Retainers and lootbox gambling

[Deveryn]

Retainers just shouldn't cost real money in a game where you must buy the game and pay a monthly fee. Its a F2P feature usualy.

They're mainly there for extra storage, which is a luxury more than a necessity.

If you are into crafting, it is very hard to only have 2 retainers. They also keep adding currencies to the game which fills up extra inventory space too. I created alts to get more retainers for storage.

Currencies have little to no impact. If you're talking about things like trial totems, that's a focus issue. Handle them one at a time and there's no storage problem to be had.

I'm into crafting and I had one extra retainer for a couple months as I got myself up to speed. I fish and I've never had an issue with storage as I focused on each region.

Someone will inevitably bring up dyes to which I'll respond that I keep pigments on hand and have all the tribes unlocked.

this is me lol, I have 5 retainers and their inventories are all maxed out with crafting mats, random currencies/totems, and housing items since I ran out of space in my house storage.

Well myself I use them to have all 3 gathering class and more selling slot. But even if it was only for more storage, it still something you usually see in F2P not in full P2P models.

It's not the same. Those other models are way more restrictive and have less overall space. If you account for things like the armory chest and saddlebag, you have ample space. You just have to focus on doing one thing at a time or go tier by tier with a set of jobs.
