QOL Retainer Management options

[Penthea]

Since players can have up to 10 retainers now. Think SE can maybe add some QOL management Options into it?

1.) Auto Sales adjust - click this button to automatically adjust all your sales on all your retainers so your sales are the cheapest.

- HQ items will adjust against the cheapest HQ item on sale by 1 gil. NQ items will adjust against NQ items. If you want to adjust HQ items against NQ items, you might have to do it manually.

I feel like if you're too lazy to set your own prices then maybe you don't deserve to make money.

Blind undercutting can be bad. I often see it go to the point that the mb prices are below vendor prices. Imagine how silly it would get if we could all do this with a press of a button.

Also sometimes it's better to not set your price below a certain threshold and just wait. If the item is highly sought it will eventually get sold. If you're not in a rush to make gil, then wait. You'll make more in the long run.

- Imagine having 10 retainers with 100 different items, and trying to adjust their selling price everyday...

These people are an extreme minority. I have five retainers and in my 3+ years of playing I haven't personally met anyone with more than me. I don't see SE bringing in a feature with such a tiny amount of people in mind.

2.) Mass Collect Ventures and Reassign Retainers to previously completed ventures. - click this option to collect all of your retainers Venture spoils and reassign them to the last completed venture.

Now this is actually a good idea.

I see this all the time with Demimateria. It's almost constantly around 10-20g cheaper than vendor prices. Is this just blind undercutting or is it there for a reason, like people trying to make Demimateria available to people who can't get it any other way?
But that seems pointless considering the bucketloads of Demimateria I've gotten from Eureka.

Are you referring to the clear demi-materia exclusively? I really don´t know why people even sell that stuff since its only purpose is vendor trash. People are literally just selling money.

1.) Auto Sales adjust - click this button to automatically adjust all your sales on all your retainers so your sales are the cheapest.

And everything on the marketboard would be down to 1 gil within the first day. Undercutting is so stupid to begin with, we certainly don't need to automate such ridiculous behavior. Just list it at the price you want to sell it and leave it there.

This, on the other hand, is a pretty good suggestion.

I've heard of people buying up clear demi-materia and allagan coins when they're transferring servers if they have more gil than they're allowed to transfer with. So yeah, they're essentially buying another form of money just in order to hold some of their money as items. People doing that are often willing to pay a premium to be able to, so you can sometimes sell the demi-materia and coins for more than their listed value, though it might take a while to sell, as people aren't doing this every day. (I've sold a lot of Allagan coins at double face value. That seems to be about as high as most people are willing to go.)

People selling it at or below its listed value, though... I have no idea why they're doing that.
