[REQ] RMA = Retainer Mobile App

[Mature]

Life is overrated (?)
I have a lot of dead times at work and between classes when I am at the university, doing something useful in those times could be nice

That's what I was getting into. I got a bit of spare time myself at work I could use to check retainers out.

It would be nice if for no other reason than to send my retainers out on more ventures while I'm far away from home.

I have to say I would disagree with this kind of request. WoW has something like this with their armory. Which, someone can correct me if I am wrong, but that has been hacked in the past and it effected the players. Players lost thousands of gold because of it. Now imagine if it happened with FFXIV it could be a mess. Not to mention rmt and bots. I feel that this kind of app, while nice written down, would only add fuel to the situation.

Edit: Here we go about that hacking/bug WoW had that I mentioned:

How about no? The undercutting is already rampant enough as it is, no point in making it even worse.

According to this interview Yoship has taken on board this kind of idea I propose some time ago. Don't know if he actually read this but I am pleased but maybe in the future this could become reality.

Recently, Lodestone introduced the possibility to see a lot of things with the Retainers. Visualizations of sales made, inventories, and even the progress in an assigned task. Is this the beginning of an entirely web management (or even smartphone application) for Retainers?

Naoki Yoshida : The team is working on trying to develop an application like we don’t logging in the game but you can access to your retainers and actually control the retailers with this apps. However in order to do that, we need a lot of development cost and also the communication cost will be in core. That’s something we are working on.

Fingers crossed

It sounds good. It will help me when I can't get in front of my computer that has the game like when I m in school doing nothing or at work during my break times. The app is not a bad thing but the individual that make a bad judgment and use it addictively like ppl that wanted to try drugs for the first time didn't even check whether or not they could have inclinations to be addicted by just one dose.

I just want SE to hurry up with the replacement app. The Libra app no longer lets you log in and isn't updated with 3.0 info. Being able to sort retainers on the fly is a nice idea though

Sometimes I'm at work and I have some spare time and I wouldn't mind checking the pricing and just make sure i still got a shot on selling my item.

I think is a handy idea. I truly hope it happens

[Fenwick]

Not sure about setting prices on the market, but I'd love to be able to send my retainers out on ventures from my cell phone. :l

Ya I think at it's core it just be best as an app that allowed you to send out retainers on ventures, least then you could make better use of the hourly trips without having to be logged on for each return.
