I was about to reactivate my 5x accounts but decided to read the DB forums before I did.
I messaged an old buddy/guildie of mine that works for blizzard. He said he thinks it's going back in (/follow) he saw it on some designers white board.
There could be hope!
For me anyways, and I'm sure for you, the main reason I boxed was for PvP. If you can't PvP in BGs then what's the point. (There isn't one).
Everyone do yourself a favor and cancel your WoW accounts and sign up for some free Rift trial accounts. It's obvious to me now that Blizzard has taken a stance against Multiboxing and any hope any of you have of /follow ever coming back is misleading.
Rift is a very WoW-like game, so you'll pick it up fast, and I've come to like it even more as it has plenty of features WoW doesn't have. Multiboxers are moving to Rift in herds, and I joined a multiboxing guild right away from other people doing the same thing as me. The makers of Rift, Trion, welcome multiboxers. They want our business. Blizzard does not want our business anymore. WoW is dead to me... it's a shame after I spent 8 years pouring money into that game that they would treat their customers this way, but that's what they've done. So screw 'em.
of course they are going to put it back in since it did not effect the majority of the big botting company's who are one step ahead,
Any good bot doesn't use /follow anyways, lol. Like lamest excuse ever.
If anyone is curious, the PVP daily quests opened up today on Kil'Jaeden. I was able to get them completed in about an hour, got about 600 honor as well as 50 conquest points. If you add that with the 400 you can get via the old Grizzly Hill's PVP dailies, thats about 1000 a day, or a piece of gear every 2-3 days. Probably good enough to gear up for arenas if they make that possible again. Not quite as good as BG's, but not that bad a rate either. Plenty of world PVP going on too, ruinous was out there as usual doing their thing, and there were also quite a few decent horde groups out there as well.
I'm still going to stick around and see if they bring back /follow, but have cancelled my subs until they do. Still like playing solo, I did start this game solo playing after all...
PS: Though I have been playing a LOT of league of Legends recently instead of wow haha
Multiboxing 2 kids at home, I sometimes wish I could turn /follow off.
LoL
Soon their IWT will have them running off all crazy in different directions and they'll be stuck in corners.
they use follow as a backup. not all the time but they do use it the bots getting suck in bg is kinda funnyQuote:
