Why I don't like the idea of paying for extra retainers.

The key word here is planned. It never went live.

So any feature that was planned for 1.0 but never launched is automatically horrible? Guess we should be complaining about Ventures in the first place. And forget about Musketeer, it must mean the end of the game as we know it if they ever get around to implementing that!

I bet you also believed them when they said FC housing would be much more affordable too lol. This is FFXIV, not FFXI or 1.0 or any other game.

Housing is perfectly affordable as it is right now. Your expectations may not have been met, but if you have a small FC, a small house is perfectly fine and quite cheap.

This may not be 1.0, but the plans they had for content and features in 1.0 still carried over.

You misunderstand me. I KNEW that housing would be much more expensive than the masses thought it would be and planned accordingly.

This is why using logical fallacies is a moronic thing to do.

Retainers being charged for was planned early on and then indefinitely put on hold until now. 1.0 also had a much smaller player base to be vocal about the opposition of buyable advantages.

As I've explained plenty of times now. Unless the success rate on the top tier "exclusive" venture items is 1%, then the advantage will only last a month or two.

At the same time, if the success rates are that low, you are also throwing your money away because more often than not you get nothing for those extra 2 retainers.

Edit: Either way, there's been enough balking at the idea on the forums in the last 3 days that, even if they did have plans to monetize other items/services, they sure as hell won't do it now. You would have been better served to speak up against the people who rallied for purchasable fantasia, though.
