@AnnaRose:
I know those maps, yet my point stands, some paths would simply kill you on auto path because the enemies are too high levelled. And using the maps for a safe route, as you suggested, must be done manually and contradicts the auto path idea.

Personal opinion: Since it would take as much time as running yourself, thus not saving time, I see it as a function for lazy people. Auto Run, which we currently havd, is enough.
