Instancing is awful in terms of a cohesive online world.
"You're in our world now" loses its meaning completely. More like you're in your own spawned instance now, amirite?

I honestly don't think instances ruin much as far as interaction goes.
I think what ruins interaction is when games include a grouping/matchmaking system and instant portals to instances, that's when you lose the communication aspects in the MMO.
As long as there's no instant grouping/matchmaking system or instant portals that make instances easy to access, you still have people needing ports to places, and you still force people to have to create their own groups to succeed in the instances.
