I'd imagine that this would severely hurt FFXIV far more than the housing/Pagos/Companion App issues combined into one. Given how SQEX is slowly starting to push towards getting as much profit as they can, I don't see any tangible benefit whatsoever for anybody in them doing this.
I suspect the OP was intending to engage in a hypothetical thought project, rather than making a realistic suggestion. Sort of along the lines of 'what would happen if the Half-life IP were released to a devoted mod team so we could finally get HL3'. It'd never happen, but still potentially interesting to discuss.
