Leveling Retainers and Other Retainer QoL

[Kes13a]

What needs to happen is it removes the link to your jobs in some way. Either it looks at your highest level and makes that the cap for retainers no matter what class they're on, or better yet SE removes all the checks period. Get rid of that user-unfriendly jank we have now.

I think a lot of the "user unfriendly jank" is there to slow down the bots and RMT crowd.

if that is the case, I would certainly want more "jank" put in place and I dont care how unfriendly it is if it means I can compete on the MB with real humans and not bots.

In this particular case, the "jank" means nothing to the bots because they have no need to assign retainers combat classes/jobs. They get the retainers for the marketboard listings and storage, which don't require a class unlock.

Even in general, it means nothing to bots that are simply following their programming. Things supposedly intended to hinder bots don't while players are negatively affected.

The online gaming industry needs to rethink how they're approaching the bot issue.
