They said the stealth nerf was to catch bots. However it is convenient that it was also not announced during the game box sale. They know that most of their sales are people buying for multiple accounts. How interesting that the sale ended just prior to the patch coming out along with this nerf. It's really a cheap and sneaky thing to do.
@Ghostcrawler With the recent post about putting /follow back into Arenas is there an estimated time for that change for multi-boxers.
So tweet sent... and of course not expecting any returns or discussion from them at all
I started boxing a month ago so they wont give me a refund on the all the accounts, keys ect so I am just going to farm gold and sell it to Asians to make up the loss until sub runs out.
Well according to someone on the wow forums there is something that is effective as follow.
I guess we'll just wait and see.
Tried to ask him about it, and got nothing.
Filled my own two cents about this and a suggestion on how to work with both sides.

Tell me what you guys think.
I saw that, if there was something as effective as follow I think we would already be using it.Quote:

IMO, I won't be surprised if they bring /follow back to battlegrounds in some period of weeks. As soon as the patch hit, news about /follow lit up, so it's not like they were expecting to suddenly ban a bunch of bots that they caught off guard and could now instantly detect as soon as the patch hit (even though people playing on PTR said /follow worked fine there before 5.2 went live)... And once the bots switch away from /follow, this feature removal serves no anti-botting purpose.
Consider the LFR delay, and think to yourself about how our situation relates. They want certain types of dedicated players to get the first whack at the new gear, etc., so that the experience is not cheapened for those players. Some people are happy, some people are sad, and Blizzard can claim some sort of victory. Now extend that same idea to PVP, and here we are.
Also consider that we know they have some automated system for suspending/banning suspect players in the battlegrounds. We know because various multiboxers were collateral damage. Well, now they still have their automated system but they can have it on, with little/no collateral damage simply because multiboxers are effectively eliminated from the BG's for the time being. I would assume that they are collecting useful data during this time, and that when/if they flip /follow back on, they will see more multiboxers' behavior patterns again and have a better idea who is a legitimate multiboxer, and who is not.
Anyway, there's my idle speculation.
Apparently theres ways around it... so who knows.Quote:
