so far no luck off of follow on the ptr in 5.3
I see zero reason for them to add it back.
Multiboxers did, unfortunately, cause a bad experience for both sides of the battleground in many, many instances. You run a gimmick comp, undergeared, or suck? You cause a bad experience for your team. You're geared to the teeth, play twinks, or got your PVP system down? You cause a bad and very unexpected experience for the other team. Complaints from both sides.
This is obviously not the case all the time, there are friendly teams that won't blame you for the loss or will give you credit for the win, and enemy teams that got a riot out of playing against a multiboxer whether they got stomped or not. But obviously there were far too many complaints about the experience it caused.
There were just too many multiboxers, and it's gotten harder every expansion. 2-3 expansions ago people rarely or never ran into them, were amazed, puzzled, or whatever, not flooding the forums and report system with complaints.
And by too many multiboxers I don't imply that we are some army that has enough say to sway this kind of decision. We're a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the PVP population in this game.
The random bots in bg's that killed us. most players just said we was bots with the bots but we been though this before. pvp just got really bad.Quote:

Has any one tried Tiny's oFollow? Watched him in Ogrimmar trying it out the otherday in the troll section.
Couldn't find anything about this on Google, Curse, or WoWInterface. Where is his website?Quote:

So use at own risk as it is a work in progress using the WOW ingame LUA addon programming whatnots (Not a programmer ... so ... yeah whatnots /wink wink). I don't know if their is a thread over on the oqueue forum as I can't view it at work. I will be checking it after work and my restodruid is 87.5 so at 89 I will join her up to my 4 89 shaman to finish the push to 90 in Dreadwaste and AV while I resolve my set up, macros, and stuff like that.
See you all later.
Random BGs are God awful even without multiboxers in them. You'll get the occasional teams that play to win. All the remaining are people farming HKs, testing macros and just chatting away or trolling.
Multiboxing was just a scapegoat for the complaining everyone does about random BGs. My opinion on it is that random BGs shouldn't even exist. Not in their current state anyway. The fact you much have to do them to acquire honor is also stupid.
I'll hold true to my thoughts on it. When you have a large section of the playerbase botting the content, the content needs to go. There is no better way to tell a developer how much you hate a piece of content than to bot it.
I know when I BG on my team I actively work towards BG objectives. I alsi don't do small BGs (IE 10 mans) but will do 15 man and I like AV and IOC. In AV I will either cap a tower of defend something like Tower Point. When I want to change it up I will speed north, cap relief hut in the alliance base and then grab a tower. After that I float between north/south bunker and ensure the GY across the bridge stays capped. I have some decent screen shots from previous AV weekends where I was rocking top damage/kills by doing what we do best "Focus Fire".
I have also been griped at so much from middle farmers, road warriors, and QQers that I pretty much quit WOW after the 5.2 /follow issues. I just love the game and still play rated BGs on 2 toons, do LFR on the same two solo played toons and will be grinding some BGs with my daughter this week who just hit 90 tonight on her first toon. I do believe that Blizzard should do some better match making and it looks like 5.3 is taking steps along that way.
Returning to the thread I just want to hit 89 to join my team then hit 90, do some BGs and get into that arena content Lax has been discussing in other theads. I feel 1 druid and 4 shaman will be able to do some decent rating once I get my head screwed on straight and set my stuff up the right way. But even today I was actively reporting botters in BGs and it sickens me that Blizzard removed paying legit customers but left botters (even the more advance non /follow botters) in the BGs at our expense... /uggh.
Back in the days of MuDs the developers did just that. Like how hacker used to be a term describing a knowledgeable programmer it now means bad things, just like the word bots.Quote:
