Like it or not, that has to be addressed before cross region can be implemented.
The Market Controls.

They lose all their products, Crafters make more, charge more.

Players they spread the money around, and then it reaches balance.

Even though it isn't free game to heading everywhere/anywhere.

If it did include JP, JP would benefit the crafters.

AND SEEING AS JP LOVES to level characters.

it's not like those who do play, would automatically be out of materials, ingredients, crafts, mats.(difference you know)
They would gain much from outsiders in a instant.

Assuming they weren't smart and stockpiled, then raised the Anchor Price.

Markets overtime as self correcting.
