Vendor Issues in Praetoria
Wait, there's *no* DO stores in the Praetorian zones at all?

I agree that this is a problem, and it doesn't need to be one.
At this point in time, I dare say it's time we dropped the pretence of "correct" stores altogether. Have all stores buy all enhancements at their "high" prices and be done with it. That's what they do with Inventions, anyway. Save us all a trip and spare us all from being ripped off for stupid reasons.

I haven't paid attention to market values, but there are a ton of DO vendors in IC and Neutropolis. And in my opinion, there's no need to clutter up IC with TO vendors.
Now, would it be great if all vendors sold all TOs, DOs, and SOs and had buttons and tabs to sort by type, level, and origin? Yes, please make *that* happen. Not some piddling changes not really needed.

There are two specific problems that are unique to Praetoria:
PROBLEMS
1) The only Training vendor is in Nova Praetoria.
2) There are no Origin-based vendors in any of the three zones.
Although you won't have problems in Nova Praetoria in terms of buying and selling TO's at the best available price. Once you move to Imperial City or Neutropolis, a) you cannot buy or sell TO's at full value without making a trip to Nova Praetoria. And b) you cannot buy or sell DO's at full value anywhere in Praetoria at all.
In Paragon City, you can buy and sell TO's at full value in AP/GC/KR/Steel/Skyway at any vendor, at full price. You can sell them at full price at the TO store in Talos. This is the level range at which TO's still drop, and in all these cases there is no need to travel to a different zone in order to get full price for enhancements of all origins. Similar conditions exist in the Rogue Isles for MI/PO/Cap/Sharkhead.
What are the easy solutions to this?
SOLUTIONS
1) Allow all vendors in NP/IC/Neutro to buy and sell TO's at full market value.
2) Allow Origin-based vendors in IC and Neutro.
(in lieu of creating Origin-specific vendors in IC or Neutro, allow all vendors to buy and sell DO's at full market value)
