That was my idea. The point of Exploration was to give companies with gatherers something to do together. Breaking them off into their own instances defeats the purpose of Exploration and further punishes those who do just want to gather (Stealth doesn't work in Diadem). It was made for companies so lets keep it to companies. Leave the NPCs there in Ishgard but remove it from Duty. Have it work just like Coil used to in that you have to form a party and talk to an NPC to gain entry, or use the workshop console if you have a house with that. And of course the NPC only allows those in a company to enter. Problems solved and noone had to be punished for 'ruining your precious content'.
