Yes, that's something that they've not been particularly effective at. It's also perfectly understandable that Lolorito acts the way that he does. He's one of the characters I find very interesting - far more so than either Nanamo or Raubahn. He's ruthless and manipulative...but he's a patriot with lines he will not cross. That doesn't change the fact that his actions reflect on Ul'dah and thus the rest of the Eorzean Alliance as a consequence. Or that the Warrior of Light - someone with the power to challenge literal deities - is having his power exploited to strengthen one nation and weaken another.

Hingashi does not deserve to be subjected to such abuse. Though as I mentioned earlier, I'm hoping that the Isle of Val will prove to be a lost cause and the trade exploit will not go ahead as the region will prove far too dangerous on a long term basis. I'd say that's pretty likely given that it needs to be a persistent zone so people can go and work on their relic weapons in the region.
