Lets talk about the Bait Box for fishing

[Ormolt]

At this point, I do agree that the saddlebag can fill this function when you're fishing in a lot of areas with different bait requirements as it has more than enough slots to carry a good amount of lure variety unless you need all ARR/HW/SB/SHB/Ocean bait with you at all times (personally I've never done this and sell/store my bait if I wasn't going to an expansion's areas for a while, but maybe there are people who would like this). I do think it would be nice to have a method of managing bait that didn't need you to swap the items between two inventories so a tackle box could be a small quality of life inclusion just to save some time/fiddling with buttons on that front (this is assuming you can't use bait that's in your saddlebag vs being in your inventory, which I don't remember if this is the case or not as I've not been fishing in a while and I obviously can't check in game at the moment).

Why are fees charged for extra retainers? Because it makes more sense to only charge those players adding to the problem with their hoarding instead of charging every player, most of whom don't need the additional space.

Do consider that not everyone buys the extra retainers for inventory space though - they might want the extra ventures per hour for materials/greater chances of various minions etc, I know I've been tempted to get another because having multiple retainers collecting various crafting materials that drop from mobs is appealing. Maybe that still justifies the fee charge, but it's not just hoarding that can make an extra retainer (or two) appealing.
