FFXIV does have quick synthesis, but it comes with some (intentional) limitations. You can't quicksynth collectibles, and the chance of getting HQ items is fairly low. It's mostly intended for mass-producing intermediate materials.
I Was thinking that at first too. Then I started making facet gear 2-3 peices at a time. I only farmed enough scripts for my current needs. It makes things way less daunting. Plus everything gets faster over time. Instead of farming all the scripts up front, each time I need more my gathering/crafting gear is better - so it goes faster.
