Until instancing issues are fixed, I think the discussion of which modes affect which are redundant. 'Open' mode cannot even affect itself properly. For weeks now, groups of players from opposing factions/groups/clans have arranged to meet each other for combat and the result has to be seen to be believed. My faction offended another faction the first time we tried to meet them because some of our players made accusations of 'chickening out' to the opposition group that we assumed had not turned up (it takes a lot of organising to get more than a wing of players to a certain location at a certain time). Now that I've tried to meet another wing or two of players on several occasions, I've realised that 'Open' mode is quite simply' broken. It's quite comical actually: in order to meet each other, we first have to quit the game, log back on and reform wings, and if this doesn't work, we have to invite a player from the enemy faction into one of our wings...
