Market Board and Inn in Radz-at-Han

[Merrnryn]

Sharlayan should have tomestone vendors as well.

I find it extremely odd the isolationist nation has a world market board and an Inn. Yet the trade hub of the world Radz-at-Han has neither, but has Tomestones.

I would like to see both cities with both.
Same for Crystarium and Eulmore.

You’re not wrong, but I’m sure there are reasons for why they do things this way (to keep 1 main city “busy”?)

Personally, I think they should consolidate the tomestone and various token vendors so that once unlocked, you can use any of them to purchase any of the different expansion gear.

As in you should be able to buy Alexander raid gear in Radz-at-Han, or new Pandemonium stuff in Mor Dhona.

I don't mind having to go to different cities to get different cap level gear, because that keeps the splendors vendors from having unwieldy menu structures like the endgame counter NPCs have. I just wish the splendors vendor near the main city aetheryte wouldn't have to wait until the expansion is no longer current. Just put out a splendors vendor next to the Sharlayan aetheryte already. The splendors vendors have much easier to use menus than the endgame counter NPCs have.

The Crystarium has a splendors vendor right next to the aetheryte.

Radz-at-Han is suppose to be a merchant city so it's a bit ridiculous that it has no market boards.

I found it very odd it doesn't have a market board myself.

You've left out that all the old expansions' Main City aetherytes have a simplified tomestone vendor next to them.

The Allagan Tomestones of Burnout we're not the main topic of the initial post and thus left out.

Splendors Vendor is not a Tomestone Vendor, or a Raid Token Vendor. I'm saying each city should have BOTH.

Mor Dhona should have a MB.
Ishgard should have tomestone/token vendors (and a company chest)
Rhalgars' should have a MB, Kuganue Tome/token
Etc...

The development team places the market boards and Tomestones and Token NPCs since 3.0 apart from each other so players have to travel between these two locations.
As such you will most likely not see a change in the pattern with 7.0.

If you would place the endgame gear NPCs and the market board in one location what would happen?
Players would just stay in one location.

Spreading out the players causes a reduction of server load and zone congestions.
