In FFXIV almost nobody used them to sell stuff anyway since they implemented the search for the wards. It was only used for some extra storage so removing them from player and giving the extra space to retainer is an accepatble and understandable solution.

Does anyone of the ppl complaining about loosing the bazaar sold stuff via bazaar in the last 6-12 months (and i dont mean 1 or 2 items) on a regular basis?
