Please stop standing right on top of the retainer bells.

Going AFK on the bell is... odd. But other than that, the reason a lot of players are right up on the bell is likely so that they can actually see and target the bell themselves. It's one of those vicious cycles.

I know I'm guilty of it myself, when I need to access my retainer from the market wards and I can't see the bell through the characters.

I don't mind people clustering around NEXT to the bell, it's when people sit ON the bell that we get a problem. You can activate the bell from about 2 yalms away, nobody needs to sit on top of the thing. Especally not in a robe that covers the entire bell.

Currently, if the RMTs really wanted to get attention/mess around with the economy and push people to use the market board slightly more instead of digging around in their retainers, all they'd have to do is create 3 fat roegs in hemp cowls and sit on top of all the bells in the 3 cities 24/7.

Ah, I see what you mean. Yeah, I'm not sure why anyone would want to stand on the bell, but it does happen.

Easy solution is for SE to slightly change the bell design so it is on a pole which extends above the head of the tallest character. Thereby it won't matter as you'll always be able to activate the bell.
