From that logic you're also suggesting that we should all be able to switch our starting cities and experience each city's stories...It makes no sense. It also makes less sense for people to be able to switch and experience each and every grand company when the main idea was for everyone to commit and be loyal to ONE. Their faction standings would be extremely messed up if people switched all the time..
