The real question is: Why is it such a problem if every time you go to a city you talk to an NPC to refresh a buff? You were never penalized for not having signet/sigil/sanction as you could continue just fine without it, it was a benefit to have it, not a requirement other than crystal drops (which all monsters already does this). Signet created a virtual competition between the nations which realistically only affected what regional NPCs sold and your length of signet.

It becomes second nature just like I guarantee it became second nature for any DoWM to equip cure or second wind somewhere in their setup while soloing.
