Why are we getting more retainers?

[ShinigamiB06]

The space taken for three retainers is about the same as two larger or even one even larger retainer. The volume isn't as much an issue as the amount of resources it requires to pull one larger inventory table up as opposed to three separate smaller inventory tables. I agree switching between more than one retainer is a pain and we should be sent back to the initial choice of which retainer to access, but increasing the retainer's inventory is actually a worse solution.

Yeah I think you are correct about this. It makes sense for this to be a development design decision that allows you to retrieve less data at a time from the server. hats off to you.

But it makes me think...If GW2 did it, then I can only assume it is doable and/or not that costly (development wise). So I can only deduce from that, that the reason we dont implement it in ARR is because of PS3 limitations. Which, let me tell you, really sucks because im a PS3 player all the way.

Yes. Please. I'd even be willing to use the F2P bank style of having limited slots and having to pay money to open more. Seriously, this game needs a cash shop. I'd sink ridiculous amounts of money into buying vanity items and bank slots. You. Just. Don't. Know.

i stand corrected. THIS is the worst possible solution. How can you suggest adding a cash shop to a game with a monthly subscription!? Honestly, im pretty sure i would be able to afford it, but i would quit the game just on principle alone. The game would be a Pay to play, pay to win game. UGH!

fucking threads like this piss me off, thanks for wasting everyone time with nonsense.

here is some more subjects for threads you could do.

"Why are we getting chocobo racing this patch?"
"Why are we getting gold saucer this patch?"
"Why are we getting personal housing this patch?"

Way to miss the entire point of the thread. When I see a player like you who has capped all classes, and yet makes posts like the one you just did, it reminds me that MMORPGs dont require skill or intelligence to play. only endurance...
