Yea, there are some great perks that SE could give to us for leveling up our retainers and here's the problem as I see it. You and I could strike up a deal, right. You buy all my items, I buy all yours items and when we're done we have both spent the same amount of gil. Or some combination where you and I aren't out gil, but just a little time to buy each other's goods. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Maybe it's not such a big deal, but I see it as a simple way to exploit such a system.
