Stop with the pay to win advanages for retainers, suggestions on fixes

[Vstarstruck]

Are you really actually worried that people are truly going to be sitting there with an array of smartphones on multiple game characters/accounts and spending MogCoin withoutcare just so they can edge out their competition on their server's FFXIV marketboard, who can't possibly keep up because multiboxing and price adjusting in the game proper is slightly more tedious (even though it's at no transaction cost)?

People? no.. also I explained why someone would do it while on the game itself, for TIME. you can lose a sale it takes to switch chrs and other thins, pulling materials out of retainers. This is why career crafters have their most visited retainer have slower moving things or generally less valuable selling things.

For the thousandth time though, I am not worried about "people" I know "people" will not be doing this, I get it from the boards career crafters are a minority. What I am worried about is that ONE PERSON that wants to abuse this. With this app, esp on duel box can control the MB if they wish with this app, that simple. Will it actually happen? no idea, all I know is with some people spending thousands of dollars on meaningless phone games, I have to say the chances are pretty good for that one person to pop up.

for having an army of iphones to back that up? I can see it happening unless SE is going to resist it one per account and they did not say one way or the other on that matter. I mean... there is always an outlier that does stuff like this. (guy throwing money away destroying tons of iphones)

Ofc this is getting off topic and leads to other stawmans (i am sure you or others will "defeat" what I said above order to prove "not to worry about it" or "not a big deal") You shouldn't be selling power of any form, retainers and app gives you more selling power, gives you increased gil gain opportunity over someone not buying the extra fees. Not really fair to try to "encourage" spending on micro transactions on undercut spam, in an environment that promotes undercut spam (i/e provoking those whales to whale on this)

That is, if SE sold an item called "God Avenger", and it gave you +10000 to your primary stat, and was only available on the cash shop, that would be selling power. that item alone would give you a strategic advantage over ALL the other players i the game who do not have that item.

Now, the app is a touch different because having extra retainers or teh ability to change market board pricings does not provide some definitive advantage to the games power structure. GIL, for what it is, does not directly translate into Power in FFXIV.

I think enabling someone to literally own the market board is more "power" then giving someone +10000 to your primary stat. One lets you solo savage... who cares? while the other leads to making people miserable.

This right here shows how skewed your reasoning on this really is.

You stating this only shows your bias and skewed views. "Only battle content matters" I do not think so.
