Retainers in Disguise

What I would like to see, which will likely not happen, is 4.0 open world content require a party either with people or these NPCs. Make the world rewarding and dangerous.....

Squadrons are Retainers minus Venture and actual gear... So Squadrons are exactly like the Garrison Table in WoW.... except... WE STILL GET CONTENT TO DO!! XD

On this note: That is a terrible idea. Look at the game now. How many people actually go through the zones without any reason besides leveling or events. And even then they rush it immediately and stop. Say they do make the open world require a party. 4 months later, what happens to a new player that comes into that content and can't do anything because they can't kill simple field mobs. They quit, unsub, and probably don't come back unless they nerf said mobs into the ground so a group isn't required for them.

i agree with the op. I have two max level retainers id rather them just let me "fetch my retainer" from the fc retainer stables after feeding it some ventures, and then have it help me gather a node, or fight monsters... we could even make flavored ventures and have a favorite foods section that boost their stats. ok so that idea is a bit far out, but why level squadrons when my retainers are geared and over 210

I hope we can use them for Savage, I am sure NPCs can perform rotas 100% and avoiding 100% without fail... that way i can die and watch them cleaning the fight for me :)
