It is a good thing - for players that are looking to join communities where people take the time to get to know one another.

Players that don't care who they play with and just want a fast content clear for loot are going to want to gravitate to where the most players are.

Personally I miss the days of players being restricted to a single world. Communities formed and players got to know one another. Friendly rivalries formed. Helping one another helped the community as a whole because of that interdependence on one another.

Now there's no reason to care about other players. Random player struggling in a group? Might as well kick and hope the next random stranger to join does a better job so you can get out of their faster. Not like you're going to see either player again when there are tens of thousands to fill the queues. There's little need to socialize as a result.

Personally, I'd be fine if data center travel was disabled. I have alts on different data centers so I can still play with my friends on each. It would make hunting for bargains on the marketboard a bit more challenging but I could live with that.

That depends on when they originally planned to start the beta. If they thought it was going to be over this past summer, opening Dynamis in November would have been about the right timing. It takes a bit of time for things to build up.
