A system that has been in place at least since 2.0 when I started playing. Why have they determined that this is the right system to change at this time 5 years after the fact?

Indeed there will be no point now, just set them all in whatever city you want to since there's no longer any benefit from putting them in the different cities except for the market tax reduction discount for selling. Also indeed what was the point of change something that's been there since 2.0 what why change it now. Just like the Gil reward from doing collectibles in there since I'm assuming Heavensward so why change it now.
