Like nobody forced those people to not return to there data center to hang out.
Its not hard to do.
I myself only would use data center travel to visit friends on other data center and they visiting me, it expands the possibility for that.
I very much looked foreward to intercontinental Datacenter Travels to visit NA Friends

Also the current restrictions encourages to just stay on a Datacenter after arriving there because its so annoying and time consuming to travel.
Which would make your problem worse, no?
Sorry, I might be a little confused by your response. My main is from Crystal, and because of the restrictions; our PF is thriving now, and friends are not feeling forced to travel to do content in PF anymore. Its only been a short time now, but I already got comments that people missed just hanging out doing other things while waiting for PF to fill, and our gatherers aren't feeling like our FC just died when the reality was just people were just in different DCs for x-y-z reasons. Friends are happy for it, because they didn't like the separation in the game even though we do have discord to help with communication. We just feel we are spending more time with friends now, and being in a true MMO space like it was back in Shadowbringers.

I just want to say it again, I don't want people who have friends in different DCs to feel separated either. A lot of problems come from gameplay restrictions. If I could do Island Sanctuary on Aether while my main home is Crystal while waiting for a PF to fill, and having access to my FC chat; it wouldn't really be this bad. But it was that bad, and my group suffered a lot from it.
