    Suggestions for the retainer interface (With mockup pictures)

    As a crafter and someone who sells a lot of items in the market, I've always found the retainer interface very clunky to use. It feels like a system that would work fine if you only had 1 retainer, but becomes unwieldy when managing multiple ones.

    I made some mockups to illustrate some suggestions that I personally think would benefit the retainer system. It's not so much a remake as it is an iteration of the current interface. I've mostly looked at the core management of multiple retainers, as I find the jumping between all the menus very cumbersome.

    If this got some dev love, that would be great. I hope to at least spur some discussion.

    I'd like to add one more suggestion to your mockup. Next to the retainer's name should have the icon of the city-state that retainer is selling in.

    Maybe that would be better, yeah. Is it possible to get a thread moved to a different forum?

    If that's a holdup, then don't do it for PS3 ... make it an incentive to upgrade hardware!
