Automatic currency spammer costing gold (in Kingsmarch if it goes core)

Asynchronous currency exchange was always at the top of the list for "nice things we can't have because of hideout warriors (bots)"

But now that untradable gold has been shown to solve that issue, we can start going down the list, here is my suggestion:

Automatic currency spammer
Give it an item, 1000 alts, and a stopping condition and it will spam the alts until it hits or runs out of alts, costing gold for every roll
It could also have an option to increase the speed at which it rolls at a higher cost per roll
The stopping conditions could be the same as the filters in the trade site
Ideally, it would also be able to roll fossils and use harvest crafts

========================================================================

Having to spam currencies is the most annoying way to craft, but it's necessary for almost every craft. With an auto-roller, we could leave the tedious part of crafting to the Kingsmarch and go map/boss/whatever while we wait

This would make crafting much more accessible to players who aren't willing to spend hours of their lives mindlessly spamming left-click until a regex lights up (alt spamming is hell)

Also, it would be another gold sink

If the Kingsmarch goes core, it could be an actual auto-crafter that allows for more complexity as its level increases:
I'm thinking something like a finite-state machine, where each state corresponds to the currency used
The number of states and the options for the conditions could increase with the auto-crafter level

Finally, making crafting more accessible could be great for build diversity, since good items for unpopular builds usually have massive markups on the trade site or don't even exist there

For example, for the build I'm playing, I really wanted ES+evasion gloves with elevated +1 max frenzy and non-vaal strike additional enemies, but there are none on the trade site

I didn't mind rolling them myself too much, but I think most players would just not upgrade their gloves over spamming well over a thousand alts

(or use the suboptimal spiked gloves with aspect of the cat and life that you CAN find on the trade site)

+1 million

Would love this for all the boring crafts that require a specific prefix/suffix to be alteration-spammed. We already have guaranteed 6-socket and 6-link on our crafting bench, this would just be the next logical step. And obviously not having to click 5000 times would be amazing too.

This would actually open up crafting and make it easier for a wider range of players, and that would be great for the game and for the economy since more items would be up for sale. Or you could just make your own. And upgrading this auto-crafter for more complex crafts seems like a fun idea too, because the alternative of looking through spreadsheets and 40-minute crafting videos outside of the game itself isn't very good atm lol(not to mention needing 3rd party tools to simulate crafts and so on). Fits with the whole "afk/automation" theme of the town anyway.
Absolutely not.
