Not lobbying for an extension, but do want to add that i've had that mysterious advancing stopping thing happen a few times as well. Come back to game and find auto-advance off but everything else as it should be with no chance that the crusaders stalled - yet it's further along than when i left, so it wasn't just an instance of forgetting to turn on auto-advance in the first place.
Was that just on Farmer Wrestling, or was that on dungeons as well?
