Poll: I'd sub to the app if I got a free retainer. Otherwise, no.

[Wrothgar77]

The only people who need that feature right now are those who have 9 retainers already. I mean, that has to be the vast minority of players.

SE, you'd make a lot more money if you just throw in the extra retainer as part of the 5 dollar sub. You're losing out on an awful lot of extra money (like mine) by making us pay to pay even more...

I'm confused. The paid version does come with an extra retainer. Maybe i'm misunderstanding what you mean.

It gives you the option to hire another one above the previously existing limit, but you still have to purchase it separately IIRC

EDIT: Yeah that's the way of things

the ability to purchase an additional retainer on the Mog Station

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't realize that was the case. That sounds terrible.

This "free" retainer would still cost money on top of the game subscription, so no.

[Fawkes]

I already hate that additional bank storage requires an additional subscription fee, even for regular retainers.

You know you could make some alts and end up with 14 free retainers per world, yeah its a bit boring leveling alts, but hey, they're free and that's more than enough storage!

except without a willing free company or a person to hold your stuff for you between alts, you can't trade items between characters.

hrm, i originally saw the translation as "the ability to hire another retainer. please note this does not count towards the 9 retainer maximum"

despite what they say i'm thinking this is wait and see

0 intention of using the app regardless. I don't need to be connected to a video game 24/7
