    I'm smellin $$ to win

    Still noob with retainer services because never lvl retainer yet.
    Not quite P2W, but even I'll admit it's getting dangerously close. Only games I see with such an inventory disparity between those that pay extra and those that don't are F2P games. Not going to be getting more than the 2 extra retainers I already have, but deff feel like this is a low blow.

    The retainers, given the functionality, is still very far from P2W. They could offer 100 retainers, and it'd still be rather far from P2W... given how you essentially lose for spending that much in the eyes of anyone not looking to burn some Benjamins for the fun of it, and the fact that it's entirely RNG to get something that is only useful for X amount of not-guaranteed gil.

    Only time will tell though as to whether or not they use this as their crutch of an excuse to ignore Armoire and other inventory space solutions. As much as I don't mind paying for retainers (they serve multiple useful functions that don't affect anything game breaking, afterall), even I can see how stupid of a move it was to do this without addressing the other problems when CLEARLY server capacity is not an issue.
