Ok guys I got this I think you can have your cake and eat it too.

Most people dont like instancing because it ruins the communities...however what if we were able to make it a way it would stimulate playerbase?

Imagine a zone like Lower Guk. Make it so that all the good loots(say..dead side) were non-instanced making the entire server fight for the drops...while having say the live side be instanced, which require no less than five players out of six and cannot be used to power level. Perhaps have a small reward, like an above average portion of money.

In that way dungeons can be used in the way that they're used in normal EQ, and not over inflating the economy with gear, while at the same time providing a place that players can go to for leveling and getting to see some parts of a dungeon without worry, and needing a near full group ensures.

Unless you plan on having a small amount of subscribers in today's gaming world it would be very difficult to have absolutely no instancing. In this way dungeons could be seen as social hubs, bringing in people to farm the public, rare loot and giving a place for all the folks who may just want to get some experience.

TL;DR- Hybrid Dungeons between instanced/non-instanced also acting as mini for players.
