The payed for retainers though... That alone made this patch, something that I'd really been looking forward to, the most disappointing thing that's happened thus far in FFXIV:ARR for me. I didn't know I was putting my time into a game that intended to go that direction.
Tanks get mounts because there's a critical tank shortage. It's a stick and carrot.
