Paying for retainers

Greetings, may I ask why are we paying for extras retainers? I'm already paying montly fees , I've just started my other disciple of hand/land class and I'm already running out of space, not to mention the extra retainers is monthly fee too? You guys are charging way too much for a monthly subs game, even free MMOs either offer 1 time fee like DC universe or C9 , you only pay for extra slots when you need it, so why charge us so much?

Paying an extra $2 a month for 100 slots seems ok to me....

It's not like you HAVE to pay for them. Most people get by just fine with the normal amount of storage. The only truly compelling reason to have extra retainers is if you're a hardcore crafter and you can more than 40 slots on the Market.

If you can't get by with the normal amount of storage, then you probably need to do a spring clean.
