I have the settings marked to gather herbs and skin mobs and I have the requisite skill level for the nodes/mobs in my area but after killing a mob the bot just ignores it and it also doesn't seek out herbs to harvest.
I have no addons running and I tried setting the latency setting to 500 as i saw in another post.
edit: I've managed to get skinning to work by setting it to 800-1000 latency.
