There's a lot of unnecessary ui clicking for whatever bloody reason. My biggest peeve with this game? Windows you already have open being closed when accessing something else (like retainers), but reopening when leaving whatever you accessed.

Just. Leave. Them. Open. If I wanted them closed, I would have closed them to begin with! I like having my craft window open so I can double check things, and temporarily closing them means yet another unnecessary click in a game that already has far too many. Ugh...
