What were retainer wards? (Other than terror incarnate, apparently...)

So the v1 market system worked like this. You put things up for sale on your retainer and sent them to a ward. If you wanted to buy something, you want into the retainer ward and checked every single one individually. There was no search function, there was no identification, nothing. You simply checked each retainer separately, one at a time, to find what you were looking for.

Eventually, toward the end, they did add a search function but all it did was give you a retainer name, then you had to go in and search through the ward to find the retainer. There were so many retainers in the ward that they would blink in and out of existence so you had to move slowly both before and after.

It was an absolute nightmare.

Oh and the wards were all split between things like "weapons" "weaver items" and such. You could put anything on a retainer but you had a better chance of selling, crafting tools, for instance, if it was in the tools ward as opposed to the armor ward. A total mess.
