Bounty Hunter quest is badly designed

But it doesn't.

Multi-Sim, Sim. Collect Rewards.
Battle, Select Ally, Battle, Auto. Collect Rewards.

One takes 2 more screen touches and about 30 seconds to 1 minute of the game playing itself.

It's not like the game is manually asking you to play 8 levels of a mythic event on manual and 1x.

As others have pointed out, In a lot of cases arena and GW and events and challenges all count. Some of that stuff you can't sim anyways. Just playing the game the way you are now will get you there eventually, unless you somehow actively avoid ANY content that can't be 100% simmed.

If it's really important to get these done today, or tomorrow, or this week - well I guess the sim button is out.

Otherwise, keep playing the way you are and you'll get there anyways.
