The only advantages you can get is extra retainer venture chances and it is hardly game breaking.
These retainers can not help me in PvE or help mekill people in PvP.
Please do enlighten me
game braking or not, that does not change it is P2W, P2W is not defined by how big something is that is gamebreaking.

"These retainers can not help me in PvE or help me kill people in PvP." does not matter to define something as P2W.

You saying there is no impacting advantages just means you have them not selling anything.

Time, I can get whatever I want simply by buying it, and not waste time doing x or y, hey.. same thing as leveling potions and MSQ potions, funny.

However having that much gil, esp if you are going full whale means a complete control over the market. My personal issue with that is I simply think it is wrong, but at the same time bragging about how I control a fully economy is tempting.
