This is the only thing mentioned so far that even remotely suggests any milk cow or p2w possibilities, otherwise them doing this cant be called anything different than paying for "mules".

In every p2p MMO out there, your access to inventory space and market board usage is not restricted behind an extra pay wall. FFXIV is a p2p MMO and thus it should be no different. It's really as simple as that.

Listen here, who cares about "other" P2P? SE can do whatever the heck they want.
You want more Retainers pay for it, deal.

It's like WoW asking 40$ for an Expantion of their Games, other P2P deliver them for free but Blizz makes you pay for it.

It's called marketing.

I would, but all the deli's have closed now. Also, I don't think any of them sell that particular popsicle.

What I can't with the "Market board usage is not restricted behind an extra pay wall" first off you already have two retainers.. with the patch we may get a third for free (through questing or what not) now then if someone wants to buy one more because maybe they are a hoarder that is not restricting access in anyway. You can use the MB right now.. and maybe you are.. how is this...what? I highly doubt someone is going to buy a hoard of retainers just so they can hold the market for one item. It's called supply and demand if you have 4 retainers selling similar stuff.. you still are competing with EVERYONE else who is also selling it. Do some people corner the market sure but I'll be damned they don't have anything better else to do...
