Retainers, too much interaction?

It's about the number of steps in the interaction, not the amount of time it takes. It was already bad, then they went and added an extra step with the expansion launch to make it even more tedious. It could definitely use some major streamlining. I, for one, don't need to see the same damn chat bubbles every time I call my retainer, I could care less about their "personality"...they're just this game's silly way of adding "vault storage" or whatever other MMOs call them. I'd say them also being the game's method of selling our stuff on the MB makes them even worse. We should be able to directly post things for sale with our characters...you know, like how every single other MMO in existance does it.

It has to be longer then 5 seconds. I can't quick venture all retainers if I am on the first and a duty pops at the 6th one I always fail to reventure. I have everything set up to make it as fast as possible for reventure.

Methinks you need to borrow someone's stopwatch. Just getting to one retainers menu alone takes five seconds due to waiting on animations and menus to become active to interact with them.

And the issue Is...?

Unnecessary tedium. Some things are understandably tedious. Others, there's no reason, nor excuse, for them to be.
