The MW system will likely not see any huge improvement until 2.0 is out with the auction house. It makes little sense now with the new version being only about half a year away.
It always surprises me to find players willing to do the dirty public-relations for SE. It's the company's place to say this, not ours... even if it seems obvious.

It's negotiations 101: You don't grant any of the points your opponent is trying to make, unless they make them, lest you run out of chips to negotiate with, or fail to earn the leverage owed to you for the granting of the point.

The OP is right: As the game stands today, there should be an equitable way to obtain spots for our retainers. All the rest is just us compensating for SE's failure to provide it.
