I agree, Fursphere has gotten soft.

You big ol' fluffy fuzball.
In anticipation of Blizzard removing /follow, I have canceled all of my accounts.
I'll be damned if they are going to beat me to it!!!! :thumbup:
Wish I was as smart and strong as you are. :pQuote:

I'm glad there are so many worthwhile threads that this one is put to shame by asking if some would continue to multibox if /follow was removed. I mean really, there are far crappier threads on the first page of General Discussion, but lots have their panties in a bunch over this one. I guess the Evilseed drama likes to spill over anywhere it can. I mean really, I'm trying to dishearten members, Keyclone? Feel free to delete this thread as it's obviously an evil attempt to stop this hobby that I've fully embraced of the past couple months. :thumbsup:[/quote]
Actually, this is quite mild. Long before I was a moderator here, I used to hammer on the redundant / pointless threads pretty hard here. The old timers know what I'm talking about. ;)
I think Keyclone nailed it though - if you actually found the old threads, why reinvent the wheel? I realize the search feature just outright fails at times, but if it actually worked... well...[/quote]
To clarify, I never found an old thread devoted to discussing what people would do if they removed /follow. I never searched for one, I never found this magical January 2008 thread... probably because I never tried. I don't doubt there is one, and in fact probably multiple versions, but I don't see a point in searching for old threads when I'm asking what [b]current members [/b]would do. The members from 2008 are likely different than the current members. If you don't want to take part in the thread, then here's a piece of advice: stop bumping it.
I have seen multiple threads mention that Blizzards biggest tool is the removal of follow. I created a thread that discussed Pally+Moonkin vs DK+shaman (another topic that has probably been discussed 20 times and could be covered in a search, but nobody bitched about that one). In that thread I referenced an older thread discussing which buffs stack:
[url='http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=112866&highlight=crus ader+moonkin#post112866']Blizzard's official comment about changes to stacking buffs in WOTLK. Comprehensive list of buffs inside.[/url]
I was just researching the stacking of buffs and I noticed, once again, that someone mentioned Blizzard's ace up their sleeve. That's where my curiousity started. This thread is where my opinion of some of the regular members diminished ;( I find it ironic that someone can ask a simple question, get interesting feedback from users who would stop playing and who would continue playing, be bashed by regular members and moderators, and then told to post on the WoW forums by the very same people who stooped to that maturity level.
For all those who think I'm part of Evilseeds grand plan to undermine this community, you're correct. I am Evilseed, and I am MouseCloner. I like to argue with myself by STARTING threads such as the following:
Mousecloner is very likely against the rules
Caught me red handed you sly dogs.
I'M Spartacus!
Probably Not, save myself some money.
But i'd be annoyed as heck if they did for the simple fact of all the times that a Normal Single boxer needs to use follow and its not there.
I play with a few people who need to be AFK from time to time and being able to have them follow around and still score quest counts is a good thing.
That is exactly why I did not multibox in AoC. I had 6 computers ready to go, but never fired them up.
Ok the people that are getting on the OP about creating a thread that existed a year ago... give me a break. Hes damned either way. I mean honestly why would he search back a year ago for a thread before creating a new one? It would have taken 10x longer to find the existing thread than post a new one. Also, this site was what, 1/10 as big 1 year ago? Very few people in the old thread probably even post here any more and certainly almost all of the active people on the site now weren't around when it was created.
Post in the old thread and reactivate it you say? Yeah, right. Then he'd have 50 people jumping down his throat for necroing an extremely old thread.
Last, why the hell would anyone think this has anything to do with Evilseed or mouse cloner? It was a hypothetical question about how people would feel if blizzard made a change. Good lord a lot of you people are paranoid as hell.
I can't stand it when people on forums start getting elitist about using the search function. Fine if theres already a thread on the first page (or maybe even the second page) or if a question has been asked 100 times and gets asked every few days, yes, by all means bitch about it. But expecting someone to use a search function to figure out if an extremely obscure question has been asked any time in the last X years is just retarded.
I could dual-box, but definitely not 5-box. Since I'm playing solo these days, I'd probably quit playing altogether.Quote:

Yes making multiboxing illegal comes up a lot, however this thread really has nothing to do with that. The OP really just wanted to know if a key mechanic not working would cause people to stop multiboxing.Quote:
