RE: Balancing RL & still making an impact
I think changing your focus from making an impact to having fun is probably the biggest thing. Something I also struggle with. I think finding a group to play with in your TZ is also a biggy. Standalone concepts don't work on slow game time.

RE: Being Inclusive and Arabel
A related note on "involving" characters that might be your IC enemies.
We should still be involving our characters enemies, though it will probably be in a different way than we involve our allies. There are more ways to involve people than just inviting them to your party for quest or event, or handing them plot hooks. You can still facilitate their story.
An example:
If you are a good guy, sure it might not make sense to go quest with that up-and-coming necromancer. But that's only one way to involve them. You can do things like hire spies to follow that necromancer around and find out what he's up to. Once you know, you can "involve them" further by finding a storied way to oppose them, rather than just ganking them with your character who is 5 levels higher and taking all their gold. If you find out they're trying to animate some zombie dragon thing, you could work on a plot to call forth a celestial to battle it. You can do all manner of things to involve someone without ever meeting their character.
This can also mean giving the other guy a sporting chance when you might not have to. So you've just found a fledgling necromancer on your level 12 militiaman. Sure, you could chase him across three maps, could tie him up, take all his contraband, and maybe get a tick towards promotion. Or you could accidentally let him get away (Darn it, he sure did run quick!), knowing that your story will be more interesting if the conflict becomes more even.
The tl;dr would be that even if its difficult to interact character to character, you can include them by facilitating their story. Participate in other people's plots, either for or against. Player plots are plots too.

RE: Rebalance Spawns for New Lvl Balance.
I do think it might be worth considering removing Horned Drakes from the Eastern Wildlands and Star Water Gorge maps. Those f*ers have true seeing (I think?) and hit like trucks. Maybe just move them out a map area or two from the Citadel.
