Too many clicks!

[SamSmoot]

Retainer interface, starting at the initial menu. Refresh venture.
Eight clicks, but it would only be four if I didn't have to clear the NPC dialogs every time.
I wish we had an option to not display NPC text after, perhaps the 5th time it's been displayed.

Literally unplayable.

I do kind of wish that I could just confirm all my Retainers' Ventures at once and then send them back out (I always have them on Quick Exploration).

[Macleod]

Yeah, they tried to "improve" the retainer interface this expansion, but only made it more tedious.

Please yoshi, stop doing that one useless dungeon you give us each patch and do this instead!

[MistyMew]

it is rather annoying though ff in general is famous for over clicking and bizarre menus, is the same in ffxi. they do need to learn to streamline ffrom the get go. not wait 5 years then try to fix an obvious overkill bad design.

This game is good for testing and training your patience

There is a slew of QoL improvements they could make.
- Give me a button to move items from my inventory to my retainer if they are already holding it, so I don't have to search for EVERY.SINGLE.THING.
- Allow me to craft directly from retainers' inventory. Why do I have to have it ON my character? Other MMOs do this, even SWTOR and that is some slop coding with that poor game.
- Let me lock my hotbars (not just the buttons) so I don't accidentally move them. How hard is that?
- Yes, cut back on the retainer talk. They go make money and get things. I don't need to talk to them to make it happen, they know what to do.
- Instanced housing (done right! Not quick and dirty).

The list goes on and on. Yeah, it's a wishlist and won't be done overnight, we all know that. They could at least think about doing QoL things and tell us that's at least 'a plan'.

It's really awful tbh.

Lmao I regularly find myself like “Freeee meee!!!” when I’m scrambling to get out of my retainer to go commence my popped q.

It’s a step up from the previous way of summoning retainers, I’m just still muscle memory locked into the old ways.
