    more along the lines of a quality of life improvement.... can we get the name of the retainer who makes the sale? now that I have 4, and am constantly making money (glad 2.1 stagnation is gone!) it drives me insane trying to keep track of who I gave what to :P

    Also, more chest slots?!
    An auto-sort for the chest?
    Packs/saddlebags for chocobos that maybe add 25 slots, while we gather?
    A /lean emote, for when you're near a wall?

    Just a few things off the top of my head.

    Also, I would like to add:

    -Allow us to lock gear in our inventory so we cannot sell them.
    -Instead of rent a chocobo, allow us to use these as actual mounts with teired mounts (slim chocobo, armored chocobo, fat chocobo, fat armored, etc) for either speed or simply cosmetic.
    - Make map transitions more clear. After leaving Ul'dah you start flying around to other maps and everything gets super confusing. I keep having to hunt down the "airports"

    Currently, we see where the item sells and what the item is.

    This isn't a solution but might help you out a little: Assign 3 of your 4 retainers to the different cities, one in each, then assign the last to whichever city out of the 3 you observe getting the most sales (for instance, if I put the same thing up for sale in all 3 cities for the same price, the one in Limsa tends to sell first, so I put my 3rd and 4th retainer both in Limsa, while 1st is in Gridania and 2nd is in Uldah, but your server may be different so check your own cities out first). By spreading your retainers out as much as possible, you can identify a fair number of sales by the city they're in, while also covering all of those who buy based on city rather than necessarily the cheapest price (due to inter city tax driving the price up).

    Regarding the last 2 retainers being in the same city, it's helpful to go with themes you can easily remember, such as crafted things being on one and dungeon/map/etc drops being on the other, thus being able to identify the retainer by the item itself.

    Alternatively, you could go with 4 themes, one for each retainer: consumables, gear, housing, random crafting mats, for example.

    There are a few different ways to go about knowing which of your retainers sold the item. They aren't ideal (I do agree being able to see the actual name of the retainer who just sold your item would be very helpful) but they should keep your insanity at bay for at least a little while ;P
