    My entire argument (and probably that of others as well) is that having to render the NPC shops incurs a large amount of overhead, forces the devs to limit the Market Wards in multiple ways, and requires much more effort to maintain and develop than a menu driven, NPC-less version. In essence, the devs put in more effort to get an inferior system.

    This is correct if just for the rendering of NPCs. Especially with how awful this game runs. They are doing more work to achieve something similar but not as good as the easy way out.

    Innovation for the sake of innovation isn't innovative at all. It's just a waste of time.
