Retainer Services in Golden Saucer Please!

[Katsushiro]

I still personally don't think a few spread out retainer bells would be so bad. In fact, if the argument is that there are too many people (and I don't know how it is on your servers, true, but), then I rarely see more than three or four PCs participating, or standing idle, in the areas outside of the blue zone of GS in Sargantas at any given time (and that's a Legacy server) unless there's a limited-time event going on...

They could put a bell in each "bar" area, or in areas where GATEs don't pop. Hell, if it's such an issue - make a separate area for people to get stuck in like the Chocobo area called, like, "The Coat Room" or something... People who afk and use aoe actions there are one thing, but two or three retainer bells in GC doesn't sound so outrageous just because of them... Maybe you should be reporting the aoe spammers? And according to all this logic, shouldn't there be no retainers in Mor Dohna at all? But people would probably flip out if SE took those away... So then the question becomes... why aren't there retainers in Dragonhead if there are retainers in Mor Dohna? That clearly has nothing to do with PCs maxing out an area's capacity. lol Apply the same logic to GS. And for that matter...

the lack of MB in Mor Dhona and the lack of retainers in GS are purposeful design decisions so that no one zone is an overcrowded mess.

Then why is there a Summoning Bell in the Wolve's Den? I've seen people afk, idle-hang, and queue for duties there too, but have never heard anyone suggest it was overcrowded, and that's a much smaller area than GS.

Then again, for me, it's all about teleporting in and out of GS to check my retainers and how that gil offsets what I earn from quick ventures while scrambling to get the special dyes I actually want to use... So I guess one more Favored Destination option would be a perfectly fine consolation to no retainers in GS... Could I at least get that? lol
