Whitegate was a hub both for all the content that you entered from it as well as for traveling to other parts of the game world and it had a centralized economy with it connecting to other main auction house.

Uldah has none of thoose and XIV barely has a 10th of the player numbers of XI so you realy can't make a comparison.

For a good example of how a gameworld changes after a crossrealm dungeon finder implementation you can take a look at WoW, where you'd barely see anyone at max lvl outside Stormwind or Ogrimmar, they all stand around in town waiting in que for PVP battlegrounds or PVE dungeons/raids.

Someone mentioned somewhere an idea for an in-server content finder, where you'd be able to enter the que by going to the actual dungeon of choice, much like how battlegrounds in WoW worked before the first expansion.

I'd support this idea, since it wouldn't lower any sense of server community(by keeping the finder server wide only) nor deplete the actual non-instanced world of players(since people would still actualy travel the land to destinations).
