Using an external program to automate this process would be illegal under the ToS so I made an addon with carbine's own API that does it for you. It's even faster than AHK/AutoIt bot could ever be!
I'm guessing there's still a grid or circuit board involved then? For anything that doesn't have the extra interactive bit you can use this: http://www.curse.com/ws-addons/wildstar/220424-hephaestus

Eventually he plans to make it able to do the basic grid ones though (not trying to hit any targets, I assume).

Has the game been crash-happy for anyone else lately? The engine loads up when I log my character in, but then, invariably:
Plenty of people. There never seems to be any response on the scores of bug report threads about Application Error 6714 either. Judging by the problem I've had and the problems others have had it could be just about any reason to crash that gives that error. Open a support ticket but you're gonna have to babysit it once a day for quite a while to even get past the "give me a Hijack This log" "give me your system specs with this" etc. and they never did actually read the crash log I sent them. You can find those in an Errors folder in your install path by the way (eg. Program Files\NCSOFT\WildStar\Errors). Mine turned out to be some sort of problem with the built in MarketplaceListings addon where literally anyone filling my orders while that module is loaded would get me a "Function: OnCommodityAuctionUpdated" error. I never even found anyone else even posting about that error until I checked just now.

Scientists also get more stuff in the left tab of the lore panel that nobody pays attention to. Various descriptions of creatures and so on end up with comments written by scanbot itself about how it's totally not going to hover around you patiently and murder you in your sleep. Really I can't normally stomach all the lore in something like Elder Scrolls but here in Wildstar it's where like half the jokes are. Since it's a Teen game you'll find a lot of the adult references are hidden in places like that, as well as achievement names ("It Gets the Hose Again" is my favorite so far).

If you're having issues with hitting 50 after getting 49 because you ran out of quests or want quicker quests to do. Check out the dailys at 49. Towellee (famous twitch sperg) said he did 49-50 in 30 minutes with five other people doing the daily hub.

Does Malgrave only have a handful of Dominion quest hubs? I have every quest achievement completed but there's a lot of the map with nothing in it.

I'm 46 heading into Grimvault, and looking at a list of quests in the zone I'm concerned they aren't going to be enough to hit 50. I've done every single possible quest save glitched ones up to this point.

Can anyone give me some optimization advice? Everything hovers around 20-30 fps which is playable, but I want to see if I can make things better. I have:

Intel Core i7 920 (2.67 Ghz)
9 GB of RAM
Geforce GTX 560 Ti

I am pretty sure the CPU is the bottleneck at this point.

Games gonna run like poo poo in certain areas, even if you upgrade. I'd say sit tight and wait and see if they fix it.

That's really disappointing to hear. While I have run out of quests for a level a few times, I have to say this is one of the most well-paced MMO's I've tried in a long time. I'm 3/4 through 41 right now and all 2 of my quests in Malgrave are 42, so I'm hitting the BG's first... Speaking of which, where do you spend Prestige?

I like how those pack kurgs/not-kodos don't actually have a walking animation. They just slide around on rails with legs stationary while their pack on top wobbles like crazy to simulate an actual walking effort to a third person observer if you're being given a quest related kurg ride. :allears:

Having the player trapped on a non-interactive rail section doesn't mean they might move the camera and notice this, right? :effort:

I'm the type of pony everypony should know
I dislike world pvp but I play with the goons on Warbringer. I noticed after Whitevale, there are less groups of exiles running around ganking people. I find most people will leave you alone if you leave them alone even sharing quest mobs and trying not to hit each other with telegraphs. If you see more than one exile then you should start feeling wary because they will suddenly get a surge of confidence and attack you. I'm level 37 and so far I've died less than 5 times to other players, and been attacked less than 10 times. Its really not that bad it sort of distracts you from the monotony of questing and you get this rush after beating that dumb exile that tried to poke you while you were busy with a mob. I may be ahead of the curve though so it might be worse at the lower levels.

The one time I've been attacked while questing, it was a Medic who tried to disengage after she realized she didn't have a heal slotted and I just started owning her.

Ain't no thing like me, 'cept me.
I've been attacked twice, both times by stalkers. The first time was when I was fighting a pack of mobs and a friendly pubbie medic came over and helped me out. :3:
The other time was some stalker who kept trying to kill people around the squirg zombie area in Whitefall and just ran away if a fight wasn't going his way. He stopped trying that after I put my bruiser bot away for the diminisher bot and snared him before he could run.

All the other times, I've been passed by even when there were multiple exiles around and I wouldn't have been able to run, much less fight.

It's like Guild Wars 2 where it's added to your pool of usable dyes. It costs money to apply them though.

Eating a dye gives you the ability to use it whenever you want at the costume NPCs. It's also account wide, you can claim the dye on every character you make.

Say nothing, stealth past mobs, get mad when more visible party members get stuck fighting something while the invisible tank ran ahead. Although that advice might apply more to adventures.
