Soon after leveling a character up and discovering the Mists trick, Lion’s Arch becomes your character’s home, with little to no reason to go to their actual home.
Thus my suggestion to make going home easier, to encourage socializing in racial towns. How, simple?
Add a new button somewhere on the hero screen. Label it simply Go Home. What it does is port you, at no cost, from anywhere in the world, to right outside the door to your home instance. Hey presto. No mists, no Lion’s Arch. You’re ready to socialize.
