Thread: 2.2 Retainers via Microtransactions

Two things would happen then: 1) Only the really rich can buy the better items and the average player is locked out. (I was there in the early days of FFXI when you couldn't buy potions except for insane prices on the market) 2) The economy on the server would be highly unbalanced and SE would have to put in another huge money sync like the original prices of housing.

How is this any different from creating a second character or third or fourth and just lvl up to the point u got retainer???

It's not any different, considering you have to pay a higher monthly sub to get access to more than one character. More money = more retainers in both cases.
