Sorry, but to me this is just short of asking the devs to write what is the equivalent to a bot so a player can skip parts of the game mechanic. I will pass it along though
lol, I think maybe that could be,
just short of it perhaps like you say. But I also agree with the m/p thing to, getting an AID button essentially usurped the time it took to go to each players city to m/p them. As a recurring quester myself on live I can tell you I was very happy to see the confirmation to abort quest window go away and the new quest window worked out fine in the end once they sped it up however this to me went about 75% of the way there with essentially doing the same thing as Aiding i.e. it took away some of the tediousness out of the process. I suppose one could also say the same of autobattle, that's just short of scripting to, if by scripting we mean to say the user has things done automatically.
To add I have seen comments by other recurring questers for quite some time asking for the ability to choose which quests they want to do and omit the others without going through the abort process of quests they will never do, one would still have to collect from the building then collect the quest, repeat until all buildings and quests are collected then set all productions again so scripting to me would mean auto collect and complete quests with the push of one button, sort of like Aiding
whereas this is merely asking to remove the last pointless aspect to recurring quests. You guys have already given us the option to not see the abort confirmation window, I don't think another window selecting which recurring quests we want to do is out of the realm.
As for my personal experience regarding this slight delay, at first it was horrible because it was obvious something had changed, I wasn't quite sure what but I couldn't collect and cycle as usual but then I realized collecting/aborting from the top quest rather than the bottom worked just fine but I have three questgivers I'm cycling through because I'm at the endgame so I don't even notice the delay, if someone is not and they are cycling through one questgiver that slight delay can be aggravating as heck and I can sympathize.
Oh yeah and just to compare it takes me like a half hour to do my recurring quests, if I had the ability to omit the recurring quests I never do that would take some time off and it would be a blessing and I would be grateful but doubt it would be so significant as to be considered scripting, rather just a little quicker, aiding my friends and guildies goes much much faster than recurring questing.
