As it stands at the moment, Gridania's market is dry, and new adventurers starting out there will have to undertake a long journey early on if they want to upgrade their gear at all. A common market wards would solve that.
Most likely when Ishgard is released the majority of retainers will be parked in the Ishgard ward (assuming there is one). New players would find it extremely beneficial to visit all the cities early on to access additional leves anyhow, and now there are NPCs who sell low level weapons and armor within the wards themselves. Furthermore, linking the wards will bring about overcrowding and shouldn't be done without first restructuring the ward system.
