Can you please for the love of god, allow us to use materials for crafting, if we simply have them? No matter where. Retainer 1, 2, 3, saddlebag, who cares.
WE HAVE THE MATERIALS for crafting the thing. Let us use them.

I can't take anymore of this...
search for daily company crafting supply missions...
make a temporary list in the crafting log...
search for crafting methods item A, B, C, D, E...
Search for required materials to craft this thing A1, A2, A3, A4, A5
write it down OR TRY TO MEMORISE IT HELLO??!!
Repeat for items B, C, D, E...

It should be like this: only buy missing items from the market board and
BOOM START CRAFTING. No need to go fetch anything from anyone!
If I have it I god damn HAVE IT!

Or alternatively suffer getting mats individually per recipe:
Check materials needed...
search A1, A2, A3, barely can remember that much, which retainer has what...
close all windows, ding ding ding, hello master SHUT UP click click click the speech bubble away JUST SHOW ME YOUR BAGS ALREADY why do we have to suffer like this...
Take the things, close mouse click spam spam spam the speec bubbles away, esc esc...
great one too many esc or mouse clicks, opened up the menu or clicked something else on the retainer option menu... WHO DESIGNED THIS CRAP!??!?!
And then repeat for each item you trying to craft?!

I'm just a few weeks into the game, and I have to say I'm amazed by those who have done this for years. How? How do you not throw your pc out of the window after that much torture? My hands are literally shaking from rage how I wanna strangle this ultimate motherKUPO dogKUPO excuse of an UI...

Yes, YES, WOW IS A MILLION TIMES BETTER in this regard.
ONE BANK. CLICK: OPEN. ALL there.
And want to craft anything? JUST DO IT BOOM DONE.
No need to get anything. Items in your bank/material tab, all remotely usable.

This is absolute madness and it has to go ASAP.
I feel bad for people "just accepting it" because "it is what it is".
No it's not. It's a program made by people who can change it if they want.
So which one is the reason stopping them? Greed? Laziness? Incompetence? Or malice?

This is simply unacceptable having to go through 500 clicks and key hits to navigate something you can and should be able to do in 5 or less. FIGURATIVELY SPEAKING before anyone gets defensive on me for "addagging their pwessush gaem".
