I have near the opposite issue with this game. There are things that just waste time, sure. Auto-bronzium opening would be a good idea as that is just tedious, they gave auto for the challenges.
I often finish the daily stuff in half an hour or so of reset. Due to nature of game there is then little to do for 24 hours unless in raid or something. Couple of attacks every couple of hours but they take little time. It is not a game you can just play all the time, most of it there is nothing to do. I would prefer something more time consuming but maybe smaller rewards each time to offset but could login and always have something useful to do.
Oh well, different strokes I suppose.....
