there are technical reasons why there is a split of Thavnair/Sharlayan, just as there was a split of Kholusia/Ahm Areng, etc.

an NPC giving out S rank information makes it too easy.

PVP functions can't co-exist in a PVE zone. that's why it's separate.
Gw2 has better zones, just look at the zones. They look more fantasy and I think it would be a good Idea to implement that part aswell. Yoshi P even admitted that he took parts of different games to see if it would work, which it did. So I dont understand why its frowned upon to try to make the game better.
Furthermore, true an Npc that says if a S rank has spawned is easy but imagine the amount of people going to that zone to try to find the exact location instead of relying on discord groups which many people are not aware of. Also its kind of fits with the RPG element where a NPC shouts at the top of his lungs that a dangerous S rank monster has appeared in Garlemarld and has killed 100s of soldiers. Lastly, if you look at WoW you can find the giant arena in strangletorn vale, where upon entering (on the gladiator field) it becomes free for all, which was done during vanilla times, 2005. They have implemented this aswell during warlords of draenor in garrisons. WoW has even pushed it even more by putting on or off the pvp mode in major cities. If this is possible since 2005 then I dont know why its suddenly not available in 2022. Ive really thought about what is possible and whats not.
