They probably had a test group to see which feature of PlanetSide is the most daunting to new players, which turned out to be Sanc.
Not surprisingly really, you log in, have to spend 2 minutes running to HART (even longer for new player to figure out WTF is going on) then if you're unlucky have to spend another 15 minutes waiting. Then the 1 min or so long animation ... then you select where you want to drop. Wait 2 minutes for animations ... and often by the time you land, noone's there already.
So we are looking at a considerable time spent in game, doing nothing.
Also the fact it was empty most of the time, unless staging an assault contributed to its removal.
Also, we havn't seen the footholds yet, which might turn out to be something incredible sexy, that would not work as a separate map.
