Project 2013 No Server, No Sharepoint, Updating Tasks From Assigned Resources Through Email

Question

Ok,
I have searched high and low for this type of information and Im surprised after all these years that no one has asked or requested this type of information?
I am a consultant, with my own version of Project 2013 to track how I run Projects.  This is the tool I use.  So this being the case it makes no sense for me to spend millions of dollars for Project Server.  I am just one person useing this
as my tool of choice.
My issues are:
I create and assign a task to a resource with a name and an email address.
I litterally have thousands of tasks with hundreds of assigned resources (People) with an email address.
I need to update weekly all my task!!!  The entire point of using Project 2013 as a tool!
However it appears Microsoft needs to make this very dificult to do. If I have to manually email all these people with task and manually ask them for an update, then manually update all these task then whats the point of even bothering using Micrsofts Project
2013?  It is useless.
I need a way to automate these updates without having a Server.
The Question no one seems to be asking is this?
Is there a way to update task through email, (Outlook), Why cant I send emails with a table of tasks assinged, request update in the task table, then the assigned resource sends me back the email with thier updates and I can automatically update my Project
Task?
Am I the only one who has asked this or thought of this?  Or are my expectations to high? I cant figure how Microsoft could ever expect a single user of Project even with only one project with 50 to 100 task listed to have to get on the phone or emal
every single person manually, and manually update every single task every single week? I have used other Project type apps and they all have a way of sending emails out to assigned people to get task updates automatically.  Only Project doesnt! 
Why?

Answer 1

Thanks Prasanna,
Really for the amount of money I have to pay for a Product that should have some way to update tasks.
Think about this for minute.  I believe Project 2007 was able to do this ,,,, that made sense.... 
Really ponder this question:  What is the purpose of Microsoft Project for a single user?  Does anyone ask these questions prior to development?
The reason for Project to exist is to TRACK TASK!  THATS IT! Why would anyone want to track any type of task, hundreds of task MANUALLY?  It does me no good for me to be the only one tracking task.  It does me no good for me to be the only
one looking at the task schedule.  Great, so IM THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS WHATS GOING ON? 
So I ask this question.
If this is the case then what is the point of tracking anything if it cant be shared or updated in some way or another?  Microsoft Project is useless as a single use product!
Here is the kicker....
I can purchase Outlook for a lot less, I can track any and all task, assign task to anyone with an email, I can assign and schedule task through Outlook and place an alert, set it as an appointment through the Calendar, change and assign start and end dates,
and get updates through email on any task, calendar, anything.... Why then would I waste ANYTIME OR MONEY ON A USELESS TASK TRACKING PRODUCT LIKE PROJECT?  It does not do anything?  Outlook does a thousand times more than Microsoft Project! 
Does that make any sense to anybody?  All Microsoft Project really is... is a stripped down Calendar/Task from Outlook with no ability to email, or communicate in any way shape or form with other people who are assigned the work.  What ends up happening
is Microsoft expects single users to purchase Project Server?  Are you crazy?  This is the single reason why Project does not sale!  If Microsoft would go back to sales metrics of Project 2007 they would see a decline till now that will reflect
this problem.  Its really a simple fix.  Sales would triple.  Until there is a solution it makes way more sense for me to use Outlook, schedule work task on others calendars and have them send me an update weekly through an automated spreadsheet
through Outlook.  From there all the reports exist in Excel.  Why do I need Project anymore?  BTW  I have been a MS Project user since its inception....  SO IM not new to it... what a terrible waste of time, resources, and lack of
vision for just a simple powerful addin that was removed after 2007.  Single users like myself will never purchase Project Server just so we can send emails with assigned task for an update,,, silly?
