Thanks for moving the thread. Just now realized I was in the wrong forums when I posted it. Was a bit too excited with the news, apparently.
And yeah, the changes are at least a start. It's better than what we have, which is absolutely zero organization. Just a complete and total mess of Retainers crowding the first few wards.
This should at least spread out the retainers so it's not so crowded and difficult to look through, and give it more organization. Of course you'll still have the occasional retainer full of junk in the armor ward, but, it won't be nearly as unforgiving as looking through 50 retainer's for a single piece of equipment, while the majority of just full of complete junk. Now it'l be the other way around. A lot of ward specific vendors, with a few junk vendors here and there.
Edit: Also, I just noticed they mentioned they're looking into ways to increase the amount of retainers one can have. Maybe that's hinting at allowing players to have two retainers without having to pay extra? That would solve the issue, and would make sense with the new changes. You would have one retainer for selling your expensive goods in the proper wards, and one you could just toss up in another with your miscellaneous junk.
