...I see that you intend to have cities be regional hubs. That sounds like a decent idea on paper, but if you look at the way the world map is, it doesn't end up making much sense. Saying you can ONLY port to certain locations from a specific city seems very limiting compared with the current system. It removes existing functionality, and for what? A more tedious experience, as Racktor pointed out.
We don't ask that you don't add regions in, we just don't want to be more limited than we were previously and lose functionality in what each portal does. As things are now, you CAN get to everywhere on LA from Parsinia, AND to other settlements and cities, AND vice-versa. Parsinia was never a problem until the blight delta came up that made it so you could only get to Parsinia from Bristugo and only out to Kion from Parsinia. We understand that you have a larger end goal, but we just want the in-between steps to keep their function rather than removing it.
Adding regions could be a good thing in some respects, making sure that you can get to King's Cross and Central Valley from Dalimond in addition to Bristugo, for example, is something good a region could do.
