Retainers, confirmed, you have to pay for them.

This is what i mean by fear from a preconceived "slippery slope". We have no clue if they will "make us" have to buy more, yet people speak as if this is fact. I don't plan on buy and guess what? I'll be doing coil, and Leviathan, and all the other content because i can.

All of this hate is predicated on a unfounded fear. Just because other mmos (f2p ones) have done it does it mean this one will? In all complete truth, we will have to wait and see. Is there anything wrong with waiting? no.

Just to glamour you need a prism with a specific level range and a specific crafting type this means you could take up To 40 inventory on prisms alone. Add to this you can get minions crafting materials and items only from this method not even to mention you can get allagan pieces which are direct gil. Seems like they want you to get more retainers and less of an option.
