I just automate these functions with MacroGoblin (my choice MMO botting software for writing scripts) however despite the immense amount of joy I get from writing scripts to automate functions for me, I can see how the retards out there who want to call me a villain would like to see this so they don't have to shake their fists at me watching me effortlessly mash through my crafting supplies, so this gets a big +1 for me, but if you automate it, the process should be slower than if you actually sat there and clicked on it manually. I think its a nice trade-off to being able to walk away and make a sandwich while the craft system automates for you.
