The Smuggler's Run events will be come simmable once CG adds something to the game that requires even more of your time. Conquest was the reason given for why the assault battles are now simmable.
Also, CG saved everyone time by removing one of the raids. We used to be able to sim two of them (Rancor & Tank) and have to run two manually, Sith & CPIT. Now, we only have a single raid to run manually (even if the bike raid is mostly done on auto).
All that say, be careful what you wish for.
