Suggestion regarding retainers

The suggestion I have to share is mostly linked to also improving the market wards in a way. I would like to see it possible to make the modeling of gear separated from the bazaar.

Something along the lines of "Model Item" in the menu for items in your retainers inventory. The reasoning behind this is that there are WAY too many items on the MW that are prices at max gil simply to be modeled by someones retainer, sometimes these retainers don't even have anything else for sale and are just taking up space in the already crowded wards.

making this change would likely help clean up a lot of the listings while searching and could speed up the process a bit. (not to mention stop getting my hopes up when i see only 1 of the item i'm looking for the in item listing only to see 999,999,999 gil in search Q_Q)

Also would be a nice feature to have in place if retainers play a good sized role in future private housing for players. Being able to customize their appearance without having a bazaar set up would please a lot of people including me, Altana knows I spent weeks getting my NPC companion in the gear i wanted her to have in XI xD.

Would like to hear some other ideas from people regarding the retainers, I know we all want a lot more from them. Not so much on the Market ward as that argument has been done to death and i'd like to avoid the MW vs. AH debate in another thread.

I do like the idea behind the retainer system. It just needs a bit more depth to really make it truly personal and enjoyable experience, and I think this is a good start, lets hear others ideas!

p.s. I apologize in advance if a similar thread is active, my quick search turned up mostly MWvsAH threads.
