The ability to send a retainer to the wards via the bell was added in 1.22, but the huge flaws with this are:

1. There is no indication as to whether the ward you are sending your retainer to is full, you send them and it looks like they have gone, but they havent, we need some indication.

2. I used the bell to call my retainer who was in the wards, I was managing her for about 3 mins, and in that time the slot she was in got filled, and now all the Ul'dah wards are full, I would like (with this feature already added in 1.22) to have a cool down after a retainer has been called though the bell, so the slot remains yours for a set time, if the retainer is not in the wards in that time the slot opens up.

It is very conviniant to have a bell in the merchantile ward with the few steps to check prices and to the bell, but the "Dispatch your retainer to the market wards" command is absolutely useless if the slot can be taken instantly, this cooldown only needs to be about 30 mins (maybe less) to make it fair for everyone.

I know people are going to say "Use another cities wards" I will probably try that tomorrow and see how it goes, this is just something I think needs adding or the ability to send them to the wards is useless.

And a final comment, use the bell at your own risk, you may loose your slot it only takes 5 mins for someone to take the slot.
