Retainers and lootbox gambling

They're mainly there for extra storage, which is a luxury more than a necessity.

If you are into crafting, it is very hard to only have 2 retainers. They also keep adding currencies to the game which fills up extra inventory space too. I created alts to get more retainers for storage.

Currencies have little to no impact. If you're talking about things like trial totems, that's a focus issue. Handle them one at a time and there's no storage problem to be had.

I'm into crafting and I had one extra retainer for a couple months as I got myself up to speed. I fish and I've never had an issue with storage as I focused on each region.

Someone will inevitably bring up dyes to which I'll respond that I keep pigments on hand and have all the tribes unlocked.

this is me lol, I have 5 retainers and their inventories are all maxed out with crafting mats, random currencies/totems, and housing items since I ran out of space in my house storage.
