      When i'm quest botting and my character goes to hand a quest in, he will hand a quest in and when the next quest pops up he won't accept it, then when the window closes he'll re-open it again and then accept it. Is this a bug or something?

      This is normal Honorbuddy behavior.

      If the NPC offers a follow-on quest at the <TurnIn>, Honorbuddy just closes the window. Then, if the profile instructs Honorbuddy to <PickUp> the next quest, Honorbuddy interacts with the NPC to pick up the quest that the NPC previously offered.

      This is just how Honorbuddy works. To be honest, this design has always made me very uncomfortable, as its an incredibly easy way to detect bots WoWserver-side, if Blizzard was so inclined.

      It would be one thing for a human to close the offered-follow up on occasion, then re-open the NPC to take it. But to do it every time--that's just a bot.

      There are a dozen or so easily-detectable 'fingerprints' similar to this that Honorbuddy leaves. These fingerprints make me uncomfortable. Being server-side detection, there's no way the Buddy team can confirm they are or are not looked for. Alas, we've no choice but to live with them.

      It may be these types of things that Trion looks for in Ryft so aggressively. Thankfully, Blizzard seems to be a bit more nonchalant.


      cheers,
