The last patch which allowed more retainers to be called in the Ul'dah Market Wards, I feel, didn't really fix anything. The same market wards are still always full.

As a possible solution, I think each player should only be allowed to have one retainer up per city. That is, I can't call two retainers in Ul'dah. But I CAN call one retainer in Ul'dah, and the other in either Gridania or Limsa Lomisa. This way, I believe more space will be made available for people to call retainers in Ul'dah, and I also believe it would force the market areas in the other cities to become more popular, and therefore, more utilized.

I don't know if this would actually work, as it is just an opinion. And I understand it may not be popular with those who like to use both retainers in Ul'dah... but imagine if it was possible to get the same level of sales in any city, not just Ul'dah.

Lastly, I'd like to see a day when we can have access to more retainers. I craft a lot on all disciplines, and space runs out very fast, especially when you have to have gear/tools for each skill.

Please, let me know how you feel about this. All thoughts, for or against, are welcome; I'd really like to hear what everyone thinks. (sorry if this is a repeat topic, I tried to search and couldn't find anything.)
