Retainer, exit from them...

I may not have been playing for more than a few weeks, but the crap retainer exit is a pain in the azz to say the least.

lets say in in the storage, i need to exit, i then have to go trug a whole line of shit before i'm out.

ESC - I get the menu
ESC - i get a Dialog ? (WTF why is it even there?)
Mouse click - Yep need to click the mouse to get rid of the retainer shit "talk"
ESC - To finally exit off the retainer.

The QUIT at the bottom, of the Retainer list stuff, its not quitting, it just land you at the "talk" then at the retainer list. Just way to much clicking and shit like that, to get around.

Why the heck even all this shit? Same when you want to go to the retainer storage.

Click the Bell (This is ok)
Click the Retainer (This is ok)
Click - have to click again to get the shit retainer message why the hell is it there?
Click the Retainer Entrust or Withdraw items.

It is really just bad design, and all the "talk" in between is just crap and should be removed, or giving an option to NOT SHOW AGAIN..

There simply needs to be a fast exit, since when i craft (yeah i'm leveling them all atm), i have to go back and forth all the times, and since they sux at this UI shit, you cant have the crafting log open while looking in your retainer, you may forget the name of an item, and have to go out again to figure out what retainer of the xxxxxxx i have bought, was it again that had that item, and what was the name of it... so its a fucking lot of clicking all the damn time, and all for nothing, other than annoyance. It can be done so much better, just at least start with having the Crafting Log staying on the screen while browsing the retainers.

Its not that im the only one that think this is annoying as hell, and the game is not really new, so why is this then a thing still, and not been red designed already 2 days after launch of the game...

key word is User friendly interface, and there are many things i see that they really should improve, and dont come with cant be done, not possible bs. ofc it can.

It was just redesigned, when 5.0 released, after years of being even worse. Why that redesign didn't include moving the retainers' dialog to overhead flavor text like we'd been asking them to, I have no idea.

Agree with OP. All multi-level menus need a fast exit, either with a button, or just walk away. This business of having to close every window one at a time in reverse order (with extra dialog) is a major waste of time.
