Retainer ventures have already being buffed to account for the increase in retainer and item levels. Quick ventures, which are unaffected by retainer or item levels, have being buffed as well. Retainers are now bringing back items which used to cost hundreds of thousands of gil - in some cases millions of gil. It is a major slap in the face to people who have invested time and money into the ability to craft these items, and now players who have nothing to do with crafting can just get them for free by doing nothing. Retainers ventures are already more powerful than it is reasonable after 3.1, so I don't understand what you are complaining about.

If SE decides to buff ventures even more, we wouldn't even need an economy and/or crafting - everyone should just raid only and send out their retainers to grab whatever they need. So, please take your venture freebies and just keep quiet, you already got more of a handout than what many would see as justified.
