The devs have stated that they regret having tied the retinue mechanic to a DLC, as it has grown to become something that vastly alters the balance of the game. So, why not just seperate it from the DLC? Because it would greatly decrease the value of the LoR DLC, and could easily anger those that have spent money for that content.
I think there is a fair solution to this: remove the DLC requirement for retinues, and add in some new content that would be exclusive to the DLC to replace it. That way, the devs could more easily expand or rebalance the retinues into a solid standing army mechanic, and owners of the DLC would still have roughly the same amount of DLC exclusive content.
So, I ask all of you, what addition or combination of additions do you think would be appropriate as a replacement for the retinue mechanic as LoR exclusive content? I'm hoping that if we can come to something approaching a consensus, I could post it in the bug forum as an enhancement request.
