Dream, please look into it.

WoW let's you craft from your bank, which is exactly what your retainer is.

If they want to bitch about server traffic/load, then maybe they need to find servers with a beefier backbone.

If its not server side, its incredibly exploitable.

Your not just loading up stored variables, your loading up the entire NPC Program in order to access those variables. That is what is causing the traffic. In WoW, your variables are stored under a pretty much scriptless/programless NPC. While your retainers which have the ability to change armor, sell items, store items, change classes and etc are entire scripts and programs with variables as well.

You can't really compare WoW at all with how these retainers work.
