I want to see Only 1 main Hub going forward. that all level 1 can access, but have no story in. FFXIV isn't even open world because of this. The Current formula just doesn't work and is a complete artistic waste. also.. 1 new housing zone per expansion release WITh said hub, thankyou
Having only one main hub area is bad idea because it would mean removing all 3 main hub areas (Limsa Lominsa, Gridania and Ul'dah), 5 expansion main hub areas (Ishgard, Kugane, The Crystarium, Old Sharlayan and Tuliyollal), 6 endgame hub areas (Revenant's Toll, Idyllshire, Rhalgr's Reach, Eulmore, Radz-at-Han and Solution Nine) and lots of other changes to make this having only one main hub area to work.

Other thing that makes having only one main hub area a bad idea is that it would require a queue system to enter the main hub area to prevent things like extremely long loading times, massive FPS drop and massive ping increase when game already struggles with having lots of players in single main hub area at prime times that it cause me long loading times (note: i have FFXIV installed on SSD) and massive FPS drop (note: with graphic settings i use i get around 50 fps in medium populated main hub area on my +13 years old PC).

And having only one main hub area would make chat complete chaos and in worse case could being filled with constant RMT spam.

Sure, i don't mind if they added a special main hub area where everyone can enter but only having single main hub area is still big no for me.

Lastly i really don't care if current hub areas being populated or not because most of time i'm inside of my house and i only enter hub areas when i need to do something in hub areas.
