You should really consider putting those in a binder or something... it's just... I mean... swimming around in them can't be good.
Missing an AH was definitely one of the more questionable decisions about 1.0. It was an obvious flaw to begin with, but earlier today it made me think...
What was the vision?
Seriously, what was Tanaka envisioning there? How did the rooms full of retainers selling random garbage work in his mind? It must have worked somehow right? I mean, he did that on purpose. So how did he intend for that to work?
The same way having a smithy in battle parties to pour potions on metal based monsters to weaken them works. It doesn't. I think havin them as a bazaar works but I can't imagine how they were ever meant to completely take the place of a full AH.
