There are plenty of activities that people do that do NOT generate venture tokens as well. If you choose to play by running content that will grant you ventures, that's cool. Not all content does so, and you're still avoiding the simple point that retainers can only do what a player tells them to, they are not the seemingly automatic gil fountains that you and Jynx appear to believe they are.
