Craft grinding gets tedious.. Needs more automation.

SW:TOR had a different take on this. Instead of crafting yourself you'd task your crew members with doing the crafting. Depending on the level of the item it might take anywhere between a few minutes to an hour, but you could do other things meanwhile. You could queue up to five items per crew member too. I forget if you could give them new tasks from anywhere or if you had to be on your ship for that. It was pretty good as far as simplistic crafting systems go, but FFXIV's is loads better.

Is it possible to level one of your Retainers as a weaver, for example, and assign them to generate the scripts for you?

SW:TOR did not have anything quite like the scrip system. You could have your crew craft endgame items which players would pay a pretty penny for, but IIRC those required materials from raids.
