[Survey] Do you want more retainers? Would you be willing to pay for them?

[Nuinn]

No, I don't want more retainers, nor do I want to pay for them since, eventually, I'm going to be paying a full subscription to this game. XIV is not (going to be) a freemium type of game, or even close, as far as I know. I'm still getting over the fact that I had to pay extra for alts in XI (just like we have to in XIV). Admittedly it's a small price, but it's still out of my pocket, continuously over a long period of time.

The recent announced changes to retainer and ward modifications is, I feel, just going to take place till they figure out what they really want to do with retainers, as I think right now devs are clueless about that aspect of the game.

Make and auction house and turn retainers into our virtual sellers - in other words, retainer = number of items we can sell in auction house. Make quests for more retainer/AH space (or if you must) make us pay more $$$ for that instead for more new retainers. The RMT are raging with or without an AH so that's not really an excuse any more.

(and since I already started ranting :P they really need to give us a 'lock item' option for inventories, as well as 'sell all' and 'buyback' for NPC stores - selling junk items after grinding DoL one by one is not fun, nor is selling my Harlequin gear due to latency/lag/missclick)
