    The value of a retainer goes way beyond the storage. I find the notion that one gets extra retainers only for their extra space to be silly. I'm not giving up my retainers if they allow us to mail stuff to alts. I don't even have them for their extra storage or MB slots. Those two things are the things people focus on but, imo, they're the most minor things about retainers. They're an army of people to send off and get you what you need. I don't think most people utilize retainers to their full potential.

    The tangible benefits of extra retainers:
    - Storage
    - 20 extra market board slots
    - Ventures

    Those are the things retainers do. But when I'm talking about alts instead of retainers, we're really still talking about the same thing because each alt would have 2 of its own retainers which would still be doing all of those things. Admittedly farming ventures for alts might suck but if you're reaping a good benefit from ventures, then you'd just do it.
