2.2 Retainers via Microtransactions

[Zumi]

Selling retainers was a relic from 1.0 at launch. It was SEs plan to sell them at the start of the game and I didn't see anyone complaing about it back then. But when the game didn't do so well they took out the idea and just gave everyone 2 because very few people would buy them.

I hope they don't go the WoW route and put the coolest mounts and pets in the store, one of the reasons why I don't play that game anymore. Blizzard tested the waters with some sparkle pony mount celestial steed I think it was and they made like 20 million dollars in the first day of people buying this mount for $25 a pop so now they started to release a bunch of mounts.

If your paying a sub fee you should be able to get all the games mounts and pets doing stuff in game not by buying them on a store.
