Retainers, good idea? bad idea?

[wildsprite]

now I know XI isnt XIV but thinking about it in XIV they added the retainer(you can hire 2 to start) system that allows you to have an NPC do some tasks for you like selling things or holding on to things such as items you desire to keep(they can hold up to I think 175 items each) as well as holding onto Gil(no idea the limit on this).

if done right this could be a beautiful thing. I for one think they should consider something similar to this for XI.

agree? disagree? please give your reasons for either response and please keep it civil and please keep the "no because its not this game" argument out of it. those arguments are absolutely rediculous
