In my opinion, if SE is so hell-bent on keeping retainers in, then they should be moved to a house-moogle function and serve as a storage system in your inn rooms or other player house function. In place of the retainers should be implemented a proper, centralized auction house system much like how FFXI's AH works. Consider this a petition to you for sweeping change to the market system in or before patch 2.0 SE. Reply/comment to this post to get it noticed.

Agreed. Sorry but NOBODY is going to want to run through a room (even instanced) full of 200 retainers and browse through each individual one. If they try to force players to do so, they will end up putting in a search function (if not already planned) and everyone will use that 100% of the time. Case in point, there is absolutely no point in the retainer system at all, especially not where they are all centrally located. In your mog house with an inventory searchable from a central board? Sure that'd be cool but then isn't that essentially just an Auction House? Why don't they just bring back the auction house. It was awesome.

And EDIT: I don't think NEARLY enough people have chimed in on this yet.
