Can we finally get an option to spawn directly in our hideout?

Can we finally get an option to spawn directly in our hideout? Like a toggle button in the hideout settings menu, that lets you spawn directly in the hideout upon logging in the game?

My reasoning is that having to wait for the game to load Oriath Square / Karui Shore, only to port to my HO 1 second later is really pointless and time consuming in the long run. People having crazy MTXes in these areas also slow down the loading time. On top of that this league we are having lots of crashes and disconnects, and the 3.13.1b Patch also introduced this:

"Texture Streaming is no longer relied on for the initial loading of textures. Instead the loading screen stays up until the scene is ready to render, with Texture Streaming used where necessary to keep frame rate high when loading unexpected assets during gameplay."

This leads to wait times (I've had 10-15 seconds) for the loading screen to disappear, while rendering the town, which is kinda unnecessary, because basically everyone teleports to their HO immediately after and have to wait ANOTHER loading screen. This is doubly annoying, if, for example, you got DC'd right after inviting someone for a trade, and said person is waiting for you to get back into your hideout quickly.

And yes, I realize this might not be such a big problem on expensive high end rigs, but lets think of the little guy here too, eh?

Most unlikely...

GGG makes a lot of their income from selling MTX. The people who buy them want to show them off. They can't do that if you don't visit the town.
So people are buying MTX not because of how it looks/feels for them but because of what the neighbours will think? If so, I have bad news for them. People who enter the game aren't ogling their poggers outfit, they're going straight to their Hideout. In the second it takes me to run to the Waypoint in Oriath and enter my Hideout, I'm not even noticing any of the MTX.

The only time I notice MTX is when I'm playing through the Acts. Because I can't pick up quest rewards from NPCs in my Hideout, I have to go to town for that. Same if I'm looking to buy vendor items for a starter character. So maybe GGG could run a compromise and spawn players in the last town visited while they're still completing the Acts, but allow them to spawn directly into Hideout once they're mapping?
Haha I came to this forum to create a thread like this. I was going to say:

GGG please. I WILL PAY TO HAVE THIS OPTION AVAILABLE.
