The premium app is what finally made me unsub.

I kinda want to hear what OP refer to in game consequence for using the app.

Since you won't let this go.

Basic economics. Any time any seller has a competitive advantage in a market they come out ahead. The premium app gives the option to hire an extra retainer.

Therefore,

All things other being equal, those willing to spend more real money in a game get more game based income. If you're willing to spend the money on 8 extra retainers, you have 160 more marketboard slots than someone who isn't willing to do that. The definition of pay to win. But that also goes to retainers in general and I have an issue with that as well.

I bought extra Retainers for inventory space because I likes to horde weapon, tier gear, tome gear, and various glamour gear.
Retainer market board is secondary and often cost me much more time and effort to list items.
As you already made your mind, I wish you are good luck for your venture in other games.
Enough said, no need to beat on a dead horse since OP already made his mind, any further argument is pointless.
Just wish him farwell.

Same to you. May all your rolls be good ones.
