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

[MomomiMomi]

Having more slots to sell is still not a "significant advantage" since you still have to play more to obtain those items in the first place and no goal in this game requires that additionnal surge of gils. On a sidenote, did you read the article linked in your quote?

We clearly disagree on it being a significant advantage. It allows for 5x more item listings and retainer ventures. That is significant by any measure of the word.

I also did indeed read that article. I actually had to put it there on purpose because otherewise the link wouldn't have been there, and it would have only linked to wikipedia's citations part of the page even if it was. I also figured you would nitpick on that portion of the article, where your literal interpretation strikes again. If you've ever played one of those types of games before, you would know that you can advance without paying. It's just slower to do so.

Let's recap something.
Buying 1.0 collector's edition gave you an item to earn more Xp before lvl10 (You can't have this without paying)
Buying 2.0 collector's eidtion gave you an free favored destination (You can't have this without paying)
Buying Stormblood collector's edition gave you an earring to earn more Xp before until lvl50 (You can't have this without paying)
You consider those pay-to-win too ?

Yes, but more limited and less worrying forms of it. Once you've leveled up beyond the max level of the item, it stops giving most of its advantage. And once you've reached maxed level, there is no more advantage at all.

I also don't consider the jump potions to be very worrying for the same reasons. That doesn't mean they aren't still forms of pay-to-win, just more limited versions of it.

For the record, though I'm less worried about those, I still disagree with their existence.
