Instances are terrible in every game. All instances are to me is just a quick and dirty solution to a lack of content that kills immersion. The more you add crap like instances the less you feel like you're playing a game and the more you feel like you're playing a template.
There's lots of other "convenience" things like this that WoW has and it just ruins the game for anyone except the most shallow of people. Mailboxes are convenient sure, but it trivializes travel and completely takes away from the epic feel of the world. As someone who's played a lot of games (at the highest tiers), I've absolutely come to the conclusion that there does have to be pain/work in a game for you to truly enjoy the other aspects.
