I think there are many that do large-scale world PvP in WoW that would beg to differ.

I've been running 15 toons on Sargeras Horde on the Timeless Isle, and I love it. Unfortunately, in WoD I think most of the action will be in Ashran. So, doable now but I think wpvp will be hard to find in a month and change.

Oh, I've played the shit out of Eve :) I think it's just way too hard to find fights. Finding people doing stupid things is easy, but leveraging that when running 20 toons is difficult.
not the Point or though it is a pvp zone there is none pvp stuff there. i can see the a lot of quests and even the god dam pvp gear vendors are there. so there saying you can do arena but not buy gear. the Legi quest will more then likely have parts here
ya i was removed for less then 24 hours. when they said in fact bots don't go arena. I can see this getting removed very very fast into the xpac now they got pug arena matches.
Ebony, could we the community get you to check every few days if the Soul Trader continues to work in Ashran? I know the tundra mammoth/two person mount will function fine for moving from spot to spot, but the Trader makes it so much easier to collect your people when dismounted.
Build 18922 still no follow
soul trader still works there, brew pup don't and mounts still work.
Build 18927 - no follow. soul-trader etc still works there.
just updating.
Thanks Ebony, I really appreciate it.
Thank you.
Build 18935 Still no follow, soul trader etc still working there.
(i know its not going to change but still.)
What do you mean? You don't think they'll remove the soul trader?
so after bugging him for weeks i got a replay

@JenniferCally /follow will remain disabled in Ashran. It didn't take long on beta to see it was going to be a problem.
this is not over botting this is 1000% hate to us.
Good they saw sense on it.. fun for boxers sure.. not so fun for a non boxer in a pvp situation.
So /follow is still gone?
okeydokey.
What's their (blizzard GMs) stance on you (boxer) getting around the /follow removal via methods in-game, say for instance the soul-trader (if it's still there) and interact with target etc etc. I mean I don't do BGs now but some people do, its all tolerated?
Nothing stops boxers from still going into ashran with all their characters. There is no report/afk kick functionality, it will be a cluster fuck after the first couple of weeks.
Edit: or you could play melee and everything is golden.
If they removed /follow because of boxers, and tons of boxers end up using the workarounds.. they might make an official stance against it. I will be playing a melee team for PvP this expansion, lets see what happens.
+1 (2 or 3) to running melee teams. Casters are fun, but too finnicky for me. Hat off to those that have the skills and patience to box casters in PvP.
Melee works fine in combat, but how are you going to group them back up afterwords? Just use IWT on targets to get them to go in the right direction?
Are you going to share? :)
i share all my info. with isboxer setup guides.

Ahhh I see. I thought you came up with a different workaround.
The brew pup doesn't work in Ashran though, right?
Really 3 is the max without worrying about follow or using a "pet" work around in bgs & ashran as melee, any more than 3 and it becomes a pita. 3 person mount becomes the shuttle service to fights in those areas without follow. In reality its only two instances without follow, its not a big deal once you get used to it.
I tested the druid travel form a bit yesterday and it looks really promising. Even if someone is already mounted on the druid, when you IWT with them you run to them. You can travel form in combat. Hitting an ability that requires you to be in stance while in travel form gives an error, so you don't have to worry about popping out while spamming your DPS button as you reposition yourself for a follow.
Edit:
No downside. You can try and mount someone who isn't in your group. You still IWT to them. Totally baller.
nice catch, druid also has many great supportive abilities for any 4 caster or melee team, that looks very promising
everybody starts using druids for follow, how long till blizzard nerfs that? I'ts extremely evident blizzard doesn't want multiboxing in pvp.
They could just remove IWT as well as follow in battlegrounds.
