Is it time we had another free retainer?

So we should believe that if theoretically we all would buy at least one retainer the server would explode?

It is funny that they cant give us much more free space but are able to pump out new retainers or more space for the sattle bags for money. They needed to make sure that if a lot of people would buy them that the server still runs fine so I doubt that its really a issue there..Unlike the housing wards which are active all the times I doubt that the retainer takes much space if they are not called.

No I believe they simply dont give us more free space because why do that if we just can pay for it? Why give them a whole sattlebag if we can put half of it behind a paywall? They might make excuses (because admitting that they are only doing that to get more money would be bad) but we know from other examples that they might not be true..look how long they have said that we cant get more wards because that would be bad for the servers (good job creating something so inefficient) but suddenly as soon as the anger was high enough after Shirogane savage they were able to double the amount of wards in every single housing district..what a surprise...

I've always paid for 6 retainers, not all of them are full but they are always full on the market board. Keeps a steady large gil stream going. So is there is that aspect if you gave everyone 20 more selling slots, there will be further market place fluctuations versus those who already pay. If you look at the trend these last two patches they have siding more on taking more and more Gil out of the economy.

If you look at item storage objectively they gave the saddlebag and glamour chest free over time. Basically 400 slots just for gear alone. So it wasn't like they didn't add any value to item storage.

And how many people are really stuffing their retainers full to sell on the MB? They are trying to take out more gil but I believe that its more because of bots since otherwise they are making it quite easy to earn money. If we get more free retainers then maybe some items might become cheaper but honestly those that are already playing the MB game will just have to adjust and move to something else, just like its done right now. I mean its not like getting one or two more retainers suddenly gives them certain items on top of that. They would still have to level them to sent them out, they would still have to pay them for each venture. And its not like they would suddenly take out every paid retainer, so dont worry you would still have your advantage that you have right now.

They gave the saddlebag but only half of it. They also never gave fishers a tackle box so for me my saddlebag is mostly a tackle box and holds a lot of currency that does not go into the currency tab..thankfully I have a FC chest only for me where I can store all my dye too..we would need a lot less storage if a few common things would not need to be stored..Dyes, bait, currency...

The glamour chest is the bare minimum..F2P games are managing to give us whole glamour chests without any limits which you can use everywhere..400 slots are nice but are nothing when you compare the amount of items out there..and with each patch they get more while the chest might be updated once or twice per expansion. I already reached the limit of 400 at the start of the expansion. I had to take out some stuff to make more space for things that I will probably use more often and had to store another part at my retainer. Maybe they should do something about the bloat..why do we need x amount of different flowers if we could just dye them?
