Follow In Battlegrounds Broken After 5.2

My reason for leaving really had little to do with BGs. I did 5 box BGs once in a blue moon but it wasn't my thing. Training some guy in no gear was no fun which happened most of the time. Once in a great while a group of medicore to decent players would engage me in teams and that was fun but few and far between. Most of them time it was my 5 box vs 1, 2 or 3 uncoordinated players. In that case I'd win.

There are other obvious reasons to not box WoW. Questing is discouraging. The lack of 5 man content is as well. They plan to keep that trend going too as they won't be adding any further 5 man content to MoP.

I 5 boxed MoP briefly to see the 5 mans and do some of the questing. It was super lame for me so I just left. The BG ban was the icing on the cake.

PvP isn't all there is to multiboxing. I multiboxed EQ for years and it just had far more interesting PvE content in this regard. It wasn't the central focus to grind dailies and pick up glittery nodes on the ground. This is pretty much how I've come to detest multiboxing WoW.

If collections were group wide and they had a focus on 5 man content WoW would be better off for multiboxing even without BGs.

The collection quests are a big pain, but they are much much better than previous expansions. The items respawn so fast that sometimes I just run in a circle collecting them.

Have you been doing them since 5.2? I heard that on the ptr a whole group was supposed to get credit for collection quests when one person looted. Were we misinformed?

It never made it to the 5.2 release :(

5.2 really killed WoW for me. No new 5 mans and a ton of dailies just ruined it. 5.3 has interesting changes, but not enough to bring me back. I may just wait until 6.0

Will you tell us how you handle movement now?
Do you use multimount and IWT?


And what do you do in combat situations (no mount)?


Or is this top secret? ^^
