implementation of it considering the stance against instancing. From my experiences so far with AES encounters, I'm very worried if they plan to create raids with it since GM's seem to have no power to despawn/fix those encounters when they bug out (and often do). Secondly, if all raiding is contested, I wonder when (or if) they will address the playtime issue.

When we raided in WoW, even though we were in Naxx, our guild rarely saw the world spawns since guilds with high populations during the day would slay them in the early afternoons. I'm not going to argue the point of more time = more reward since that's obviously a truism, I mean I work out 1 hour a day and don't ever expect to be as fit as the guys/gals there 3-4 hours a day. However, I have the same opportunity, the gym machines don't disappear after the "hardcores" use them.

Variety is the key here. I just want to see avoided the scenario of having scheduled raid times with nothing spawned to raid that day, or potentially for weeks while the resident high playtime guilds farm the content.
