Can we get the ability for repeatable ventures?

[Kogekigami]

So recently with things like ishgard restoration and helping out the fc to prep buffs and airships/subs i've been finding the need to farm alot of mats from things like monster kills or gathering nodes. Which is fine this is what retainers are for so i can do my roulettes and such.

But I find it annoying there is no way to get my retainer to repeat it action automatically so when im at work or sleeping its still doing the collecting like requested. Is it so hard for me to be able to pay it say 10 hours worth of hunting ventures and come back to a stock pile of items to collect off them. If you send them exploring they go for 18 hours so why can't we have similar for hunting even if its capped at 10 hours compared to the 18?

is this an unreasonable request?

It would actually be incredible to pre-pay your retainers X Ventures (to a cap) and have them do things for ya while you're away.

It sounds like the sort of thing they'd only let you refresh by spending kupo nuts in the mobile app... which honestly - if you're already paying for extra retainers it should be free.

While this would be great...There is a reason they wouldn't allow you to do this. Simply put, they WANT you to log on every hour to re-issue your ventures, it keeps you subbing to the game. Its the same reason the long ventures are 18 hours - Too long to complete between when you go sleep and wake up, but too short to just do it every day, the game wants you logged in at all times.

I think they'd get more people using their app if they let you refresh your retainers for free. Squadrons for ever bigger bonus. I think they could (are) encourage purchasing nuts in other, better, ways, like managing the market I think is a big one and honestly probably a good thing it takes nuts (because phone apps makes making a bot for the market even easier).

Perhaps to prevent it becoming like a "must check my phone every hour on the hour for the rest of my life" feeling it could be a special venture that's like 2-8 hours long (perhaps costs like 4 venture tokens). Has a higher chance to bring back valuables, but obviously runs slower (meaning 1 hour over a large data sample would be more rewarding but if you only ran these seldom actually the moogle venture is pretty decent, and doesn't make you feel like you have to check your fun like a cheap mobile game).

There might be some ways to make it "feel" better but still at the end I think it'd add a lot of value to the app if it was free. Maybe for those who subscribe to their kupo token thing the extra value is it doesn't cost them venture tokens, or something (only 2 instead of 4, whatever- I just don't think it'd feel very warm this company is 'awesome' / 'for the gamers' if they charged nuts for a basic venture). Perhaps if spending a (1) nut unlocked the feature for the whole day.

Would also like to be able to water, or at least "save", the garden. Especially helpful when you travel, luckily I've someone to help but sometimes it's like trying to get someone to watch your cats lol. I've been meaning to make an app post though so I suppose I'll stop tangenting XD.
