3. Remote Tasks. Wouldn't it be great to sit down at your computer and just worry about bonking mosters, exploring the countryside, or doing an exciting levequest? Wouldn't it be nice to get all your crafting done at other times like lunch breaks, in the bathroom (admit it!), or on a car ride (don't craft and drive, folks). Remote tasks would allow you to craft, buy/sell from the AH, raise/breed a chocobo, or even gather (more on that below) during your down time so you don't have to feel like you are "wasting time" in-game staring at a glowing ball for hours. This could also help facilitate Free Company storage/distribution.
This sounds to me like asking for a legal bot.
