Follow In Battlegrounds Broken After 5.2

[MiRai]

The follow command no longer seems to be working in Battlegrounds or Arenas, but still works in PvE instances, Arena, and the outside world.

EDIT: Confirmed working as intended - http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/8088199775

EDIT #94 - Bashiok responds to why follow was eliminated in BGs & Arena - http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/to...775?page=6#104

EDIT: Follow in Arena has been restored as of 3/19.

did you enable "load out of date addons"?

I was about to post the same thing. Works as normal outside of BG's. My follow macro doesn't work in BG's, nor does clicking on the drop down menu from a character icon. It gives the message "You can't follow that unit."

After some reports coming in on the #isboxer IRC channel I joined a battleground on my solo character, right-clicked another player's portrait, and clicked "Follow"

I received a "You cannot follow that unit" error message.

Yeah just got another report of that from some people on vent.
