They do give you 2 for free from the start and even if all available retainers were given out for free people would still be complaining about not having enough inventory.

Retainers are also intended more for longer term storage than short term storage than as short term storage that people sometimes treat them as.

I would like to keep some of the resources I am using while leveling especially crafting. I know at least that is included in the subscription and game itself. Maybe they should reduce the amount of regents it takes or just add a separate tab for those like they have in other games. They did add one for crystals I am unsure if they use to flood the inventory. If they had why did they fix it? Why not take that and throw the crystals back into our inventories. We have tons of space already!
They did reduce the number of materials need when leveling crafting, even if not decreasing the total number of crafting materials, and in multiple ways: Crafting beast tribe dailies supply the material needed for their crafts, custom deliveries are crafted from a limited number of items purchased from nearby merchants and the Firmament crafts only have 1 craft per 10 level period and most of the materials needed are sourced from an attached zone while the single remaining material is easily crafted from easily gathered materials.

Crystals have pretty much always been a crafting currency and the crystals tab was a way to actually let players carry large amounts of them when the stack cap was 99.
