    It's time for End Game Hubs to join the markets

    Do they have to join immediately? Of course not, I can understand why Thavnair, and Eulmore wouldn't immediately join.

    Idyllshire however grew with time, and makes sense to have a market from the finalization of the city state.

    The issues that plague the source after Endwalker are over. It's time for Thavnair to restore its market. It also has a location that leads to inaccessible housing. It's not much different in that regard from Solution 9.

    Eulmore has a long road ahead of it, but a market would make sense post Shadowbringers.

    Mor Dohna is littered with markets. A market board would make sense, although it is not a separate instance.

    Rhalgrs Reach is debatable.

    Doma has an enclave, and a desire to be on par with Kugane again. Give it a market board.

    It is time to bring these end game hubs into the fold.

    I think if you go through the trouble of building up the Doma Enclave one of your rewards should be a Marketboard. That'd be cute.

    Mor Dhona is unlikely to ever get a market board, because it's not a separate instanced map like the other hubs. There's probably some coding problem that prevents it, but even if not, they'd probably say they're worried about congestion or something.

    Rhalgr's Reach and Eulmore wouldn't make sense having market boards on first arrival for story reasons (the Reach is a rebel army camp, not a city, and Eulmore is basically at war with everyone else), but maybe they could be added after certain story milestones.

    Eulmore could have a market board, but it wouldn't be usable until you beat Shadowbringers, in the same way that the aetherite was unusuable.

    Or, stay with me on this, every single QoL thing doesn't need ~lore justification~. Put a market board in solution 9

    I believe its done less of because they care about plot reasons, and more of because they WANT Ul'dah, Gridania and Limsa to be populated to sell the illusion of activity to new players.

    But everyone hangs out in the second end-game city that DOES have a marketboard. So having a marketboard in the other city wouldn't affect the original 3 at all.

    Ishgard, Kugane, Crystarium and Sharlayan are all ghost towns so I dont know what you're talking about.

    Didn't think I had to specify, but I meant the CURRENT EXPANSION cities

    I see plenty of people around Ishgard, Kugane, and Sharlayan. Most ShB hanging out seems to end up in Eulmore, though.
