I really think the fact that the additional retainer rental ability was added simultaneously with adding a huge pile of new items to the game, additionally compounded by the fact that we 1 - must keep the items that are the source of our glamour around in order to use them and 2 - got the 12 non stacking atmas that don't go into key item inventory at the same time was just a painfully obvious ploy to get people to pay extra. I'm sorry but at no point will the extra 5mb of data (extreme top end, probably much much much less) that a retainer represents be worth 2$/month. Want to charge extra for flashy outfits or whatever? Fine, as long as there are still a decent variety of appearances available for free, I couldn't care less. Charge me extra for storage you then actively design in such a way to make mandatory for certain play styles? Not cool.
