Why not improve the 3 initial city-states?

[MsMisato]

Just a random thought doing some early quests... It would be really interesting if they improved the 3 starter city capitals into one single instance, since we aren't bound to the PS3 limitations anymore, IIRC the whole reason that those capital cities are split into subzones.

Not just having a continuous city would be good, but also if they potentially filled it with novelty. One may argue that is a waste of resources, but honestly, they'll always be densely populated regardless of expansion, like we see continuously. The seasonal events always happen there. Every new job or many side features also start there, the MSQ casually goes there too sometimes, list goes on.

On the other hand... there's also the fear that they'd downgrade from what we have if a rework of the cities would also mean changing heavily the current elements. I feel Dawntrail's capital cities are kinda badly designed, with so much emptiness or closed doors.

the city states weren't split into zones during 1.0 launch... the split happened after they launched ARR.

I know, that's what I mean. I think the reason why it was split was due to the PS3 processing power, but may be something else and I'm not remembering it right.
