    A fact i love from retainers i dont want toget changed once 2.0

    With the upcoming 2.0 and the promise of an Auction House.... i think this deserve to be mentioned and at least i havent seen anyone to mention.

    What is it? well it is the way sales/purchases are anonimous.

    In FFXI you had to deal with stuff like this...

    1.- You set an item for 100 gil but then someone make a mistake and buy it for 100000 gil... then as seller you have a guy trackin you down to make you pay for a mistake that wasnt yours, Now this will be debatable from diferent points of view it be fair or not blah blah blah, this not the point of the matter, the trouble is you as hseller end with someone chasing you. On our current sistem this doesnt applies as you watch the actual price of an object, but with the upcoming introduction of an Auction House this might be again a concern.

    2.- On FFXI you sell something of big interest and your name appears on the list as seller... ok this might be good, as people might try to contact you to buy things directly from you.... but it also has its bad side... there will be also people contact you who do alot of questions about it and dont even make a purchase from you, also what if for x-reason you want to sell something without no one to know about it?

    Anyways the main point is, i love the way people know wich retainer is sellin what, but no one see your main character's name on it, and honestly i love it and i dont want it to change once they add auction house style, it would be neat if it happens to be like in XI... but with the diference the name(s) that appears on the sold/bought list be those of your retainers and not your main characters name.

    I only wish they'd implement bidding again à la XI instead of showing the actual prices on stuff as this only seems to encourage some ridiculous, absolutely absurd undercutting. Because of that, trying to sell something is a freaking pain in the ass 90% of the time.

    Ill be honest you see I farm all my materials which is a plus. Now seeing as I farm all my materials I can set my prices lower than other players. I set the price based on how easy or hard the materials was to get a hold of, as well as the difficulty in crafting the item (hq items depending on the level can be difficult). I dont consider this undercutting because I farmed all my materials. I dont have a middle man that I buy stuff from nor do I buy very much from the wards/retainers. This is a free market and each player has the right to charge whatever they want for whatever the item is. If players are stupid enough to buy an item/gear or what not for a high price that is their choice and as long as players continue to buy said item/gear or what not at such a high price this will continue.

    And we all know that once your retainer gets taken out of an Ul'dah ward, you probably won't be able to get him/her back in there for days/weeks. At least that's how it seems on Hyperion. 4 days straight that I'm unable to get my 2nd retainer in any ward. Thankful that I have at least one retainer in the wards.

    I am glad that you can even get one retainer in an Uldah ward because I have yet to be able to do that in a long time on Masamune. I have given up trying and yes I know they added easy access to other wards but still not that many people use them. WTB AH.
