    No. I wouldn't. Retainers are not inefficient, well not comparatively. I would trade a few things between alts, but I would never give up my paid retainers. I don't went to spend the entirety of my playtime mailing stuff back and forth.

    Well it's either that or keep your paid retainers in check, just like I did. I didn't spend a single dime on them since it's incredibly unfair and other games, most of which are f2p, offer better banking systems that can be expanded both with real money and in-game money. And they're also permanent.

    But if I could I would, still saves me 2 bucks on an already underwhelming subscription that IN MY OPINION (gotta put that on caps because opinions are dangerous online) barely feels worth it nowadays: you don't get much out of it besides accessing the game and lots of customization features that should've and could've been easily ingame (Sleipnir is a cash shop items despite having an Odin trial AND Fate is a good example) are locked behind the overpriced cash shop.
    I felt more rewarded subbing to SWTOR and the deceased Wildstar: they at least give you cash shop currency for your shopping - I'm probably sitting at 7k CC in SWTOR thanks to the key alone, and I haven't played that game in a while!

    Sure 2 bucks are nothing but that's 24 euros saved in a year, almost 2 months of subs, up to 144 if you use all 6 of the available retainers, money that I can use for many better things than a flimsy, inefficient, lousy, clunky and overall underwhelming "banking" system, which at least we agree on that.

    But you do you though!

    Well yeah, it's all opinion. For me, I look at it as even sub + retainers is still one of my more cheap hobbies and one that I probably spend the most time doing, so it is still money well spent.
