Callback did have a good point when he said that, and it's true, the only way this problem will change is if we give them a reason to change it - by not endorsing the pay-for-retainers shtick. Sorry SE...but it is a little lame...

That said, it sounds like Sho86 has a different play style than most of us asking for this (and as much as it bugs me he thinks people are trolls for not playing like him, I'll leave it there...). Most of us who want at least an additional retainer tend to either enjoy the glamour side-game, or want to have as many mats on hand as possible, just for convenience in crafting. Your play style's fine, "Sho" enough, but some of us can't do that and still enjoy the game as much as we're trying. Hence the thread...

You said it yourself - it's a pain as it is now.
