Tasking characters are extremely annoying now. What used to be a quick 3-5 minute session before bedtime has now turned into an agonizing 20-30 minutes to task everything properly and with merit.
Something needs to be done about that, I suggest Quick-Task buttons which allow the user to task ALL characters NOT involved in a Quest Series with a Max-Time task (usually 24 hours) all delegated to a single button. This would probably cut my manual work by 60-75%.
Too many characters, too many manual tasks--even with the quick top left button that helped somewhat when it was added last year.
