    That's scummy as hell.
    Its possible. But I think that was an coincidence. the Other locations not in the event are Northern Thanalan and the regions associated with Heavensward (I'm including Mor Dhona in this for both Mhach and the relationship to Dragons) Northern Thanalan and the Central Highlands were used for leveling FATE grind and don't need the extra help to look lively. Likewise Mor Dhona is in a similar boat being the 2.x endgame hub and still having some relevance to leveling 50+ crafters

    I think the choice of excluding Eastern La Noscea is because people were using it to grind up the the point where they can then grind in Coerthas, so they likely thought they didn't need to make it appear more likely (plus it has a beach which might make it popular on Balmung for RP events)

    Then again I suppose they might be banking on people using this same reasoning. Make it look like a coincidence, and its suddenly "okay".

    Atmas weren't obtainable from North Than, East La Noscea, or South Shroud either (3 of the more common FATE grinding areas back in the day) so this is nothing new. It's just that there were 12 atmas back then, and 13 Yo-kais now, so South Shroud got added to the mix.
