1. If you want to have a private talk, find a phone. Remember, SE watch all of your conversation!
2. "Other games great. SE should be like that". Screw them. I dont play them
3. Walk back to quest issuer.. I dont exactly catch your problem here. Anima? Hamlet got us covered. Remember, we suppose to be role playing. And not all (part) of the quest make us back to issuer, sometime a message come to our pearl, and we continue from that point. Clearly you dont know this. Stop lazying and do more quest
4. Open mails where ever you want.. *ifrit charging hell fire* *a message pop up* *read message* *corpses*
