Follow In Battlegrounds Broken After 5.2

[Narij]

My accounts died last week, I fingered I'd reactive them in a month and enjoy the benefits of 5.2, that clearly won't be the case. Canceled my main account, even though I can still enjoy the single player aspect, this whole business has soured on me and I'm asking myself, "why bother?"

At this point even a well thought out response might be too late, I needed to see that on Monday.

Congratulations on the baby, it sounds like you both are in good health.

I don't pvp but I am canceling out of solidarity for those that do. This is a BS move on blizzards part. I don't have fun playing anymore. If I am boxing dailies, I get hate. If I am idle on the terrace, I get hate. Now blizzard is kowtowing to the haters.
PvP boxing is like Austria and Austria was just annexed. PvE boxing is like Poland and I expect it to be in the cross hairs very soon.

Was bored, and just gave them a call and was told that this update was to stop multiboxer/boters since they had an advantage over other players.

I have never pvp'ed but this change does concern me that they may just remove follow from the game, period. I agree with a lot of the posters here that the move was very sneaky.
As to folk protesting, I think that only serves to give boxing a bad name and it will not have any effect on blizzard, they know the numbers and made a decision based on the loss of players they would take based on this move.
Afterall it is about the bottom line and keeping the majority of their playerbase happy, not the minority, which boxers are.

Yeah I'm done too. I just built that computer for boxing so now need to find something to tax it properly.

I really think you will like Rift, I loved it but when i played it, the level cap was 50 and I just got a little burnt out with it, with the new expansion I am considering going back to it. The graphics will tax your nice new machine

I am pretty disappointed they made this change after 8 years. In the cancellation of my accounts I made sure to put that this "business" decision has sullied me on any future products that blizzard may release.

Thanks! I will look into it. Was watching some gw2 videos also. I want to play HoTS, but don't want to give blizzard money right now.

Just in case you were referring to GW2 as a possible MB game, you will need to rethink that... http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/49017-GW2-Anet-s-Official-Stance-on-Multiboxing-Updated

Blizztard's move is very, very dull.
No warning - so tough luck, I guess, if you've subbed multiple accounts for a year.

This, on top of how poor Diablo3 was - how many people are going to touch Blizztard's next game?

Give TERA a go guys, it's free to play, and even though last time i played it there wasnt much of bgs or raids, it was great graphics, combat system is AWESOME and a great game to whittle away some hours on. Not mboxer friendly though.
