I totally agree with that. SE should take the feedback into consideration, they could add a different minigame or put in a system similar to the implementation of auto-attack. Crafting could possibly automatically use standard synth unless rapid/bold or other skills are used otherwise.

When a person looks at the crafting system, they think it's cool how you can craft so many different things - but why do you have to mash standard synth everytime then go through a convoluted UI to repeat the process? How can one sit through so many synths in one sitting?

That's the main reason people bot: because it's fucking boring. But they acknowledge the rewards of it.
People who don't bot get mad over this because they've put a lot of time into it compared to the botters but in the end both get the same reward.

Other than the threat of RMT (and legal issues), why is botting through crafting labelled a terrible sin in this game?
