    Also, a dev commented in another similar thread that they play on alleviating congestion in the market wards by doing two things.

    1.) Increasing the amount of retainers you can summon per ward. (Making them even more cramped and laggy/prone to crashing I'm sure.)

    2.) Retainers will now be ejected from the Market Ward when it has reached capacity and a new retainer is summoned. (Do I really even need to say what a horrible decision this is? >_>)

    SEs way of fixing things. Make it bigger, then limit it's usefulness.

    It's one of those things that make me facehoof. Best case scenario, it frees up retainers that have no items and possibly pisses some people off because they lose their spot. Average and worst case scenario, it either kicks out someone with a legitimate retainer trying to sell items, or does nothing because there are no empty retainers to be kicked out.

    These proposed fixes are about as helpful as SE threatening to poke people in the eye with a stick if they list their retainers in the hope that a certain percentage will no longer use the wards for fear of losing an eye.

    It's a little sad that sometimes their player base (beacons of light in a dense fog like Wolfie) come up with better solutions in their sleep than these people do spending time, money, and probably one to many staff meetings planning out... What? Do they have a sign on the door to their conference room that reads "Leave your damn common sense at home where it belongs."
