Cross-forum post regarding retainers (CLICK CLICK CLICK)

With the buy-it-now feature, strictly speaking, there is no longer a reason to physically place a retainer into the Market Wards.

This would be true if the feature always worked. With more than half the things I have tried to buy directly, multiple times, I have had to go to the stupid retainer and buy it from them like before. At first I assumed it was bought out and hadn't updated. Nope >< I got every item I went and looked for it.

My ideas for a fix: get rid of market wards, get rid of retainers. Give us a bank or mog house or some kind of storage, and give us an AH that's linked to all three cities. End of story.

as easy as that ey?

Bump. Hopefully we get a reply after the holiday.

They need to make retainers leave after 3 days RL time no matter if they sold everything or not.

Is your server that populated every single ward division is full?

It's a serious question btw.

Yeah I'm on selbina too and summoning retainers is a nightmare. I think it's mostly populated by people who only log on to play economy though, since you don't often see a lot of people around anymore, besides the usual afk fools in uldah and those hanging around moogle, or iron lake raptors ._.
Anyway, it's a rush to get on after maintenance ASAP so you can get a spot in a ward. bleh

Doesn't work anymore Kit
Retainers keep their positions after maintenance. ><

Putting 999,999,999 in retainers should be disconnected for taking up space.
