If Blizzard removed /follow then would you still multibox?

[Owltoid]

I've seen many posts referencing that if Blizzard really wanted to nerf MB then it would remove follow. While I'm sure that's true, how many of you would continue to MB and figure out new ways to play?

[Hachoo]

Nope...

I love multiboxing but I'm not addicted to WoW nor am I interested in doing something that feels like a job. The only reason I multibox is because Blizzard has made it so easy If /follow was gone, 4 of my subscriptions would be too.

If they removed follow? Character control would go out the window and the game would become more trouble than its worth.

If they removed /follow "they would never do this" we would just have to result to using hardware based mice n keyboards for movement controls rather then syncing out keyboard buffers.

I barely have time enough to play already. If they removed /follow I would cancel all but one account and then that one would prolly get canceled later as all the things I hated about wow came back and that was the reason I started to MB. I would give it prolly 3-4 months.

I'd stop quad-boxing, but I'd still dual-box. Maybe even triple. But dual for sure.

/Follow would kill 95%+ of the serious multiboxers. This was pointed out over a year ago, numerous times.

So.. welcome to Jan, 2008.

I know it was pointed out a long time ago, which is why I mentioned something similar in my original post. If you responded to a similar question one year ago, then I invite you to abstain from answering in this thread

I'd cancel all but two of my accounts, and just use one account to boost the other, like I used to do back in old Diablo 2 days. Actually actively playing both accounts at the same time? Nope. The reason I've stuck with WoW over other new MMORPGs is becuase WoW makes multiboxing so much easier, and there's good synergy between classes. If /follow were gone, I'd transfer the lvl 70+ toons on my 3 cancelled accounts to my two remaining active accounts and go back to solo raiding with the guild full-time.

I must ask then, why do you feel compelled to start a new thread? Why not a poll? Why not bump one of the old ones?

For the sake of not polluting the search engine more than it already is...

A forum full of similar posts is better than a forum devoid of activity. Many threads have been covered in some detail and can be answered from a search forum, but that doesn't exactly build a community or get user input from multiboxers who weren't on the forum last year.

I can see doing a search thread for "pally tanking macros" but I can't see doing a search thread for a question that asks members of the community what THEY would do if /follow was removed.

i would not be doing anything that requires a lot of coordination, thats for sure.

maybe boost some lowbies through instances. with one healer at a selected spot, out of aggro range, to heal. grab mobs, run back, aoe down. heal as needed. thats the only thing i can think of doing without /follow.
