I'm a bit confused here. I was under the impression that we have access to two free retainers (which I'm sure most of us have, right?), and then if you wanted to have more retainers, it would cost $2 extra a month for each one past the first two that you have. Is this incorrect?
You will still have your two existing retainers included in your current base subscription but you're right that you will have to pay for any additional.
I don't see how this is a bother to anyone then. Don't pay for them if you don't want to, simply as that. That's the route I'm choosing, and I sure as hell am not going to complain that others might want to have extra space. Extra inventory space does not seem to give any unfair advantages to those that do choose to pay, so I don't see what the problem is.
Being able to send all your retainers out on separate ventures is definitely an advantage, but honestly I'm the type of person who doesn't even log in every day so I'm not too upset about it. Even though I COULD afford the extra retainers, I'm not going to bother. I don't hoard useless things.
I will never beat the latest and greatest in this game. I will never have the biggest house or the most pimped out character with all the relics.
And that's okay. I play this game to have fun, not to work. Others can spend 5-6 hours a day (or more) in the game and milk it for every second of content. I have a job and other hobbies that I enjoy, too, and I won't sacrifice the time I spend on those things for a video game.
I'm more annoyed that others have caught onto my money making scheme and I'm not churning out 100K/day like I was at its height.
I like our FC's little house just fine =) Glad we bought it.
I always wondered how you were making all that money. I capitalized on the glamours, low level crafting materia, and gathering materia, and it has made me some cash (prior to when they tanked). You would be surprised what people used to pay for a glamour dispeller =p.
But I bought the retainers and have worked hard to level them to 50 with the first 1% of the populous. They can farm boarskin now, that's pretty cool. It seems that I am always one day ahead of the price tank, even at lvl 33. The market is being flooded with supply now, and completely destroys some markets, but all in all the low level crafters should rejoice =)
I will never be first to beat the new coil, or first to beat any of the ex primals. I dont have the kind of time that those require. And by time I mean focused time. I have things to do in rl, so I idile my guy a lot. But the coil stuff takes dedicated teams, people on headsets in teamspeak or mumble, and we just dont have a full group yet that is able to do that. I personally wish we were all on PS4 so we could organize that way. I can't get on the headset or chat full time like I used to anyway. I've gotten used to beating titan ex with my wife and kid both asking me questions in the background. And my priority is always wife > kid > game. But as an FC we all bring something important to the table and that is the best thing =). We do have some excellent folks!
