A quick consideration I had is that while some are harping on it making some users p2w by better managing the market board, there is something of note that isnt addressed. P2W models are almost always self serving. That is to say if I buy a powerup that gives me better stats than a free user, that power up is going to snowball ME to be even stronger longterm. If people have teh ability to manage their retainer inventories and put stuff up on teh MB and then price modify at will (should they pay), the likely hood is that people will UNDERCUT other people. This means, broadly, that overtime, MB prices should drop a bit as people attempt to UC each other. Thats beneficial to the average MB buyer.Furthermore, it still requires you to be logged in to do stuff. You cant sell things that youre retainer doesnt have. So you want to sell mats? Ok. Youre gonna have to log in and farm them and then give them to your retainer.

Also, not sure on this, but did they say if you could assign retainer missions or not? If not, than the supposed advantage almost becomes negligible. Its essentially using a micro transaction to UC other players for gil profit, which benefits the player base semi directly by driving down costs (albeit slightly probably) in a competitive bid on items.
