Retainer Level?

[Rukkirii]

I have a small update regarding retainer levels to share with you.

Based on the feedback we collected in the past, the dev. team is looking to implement different features for your retainer as they level up. For example, we are looking into allowing retainers to perform chores, such as gathering.

As soon as we receive detailed information on leveling up your friendly caretakers and the tasks that they will be able to perform at certain levels, we will be sure to let you know!

What kind of gathering? I wouldn't mind if my retainer tended plants in my house, since I hated gardening in XI. Maybe the retainer can have an upgrade allowing us to change their default clothing?

That's pretty cool you can make your retainer gather for you, I tried mining and it was pretty boring. Thumbs up for this new feature.

Every time I logged in, I'd be offered a grind party to level some DoW class I didn't care about (all of them). I always chose gathering over grinding, 'cause grinding was a chore. Can I have my retainer grind my character when I'm offline please? It's a chore afterall.

To the people saying that they will just come back with random garbage... what good does that do anybody? If you sent your retainer out for the night, and came back in the morning and all that had happened was you are now -5 inventory slots until you npc the trash, would you send them out again? Just gathering what people gather anyway runs into the problems of either it is pointless, or it is too good. Either way, people complain, hell even if they strike a good balance people will complain.

So why not try and make the system more interesting by having them do something players don't already do better.

because it would help out RMT and the market would be full of stuff and everyone would undercut and not one would make any gil. It should be where it come with junk and sometime good stuff but not always that the point. The retainer getting item should just help you get enough gil to get you by not make you rich.

That doesnt make any sense at all...

Er, okay, that'll please the botters and RMT in general, with this feature they wouldn't need to actually use their bots.
