I kinda get that grinding a new FC to lvl 30 is tedious, but nothing is locked away at max rank other than being able to store more FC buff items. Also, many players have already moved to Dynamis for housing since its launch, and SE won't suddenly nuke them from existence so it can be merged with the older DCs, which in turn will make them less efficient or stable before being sundered.

Finally, the biggest incentive so far from the latest patch is that both aether and crystal are Congested so the only way for new players to join is join Dynamis or Primal too.
Relinquishing a plot loses you money. A lot, depending on the size.
Doing that also would either force you to make enough inventory space (somehow) to hold all of your stuff or just let it be destroyed.
Same with FCs. All of that storage would need to be managed between retainers and chocobo and that is in most cases just not going to happen. Taking the existing ones and moving them over would be an easy fix that does not punish someone for moving. It should not be that difficult since they can do it with player inventory, retainers and chocobos. The basic framework exists, it might just be practical to expand it.
And new players... given the current sub trends there are not really enough to make a big difference, and I can guarantee a lot of people who would bring in friends will simply wait until their world opens again. It's what I did back when I joined because I wanted to play with friends.

Not asking for hand-outs, just for square to take into consideration what might be stopping people from relocating despite the incentives they already give us and how to work around some issues we have with DC limited content and functionality.
