I hope my retainer can party up and fight Garuda for me too. I find that content such a CHORE. Time could be much better spent doing the awesome new fishing mini-game with Llem ;)

multiply it by thousands. You can have multiple retainers per character and multiple characters.

Thousands of bots.

I'll laugh when your only two Retainer are link to every char which mean you end up with just two per world. Then you pay 1$ for each extra retainer you like.

That would make it fair don't you think?

Personally when i see this, I don't think of my retainer going out into the open world to gather stuff from nodes.
I think it would apply only to the garden you have outside of your house (stuff you grow yourself in your backyard).
Anything else imo would be kinda silly.

Auction house please. Screw these retainer slaves. Give us a better storage options and quit messing around with crazy ideas. Simple things work best in all universes and dimensions.

It could be as simple as them tending to your garden, aquarium, etc.

Think Farmville.

Exploits can be minimized.

Completely agree and just replied something similar in the other thread.

I distinctly remember people suggesting that retainers be able to tend your garden and gather your crops for you. Please, let it mean that they'll only be your gardener or stablemaster. Anything dealing with the open world I do not want.

Do not want >_< it will be a slap in the face to ppl with gathering leveled and horrible for the economy..

Also gathering isn't a chore! I enjoyed it :(

I would test it before saying "I don't want it".

Wait & see
