Memes are us and stuff that makes no sense

All kidding aside, here's a question I've wanted answered for a very long time. Why is it some cities don't have everything you need in the way of basic stuff? Why does Qeynos, a city with less pure casters than Erudin not have Sharpening Stones for sale anywhere but Erudin does? Why aren't fletching kits sold in Neriak but arrow parts are? how come Nerissa Clothspinner sells a small sewing kit when you need a large one for most of the useful recipes? You have to go to Erudin or Halas to get one (you can get sharping stones in Halas too).

It doesn't make sense that basic items needed by tradeskillers are not where you would expect to find them. The bakery with most of your baking supplies is in South Qeynos, but the nearest place that sells Bottles of Milk needed in several baking recipes is only sold by Sneed Galaway in North Qeynos, and no where else in the city. And poor Wood Elves trying to practice Black Smithing would have to trudge all the way to Kaladim.

Why are there no easy to get supplies of spiderling or spider silk in the Qeynos area at all. Nearest place I can see is Tox and the spiderlings and widow hatchlings are few and far between. Spider silk is obtainable in WK but if you don't have track, good luck finding it.

It bothered me back when I first started playing Kunark, I forgot the problem on live (PoK is a one stop shop for most things and CR is the other one) and now that I'm in p1999, it bothers me once again. It made no sense before... it makes less sense now.

Can you think of other stupid little things like this that make little to no sense at all?
