Oh, and speaking of retainers!

It's fine that they give us two retainers, it's kind of nice, but what's frustrating is that in the shopping areas, the item search will only pick up certain items in the ONE district! Meaning if you have a retainer in the accessories district, you might as well ONLY put rings, earrings, necklaces, etc. on that retainer. And maybe you want to sell weapons on your 2nd retainer. Well, you're ONLY gonna be putting weapons on that badboy, because of the item search feature and how it currently functions. If you put armor, supplies, etc on him, nobody will find it because it won't be in the item search.

What was so bad about having an auction house again? If it's problems with the economy, then I have to argue that the current state of the market districts is already in its own way an auction house, since you can now see the cheapest prices on a certain item, and you can challenge that price with a cheaper one, which is pretty much kinda how FFXI's auction house worked, and is EXACTLY how wow's auction house works. The only problem with FFXIV's current situation is that it limits you on what you can sell that will be seen in the Item Search.

ugh!! lol
