If SE did give us 3, people would just then ask that they actually should get 4 for free, and then it will continue. Can't give people too many inches; they start to add up. I've collected all kinds of gear, and my retainers aren't full. My secret is not storing up crap materials for crafting "just in case I level that craft later". I'll farm them when I do.

I know that, even though I don't really need it, I'll likely still purchase at least 1 extra retainer. Why? Helping to support the game. More money towards server costs might just provide enough extra to keep upgrading them and making them better. I think of it like investing in the future of the game.
