Seriously, before you flew(or drove) out of the sanc through a wg to your target cont from the corner wg, now you fly out of your wg sanc from teh corner, the only difference is the loadtime between the gates, thats meaningless for "speeding up gameplay." And all the issues those permanent uncapturable things cause far outweigh that negligible load time elimination.

I don't think Sanctuaries were a "problem" per se, but there was certainly room for streamlining and improvement.
We don't need a whole separate zone. It's more than just about the loadtime. For example, your outfit wants to organize for a raid during a major battle to help turn the tide, so you all zone out and go to the Sanc to rally and load up. You get your whole raid all set and your target picked out, head to the warpgate ready to kick some ass when OH WAIT that continent is pop locked. You gotta wait for 50 spots to open up or go fight somewhere else. THAT is a problem.
Now without a separate zone, you can still rally up and get your raid ready in the safety of a no-fire zone, but not have to worry about any problems getting back to the fight that you want.
Also, uncapturable footholds are absolutely no different than the warpgates in Planetside 1. Every empire always had access to 3 continents. Planetside 2 is launching with 3 continents. A rose by any other name is still a rose. The only difference is the ability to capture territory instead of just bases which I think is a HUGE improvement to the base hopping system of Planetside 1.
