2.2 Retainers via Microtransactions

[MattAn24]

MAYBE, I could accept this if the retainer is accessible on all characters. Mostly because im on entry level sub and it would still come out to the standard price (assuming its $1 a month). However even then it would still be a kick in the nads for those who already pay a full sub, have multiple characters in the same server, yet still can xfer or mail items because SE decided to put that common feature behind a pay gate and milk its fans for more money.

The key word here is you can send your retainers to go and gather items for you. None of you bitter folk bothered to consider that RMTers could very easily abuse that system and completely destroy the Market Board economy? No. No you didn't. There's a REASON extra retainers cost extra. The system would get abused hard if they were all simply free.

And you keep saying "RMT retainers". That's.. Not what RMT means.
RMT are the real money TRADERS that are bots in-game. That's who would benefit most if these bonus retainers *were* free! The bonus retainers are not *itself* "RMT". They're "optional services". See? Optional. Meaning you do not need it. Hell, I barely even have ONE retainer! Never had a need for one!
