Since there's going to be a million "I hate the item condition limit" posts I guess I'll add to the million "this is why they did it" ones.

It's not pandering to crafters, it's a lot easier system resource wise to say ITEM X in ITEM X out, rather than Item X with Y condition and Z spiritbond in same thing out.

They don't have to store the variables for each and every item for each and every character this way. Less server resources consumed does not equal pandering.

I disagree on your justification of the restrictions. If the software backbone cant handle new features in a convinient and functionnal way from the start, why not leave it for 2.0 where so much is being promised including new server software ? I'm already storing all that not-100%/spiritbonded gear on me and my retainers. What if i had a 3rd or 4th retainer ? If adding another storage point compromises the system, dont do it.

I think she hit the nail on the head, actually. We may get the ability to store damaged or spiritbonded gear later, but the track record shows this games code has too much in common with a tangled mess of spaghetti for the devs to deliver anything more than the most basic features initially.

Seriously .. this is 2012 .. now 1990.

If WoW has no problem storing 100's of items in a bank/ guild bank with millions of players I really don't see how SE cant' do it with 20k players.

Now if your argument went something like "SE aren't competent enough to store such variables" or "SE just can't be bothered" then I would probably be more likely to believe you.

As suggested above, why not just allow us to rent a 3rd of 4th retainer, for real money like was promised at launch. (it's almost as if the people working at SE purposefully come up with convoluted idea's just to annoy everybody)

We do kinda have it but I'd like to manage all my storage in 1-place, like the Housing. I dont wanna have to run around wards, going to my retainer or calling them and losing the spot (since all wards are constantly full now)

Jackpot !!

Why can't we summon a retainer to the INN for example ? (oh oh and then replace them back in the ward after we have finished with them)

I'm guessing the INN's would melt if players started summoning retainers there though.
