Well, you're only one zone away from a Wentworth's, just like the redside equivalent, Grandville.
And that WW teleporter is pretty easy to come by, being available both as a day job perk and at the market itself for what, 10K? Chump change for a character in the L40+ range.

When you need to sell, you have to get to a zone that has a WW. That means:

Even if it doesn't happen, I wish Blueside had a zone like Redside's Capo Diable where it's accessable via Ouro Portal and has a Auction House & University in same Zone. As is, I use the Market Teleporter to go to Steel Canyon most often.
Even so, a 'central hub' that is accessable via all Transportation modes (incl. Ouro and Pocket D), and has all Stores, Markets & Crafting Houses would be so cool. No sure why the Devs choose to make lower level zones the closest to these - I guess they don't want 50s hanging out in the high level zone for everything else along with most missions.
Or take the Vanguard portal to their base and then back again to Atlas Park, which is what my lowbie alts do all the time.
A WW in PI would make it less of a trek to buy and sell, but the devs clearly prefer to have high-level characters circulating in other areas. Consider Atlas Park as the equivalent of a faction capital in generic MMORPG terms.

Eh, I'd argue that. The Incarnate mission doesn't really deal with PI, the "Hero's Epic" (which, IMHO, is worse than what it replaced, as it DOES kind of kick you down to second-string status) is really the only thing in PI. 50s run around in the RWZ, they may pop into Atlas to get to RV... The WWs are in the actual hub zones. |

Personally, I'd rather see a way to access them from the base, or even get a temp power at some ww-badge-level that lets you access it remotely.
I could certainly get behind a base access or other remote access.
If anything, they need to put in more universities. Why is it that SC is the only blue side place with a WW and University? It'd just be so much more convenient to add one in talos and AP. It's like having peanut butter without the jelly; ya can't have one without the other.
And while I'm on the subject, why the heck is there a University in Croatoa. Who in their right mind would wanna go to school there??

You raise a very valid point, and I couldn't agree more. You can put a crafting station in your base or work to earn the portable crafting bench, but if you don't have a base or the power, you're pretty much sinking a lot of time into travel just to unload your stuff and craft IOs.

A means of accessing it from your base would be great, but it doesn't work for those folks who aren't in a supergroup.|

If memory serves, a temporary power like you've described is already available: The consignment house teleporter can be purchased or earned: http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Consig...se_Transporter. But it would likely take you all the way back to Talos, and only works once. You can replace it, but can't use it again for 30 minutes.

Just the day job teleporter (on most of my characters) will do so - for 10 (or even 20, if you have both) uses, and it's on a fast recharge. However, the teleporter was not what I was suggesting. Something more in line with the portable crafting table (but not as irritating to get, or necessarily a physical "item" to summon) that leaves you in place as you check on/work with the market is what I was talking about.

While it is possible to get and use a WW teleporter, it would be much more convenient to have a wents in PI. It's one of the major zones, and should have one. IMO of course.

- Take the ferry
- Use an O-Portal
- Take a Base Teleporter
- Use the WW teleporter (if you have it)
It seems to me that we could really use a WW in PI. In teaming scenarios, where downtime between missions seems to be a crucial factor in keeping the team together, putting a WW closer to where we're actually doing missions seems reasonable.
