Auto-thank players who buff you, then buff them right back with one click. Random thank-yous, a "most generous" scoreboard, and a popup that looks great.

Description
BuffYaBack - say thanks, buff back
We all hate that feeling when you get buffed and want to buff someone back and by the time you click it they are out of range. Well if someone just buffed you, BuffYaBack takes care of the manners:
- It thanks them - a targeted emote the moment the buff lands (and optionally a whispered thank-you).
- A popup appears with the spell icon, the buffer's name in their class colour, and a countdown bar.
- One click (or one hotkey) and you buff them right back.
No setup needed. It loads small, stays quiet, and only acts when someone actually buffs you.
Features
- Random thank-yous - rotates between several emotes so you don't sound like a robot, plus an optional whispered line.
- One-click buff back - click anywhere on the popup, or press the hotkey (default ALT-B, changeable).
- Smart skipping - if they already have the buff you'd give them, no popup. It tries your other buffs first.
- Every class welcome - classes without a buff to give get a "cheer back" popup instead (can be switched off).
- Most Generous scoreboard - see who buffs you the most, all-time and per session, and how often you returned the favour.
- Solo / Party / Raid switches - turn it on or off for each situation.
- Finds the buffer even when the game hides it - watches casts, narrows it down by class, and briefly peeks at nearby players if it has to.
- Hover to keep it open - the countdown pauses while your mouse is on the popup. Drag it wherever you like.

Good to know
- Buff names are matched in English at the moment.
- The popup waits until you leave combat, because the game doesn't allow changing a click-to-cast button mid-fight.
- If nobody can be identified (for example, several players of the same class nearby), you get a general thank-you and a popup that casts on your current target.
- Your scoreboard is saved between sessions and trimmed to your top 300 buffers.
Found a bug?
Please open a ticket and include the output of /bya last after the problem happens, your class, and whether you were solo, in a party or in a raid.
