How would we multibox Vanilla if follow is removed?

Follow ceases to function when you engage in any PvP combat

I haven't actually played the last couple of expansions but didn't they introduce a system that toggles different talent based on whether you're in PvP or PvE combat? I had assumed that /follow being disabled while in PvP combat is connected to that system. Considering that system doesn't exist in vanilla there's a chance follow may work independently.

As far as I recall in Legion your PVP talents were only active while you were tagged for PVP combat or in designated zones, world quest areas or instances. This is not really the case anymore. Now you have your talents available at all times in Warmode , or while in PVP instances. I assume dueling in both systems toggles the talents as well, although I never tried in either.

As far as we know the same API strings having to do with the follow disabling while in PVP combat were found in the Classic test client, so currently there is no reason to believe that the same system would not exists in classic. I.E. It appears Classic will not have follow while in PVP combat.

If you're referring to the War Mode toggle introduced in the latest expansion, then, no, it is not connected to PvP combat, other than you can find much more PvP-related combat with War Mode enabled, but there's nothing stopping someone, who doesn't have War Mode enabled, to pick a fight with any NPC that is flagged for PvP, which, in turn, toggles PvP combat.

I feel that there is so much confusion around this one topic that I just made a very easy to follow flowchart:
