Leading with a personal attack. What do you think that accomplishes? Do you think it helps you win the argument? Do you think it makes me sad, because you think I care about the opinion what some internet stranger who has no clue who I am? LOL. No, not a bit.

My argument is that since three battle retainers keep me awash in more mats than I can use, two is enough. Can you prove otherwise?

A minor inconvenience. Anything such retainers might gather, I can quickly and easily gather myself. It's not like hides and other beast-part drops.

Then why have they served that function (getting difficult beast-part drops) ever since 2.0?

What's your source of knowledge that justifies your claim about what retainers are "supposed" to be? Or are you just making things up to suit your conclusion?
