That or allow outside Company folks to purchase said items at a higher price than if you were a member.
You do know that by restricting companies 90% of the player base will chose Ul'dah just out of simple convenience, 9% will join Limsa's amd 1% will join Gridania's right?

Lets say Uldah has the leading tally. Uldah can purchase items from other companies (whether it be at discount, same price, or 20% increase. Or perhaps start at increased priced, and if Uldah leads again, goes to normal price, etc. This way there is more of an incentive to stay in the lead.)

Limsa would be in second, and will only be able to purchase Gridanian items at x1.50

Gridania only has access to their own items.
Great way to encourage everyone further to join Ul'dah's company. Like geographic convenience wasn't enough
