I myself for example only have 50 MIN / 50 GSM and only just started leveling ARM. And even with only these 3 classes I have almost 2 full retainers. I was waiting for 2.2 to get an extra retainer (as I understood). Now I have to pay more to get it.

And that's just me. What about player with all 50 crafting / gathering classes? It's unquestionable that they need to pay more. It's not an option anymore.

And if you choose not to pay, then it WILL affect your experience in the game. People with extra retainers will have an easier more convenient access to crafting material / food / potions etc. while the rest will have to discard / sell and re-purchase them to keep some space in the retainer.

I want to write more about this but I feel like I just wrote a big wall of text that no one will read :/
those with all 50 crafting classes do not "unquestionably need" The extra retainers, assume for a moment that extra retainers was never implemented, are these full 50 crafters gonna just up and quit cause there aren't extra retainers?

No one "have" to get the extra retainers, they simply "want" the extra retainers, there is a clear and distinct difference.
