you are not alone, i stopped playing in the first month of the release when i came back 2 days ago i noticed how the game changed to the better (no more menu lag) i played a little when i noticed my bag was full i went to the market but when i saw how time consuming it will be just to sell my items i just simply logged out...

while i appreciate the developer team for trying to be innovative, they should let go of this idea, some things even if it is old but proved to be effective do not need to be replaced, they should bring the AH back and leave the retainers to be used in small towns or villages in the game.
