    Retainers Will Gather For You in ARR

    Yep, no point in ever wielding the old hatchet any more. Why go out and gather items if your good ol' retainer will do it for you and then go back and sell it for you.

    There had better be some restrictions on this.

    Pretty sure they won't bring back as much as you would, going on your own.
    Probably would take longer to raise retainers gathering level to get items from certain areas but could implement where they find special items you normally can't find or something to make it interesting.

    I find the very idea of my gather items competing with what NPCs do in the marketplace distasteful. NPCs should be that. NON-playing characters.

    It's making botting legal.

    Reinheart I would like you to communicate this message on the JP forums. I know it's kinda obnoxious for me to ask this. But I feel very strongly about it.

    I was going to post my own idea about having my own store like Dragon Quest 4 Torneko (sp?) characters store so I added your concern on the post as well. So far no one else brought up your issue, just one after rep post saying it would be nice for retainer to gather shards since it looks like in ARR we'll need much more. But that's it for now, no other posts about this specific one.

    A retainer should NEVER be able to gather anything HQ at the very least.

    See, I quite like this... it'd be nice to not worry about shards ("crafting currency") as much. Hopefully they'll be the only things that retainers can harvest.

    Thank you so much Reinheart. Really.

    The only way I could tolerate any gathering by NPCs is if what they find is Rare/Ex. NOCs should never be allowed any participation in the marketplace under any circumstances.

    They should not be spidering seach results for deals. They should not be crafting.
