    We should disable retainers when we're not logged in since that eats up resources and we're not actually playing so...

    1) People saying "It's the reason the servers were screwed up near launch" are ridiculous. It was a byproduct not the cause.

    2) What is done with a person's account should be completely up to them. If they want to afk with their paid subscription, no one has the right to tell them they can't (ESPECIALLY when it doesn't affect them, which it doesn't).

    3) There's no record of a chat log. Once you logout (or are forced to), it's gone.

    4) There's no record of a sales log. Once you logout (or are forced to), it's gone. I don't want to waste time going back to town to check if any of my stuff has sold only to find out it hasn't when I'm trying to move a large amount of stuff out after a crafting spree. I want to be free to go do something else for a bit, go afk when I need to, to break things up a bit if need be but be able to come back and continue doing whatever it was without worrying about whether something sold while i was gone (and got auto kicked).

    5) The server login issues are (mostly) resolved, this "feature" is over a week late and no longer relevant. Especially as a pacifier for the people who "whined" about it when they couldn't login.

    6) Getting auto kicked puts you back at the start menu. If you're afk, that means that start screen video is going to play, which is a lot more load-heavy on a graphics card over an unpopulated area in-game (such as an inn room). This is bad if you are unexpectedly gone for a few hours.

    I could go on but I feel I've wasted my time because the trolls are going to be like "you could just logout!" or "you eat server resources!" and just ignore perfectly valid points or nitpick (falsely at that).

    Please no. i want to keep the stuff i sell available for people 24/7 as it is now.

    Most of time one of my items sells is when im logged out. I have a small gil income ( 15k per day ) don't cut the opportunity to get this daily income from lvl50 "day & night" crafters because im off when they need the item i would have been able to sell them if i was in.
