I can't take credit for the changes, but I can pass on the sentiments!
As for the question in regards to group content in overland zones in ROK, I'm not entirely sure if I am the best person to ask that. Someone higher up the chain of command made that call, and we as designers carried it out. I didn't work on any of those overland zones, so I can't say that I was involved in their development to any great degree other than giving feedback as I could when we did our playtests. My responsibilities were the population and quests in Karnor's, and the population of Timorous Deep.
