@Ami & Fieros here's a question for you. Can either of you think of a way to maintain the local economies of the three cities once Ishgard opens up? Short of there NOT being a method at all for selling/buying in the city (and that means disabling player bazaars as well) it will become the economic center of the world. As people level up, they will migrate. It happened in 11 with Juno and then White Gate. If SE cannot maintain the importance of the smaller local economies, then the best thing to do is to allow one unified global economy.

Both of you have great ideas, and in many respects your ideas compliment each other greatly. But I am curious, how would you're guys' ideas transition into the new city opening and the eventual exodus there? Just something to think about.
