    I don't think the problem is people being able to do everything, but actually that people can sell everything. Square decided to charge for extra retainer sale slots and the markets blew out. Having that artificial control of limited inventory is what balances people with lots of time against people with limited time, not limiting the gameplay options of people with additional time.

    Before extra retainer slots, people used alts. A little more annoying, but basically the same thing. Compared to the cheapest subscription (1 character per server), $2 extra per month gets you 20 new sale slots... or 280 new sale slots (by upgrading to 8 characters per server and selling things on alts).

    What's funny is that now, instead of moving my items that i crafted on my main over to my alt retainers to sell and watch over,
    I can just make it ON my alt and list it right away. It's almost as if SE is forcing my hands to be more efficient at putting my alt into work.
    In fact, the idea of an alt will be very ambiguous when it comes to crafting classes, I'll just end up with 3 or 4 mains
