Retainer summoning bell

The whole concept of these "retainers" is outdated and irrelevant anyways. Ive been all over Ul'Dah.. I have yet to see a single area with a bunch of "retainers" standing around selling things. So WHY the over-complicated process of creating them, managing them, and designing them?

Quite frankly, this game would lose absolutely NOTHING, (if anything, be vastly IMPROVED.) if they just scrapped the whole concept and simply used a standard auction house/marketplace that EVERY other MMO uses. Interacting with the Market board does 100% of the SAME thing, and doesnt require loading an entire new NPC into the game.

Oh wait.. we WOULD lose the ability to buy overpriced items from a vendor named "Ilovetits" .. cause that's just a HUGE feature none of us can survive without right?

Now they've hinted in 2.1 the "market will be re-designed" honestly it will not surprise me in the slightest if the whole system gets scrapped and redone from the ground up.

Mainly because as of right now.. just like the UI, it's clunky, overly complicated, bulky, and full of unneeded clicking that serves NO purpose.

We realize that there are a lot of requests for summoning bells to be placed in other areas, such as having them in all sanctuaries. In order to relieve congestion and crowding in the areas where we currently have summoning bells, we plan on setting up more of these with new market boards. We’re looking to implement this in patch 2.1.
