Is Selling using Retainer an Outdated System?

[Hycinthus]

Retainers exist so SE can monetize storage and auction house sale slots. There's probably enough people paying for the maximum number of retainers and the crummy app that it won't change no matter what we do.

I agree with monetization and limitation, it makes sense and I’m also not asking for us to be able to list 1000 items on marketboard.

However, it doesn’t need to be through retainers right? Let us purchase/unlock additional slots to list items directly on marketboard. Bypass the retainer menu altogether.

What I don’t like this:
1) retainer causes more menus and it slows down the process. There’s even a short loading time.
2) totally unintuitive for new joiners
3) when i want to list/delist, it’s more slogging through menus.

Like i said, if i forgot 1 item, i had to run back quickly and slog through retainers again and everything gets delisted because you pulled that retainer away. While that time could have been used for the items to remain on the board, and might potentially miss buyers during those precious seconds.

You may say, oh its just 2 seconds. But All i’m saying is, is there a purpose or not? If not, to me this seems good for streamlining.
