I also have to say I see no need to open up those areas.
While it can be annoying to know there is a fair amount to explore in those zones it's not needed to map there if you hugg the walls on the rest of the areas enough.
The main problem continent is Cantha and specially JQ.
One has the choice to wait to map JQ or grind the same amount elsewhere.
I'm not sure which will take more time.
There is one thing I'd not mind A-net to change if possible on JQ and Aspen.
That is making only an international district available so all players get in the same outposts.
This should speed up teaming somewhat.
And the other areas... The only ones I can think of are the low-level arenas or the old tyrian arenas. And some stuff you can reach with a special trick.
I don't mind opening those up but again, there is no need and it does not make the title easier to achieve.
The moment you hit 99% and the last 1% is all over the map does not ease anything.
