3rd Retainer by Default, please?

[Saseal]

I'm not against this. But I'm not for this. Asking for a 3rd retainer by default is just going to spit in the face of people who already paid for their third retainer already. It would be a huge backfire and SE isn't going to be giving refunds any time soon. It's either you buy a retainer or make an alt. Pick your poison.

I agree with this (after reading your post... and after already posting mine x.x). If I did pay for a third retainer, then suddenly all is free, I'd be pissed. Only way they would be able to make up for it is if they got a free retainer on top of their already paid - but even then, they may not even need that new fourth. I'd still be pissed.

but yeah, it'a bit of a pickle. So many people would be happy; so many people would be angry (rightfully)

what if the free retainers only offered half the amount of space? Or lacked other retainer abilities? (ventures, etc)
