Goblins are not aggressive because they don't summon primals. Only the beastmen that summon primals will aggro you. The rest don't. To find out why, I suggest you go back and watch the cutscenes and really pay attention this time.
the goblins in Limsa still do bussiness and im pretty sure it was City State(s). the Qiqirn in uldah that sells you illegal ware's would disagree with your other wise fine assessment of lore and the sylph have been aiding the gridanian for awhile now. now i don't know about you but thats confusing as hell.
