Everybody buys in Ul'dah, because everybody sells in Ul'dah. When the three markets are merged, people will sell everywhere, because people can buy everywhere. People will buy everywhere, because people selling everywhere are available. It won't stop Ul'dah from being a hub, but it will *lessen* the centralizing tendencies, not worsen them. Retainers in particular will spread out because it triples the available ward space (quadruples when we get Ishgard). Crystalier's Row in Ul'dah full? No reason not to take the retainer to Crystalier's Den in Gridania.
