Additiona freel retainers

[Raist]

As you can see in bold, these are my reaction from all of this Bullcrap.

I am paying for retainers because that's the only way they enforce it. You pay for extra inventory slots, which they swear they have no more room for it. Else it would be unstable. But they still managed to increase the inventory through these paying retainers. See the catch?

They just are greedy as every other business. And as such, I'll consider them not my friends that they want us to have a good time, but for them to make sure Square Enix is in good $$ Shape.

We all know they can do better.

And yes, one Free retainer per Expansion should be a minimum.

Yoshi-P is a PR. He's doing his job. The rest is just shareholders that wants more with the least investment, as with any other companies, big or small. I am not getting fooled.

Expanding our inventory and adding retainers are two different things, and consume resources differently. Expanding our inventory directly increases network and server loads (not just theirs, but across the internet as well) in addition to the increase in used space on the servers. Remember, our inventory is continually updated in the background whether we are interactig with it or not. In contrast, retainers mostly only increase the used space on the servers (though they may have an impact on network/server loads with increased presence on the market boards).

Just saying, there is a bit more to the story under the hood than some may realize.

Yup, you are right about putting the retainers on the Market Board for selling our stuff.

If they really had the server stress issues, they wouldn't have moved from their stances and kept 2 retainers only. I see it as a scheme to make more money.

We all want this game to last for years. Yoshi saved it with 2.0, with 3.0, they are becoming more fragile imho. Hopefully he'll open his Ahriman's eyes before the fall. (pun intended)

I am having too high expectations for the coming 4.0. But that means I love this game so much I don't mind paying for 6 months ahead when the patches are pushed back for more than the 3 months predicted. That means that the next one might be on time, but those after, no one is sure and they can have another explanation (all the Devs got the same sickness for 2 weeks) to justify their lateness, for example.

So yeah, I don't mind paying extra money for retainers. Just be.. coherent with your talk, SE.
