    Hmm... that's probably why they didn't include the retainer's owner then! :P

    Really, my reason was more naive.

    they could make it so, when you search for an Item and there is 0 retainers selling it, you could choose an option "seek craft". Your retainer would then have this extra icon with seek craft.

    Crafters cool search the ward in the "seeking craft" menu and see what is requested. Once crafted they can go exchange this item to the seeking retainer for the reward listed by the seeker.

    I think this is a very good, and unique idea. this or some form of this would bring supply and demand to the forefront of the marketwards and give a good way for the crafters to really know what's in demand other then prices and constant monitoring.

    Great Suggestion Perrin way to think positively!
