Additiona freel retainers

[cgbspender]

Having 4 retainers here, but maining Culinarian as a craft, I had to give up most of the other crafts just to be able to continue cooking.
All glamours go into my personal room already, I desynth/spiritbond the others everytime I can, and for those that I can't do neither : Throw.
Still, massive pain in the neck.

Snip.

Why you seem to like to argue unnecessarily, I'll never know. For all anyone knows, you could be severely underestimating the data required for each slot. You also have to consider resources allocated to other parts of the game. Until they tell us the actual sizes, that is all just speculation.

Allocated resources for slots may be either extremely small or really big, we can't tell. However, increasing stacks to 150 or even 200 wouldn't cause any change to the allocated resources and would be a good start.



I'm genuinely surprised to hear the argument about how allocated resources could have an impact so big as it could potentially crash the servers. There are so much content added at every patch, including materials themselves, that it's hard to believe. If it's true that increasing stacks/slots has an impact so big though, it should be easy to fix, for instance by removing data that is close to useless. For instance, make recipes easier, requiere 1 instead of 2 iteam, 2 instead of 3, for the oldest recipes. Also, remove junk from the marketboard, such as bat's fangs, goobue's tooth which are used in what ? 1 craft only. And yet they fill the marketboard unecessarily. There are plenty of items that have no longer any use, and could easily be removed / replaced by other existing ones.

I think there was an official(?) statement about it. Someone posted something akin to it on the first page. Not a great explaination, mind you; but it was all anyone could go on. I have to agree that there are a lot of undesireable items that could be potentially removed.

Agreed, we should've been given one at least 1 with Heavensward

[Derio]

Yea we should at least be given 1 with Heavensward purchase.

Argue unnecessarily? I responded directly to your point. I made worst case assumptions about the numbers, I've worked with Really large databases for more than a couple of decades, making space estimates is part of the job, as is understanding system architecture. You could easily have responded to the points made without attempting to belittle.

Ugh I kinda need Botanist retainer (Currently only ACN and Miner) for crafting and lazy-to-collect 2.0 botanist gathering... :/

BTW when we can change our retainer's job? I want change my retainer to SCH if possible

I'm not sure that the MB issue is a space one is it? Would they not be more concerned about giving potential RMT accounts 50% more slots to sell things on the MB potentially crowding out real players?

I was expecting at least one retainer in HW if not 2 as part of the story/sidequests/gc quests or something...
