Infinite loop of talking to NPC, exiting, then talking again..

[delcats]

Hey guys,
Just started using HB again today after a few months without it and i'm a little confused here. I got the KazQuest 1-60 Human Alliance Bot and made a Draenei paladin and ran it over to Northshire.
Whenever i start the bot, he runs over to the quest giver and then just goes into an infinite loop of opening and closing the window.
I'm assuming this has something to do with something at my end because as far as i can tell by other people's comment this bot works fairly well.

If you look at the status window you will see what it's trying to do, if the quest doesn't exist on the NPC then it could be that your level or quest progression doesn't match what the profile is trying to do.

^This^ is exactly the problem. Many of the starter quests are race-specific, but many profiles don't guard against such. This is somewhat understandable as WoWHead is spotty in documenting the race or sex requirements for these quests. Nuok's and Kick's typically do guard against such problems--they seem to be very well tested.

If you wish to continue using the profile you have, you'll have to comment out these troublesome starter quests. Just be careful you don't comment out something that starts a chain that opens things later.

Writing quest profiles correctly is a serious undertaking. Getting the niggles right for all races, classes, and sexes is very difficult.
