Rumor or not? 3rd free retainer with 3.0.

If they suddenly offered a third free retainer it would piss off a lot of people unless that actually gave us a potential total of five per character.

Yeah. Not raising the total to 5 would definitely make a lot of people think twice about ever buying any additional service. It's hard to judge the actual impact but definitely some of us will put off buying.

And your signature is big. Is it really necessary to leave it at that size? :3

would hope for more retainer inventory space, would solve alot of issues!

(as for her signature, would much prefer a large ,lighthearted sig. to a size 1 font , untrue statement ...just saying)

Even offering 5 per character wouldn't make up for it; one of the best benefits to having a 3rd retainer is that you get to sell stuff in each city. Even if 3.0 adds ishgard as a seperate market that's doable as is.

Okay, I may have missed something, but has there been ANY point to where your retainer sells his or her wares since 2.0 launched? I know in 1.0 there were tax rates per city, but those were removed, weren't they? Is there any reason to have your retainers in different cities other than for the fun of it?

I'd not judge you for hoarding, if you didn't demand game resources and dev time be wasted on catering to the few of you that are incapable of managing your inventory properly.

This is called judging with unsubstantiated claims.

Tax rates per city still exist. Two taxes are paid.

When you list something in Ul'dah for 100 gil, and someone buys it, you receive less than 100 gil, this is across-the-board tax.
Then, at the time of purchase, if the buyer was at Gridania or Limsa, the buyer pays an additional fee.

So if you look at an item listed at the same price from three different sellers based in each of the three cities, then buying from the seller that is in the same city as you are, will be cheaper. This in effect is extra profit or price advantage for the seller.
