Seriously. First we find out that the Blacksmith, the Magical Items Vendor, and a Jeweler are all going to be following us around instead of being citizens of the towns we're visiting. Now we find out we're getting followers who go with us from town to town instead of us hiring local mercenaries? Add Deckard (and/or Leah probably) and we've got 7-8 people built into our camp. Are we even going to have towns in some areas? We've got a full entourage.
Not that I'm complaining. I fully intend on putting these people to work. I just find it interesting.
So here's the question: are we getting any more? Or do we have enough. If we do get more, who would they be and what would they be doing? A bard or minstrel who will sing and/or tell stories of your heroic deeds and make you famous (possibly you could get the chance to hear some of the stories about the quests you undertook, possibly with a wee bit o' embellishment)? A Healer who will patch you and/or your follower up when you get back into camp? A gambler (think Wirt)? A wench? The male equivalent thereof? A page who will follow you around and then run back to town to sell you junk items? A Quartermaster who is in charge of your stash?
I want a Bounty Hunter that WE work for. He asks for us to go find a monster (that summons after the dialogue) and then we have to kill it and bring back something to claim a reward. But the Bounty Hunter would be an end game mechanic, with the summoned monsters being the equivalent to Uber Diablo, or Chaos Tristram.

I really like this and feel like it could be one ways they would work the end game. The thing I like most about it is that it could be completely random which monster spawns. That way you can't prepare before hand by bringing a class that works best for the encounter like the smiter was for ubers in d2.
IIRC (and I'm almost positive I heard something like this), one of the examples of "random quests/encounters" we got during Blizzcon was someone who asks you to go out and kill certain demons. I don't know if thats a general "Kill 10 Fallen" or a quest where you kill a specific demon, but they have said that they generally want to avoid general grinding, which would seem to contradict a quest where you have to kill a certain amount of a demon. Not to mention that if the quest was to kill a specific monster, that would probably involve you killing plenty of other monsters anyways.
As for the question in the topic, yes, I do think we'll get more people working for us. Both the followers and Artisans have been described as part of the caravan that follows the hero from town to town, and I doubt they'd refer to it as that if it was just two groups of people. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that the caravan contains more people.
Well if their is an auction house type system, their could be a trader style character to access this system. (Could also be used outside of a game probably)
Maybe a gypsy type person or a greasy used weapon salesman

Oh I have no idea, but that trader sounds like it would make sense. I'm just assuming they didn't make up the whole concept of the caravan for two groups of people. That would just seem pretty meh.
I think it will just be the caravan for most parts of the game, but I think there will be certain parts where your caravan gets to a major city. There should be other NPCs in those cities you can talk to, but I'm not sure if they will have any exclusive services. Probably not just because Blizzard doesn't want players to have to travel far to access special services.

Thoughts anyone?
So 2 more.
Bard sounds nice though, and I'm frikkin' all about wenches!

(Puting = present progressive form of put. Putting = golf term.)
It's "putting" for both. "Puting" is not a word.
