If Blizzard removed /follow then would you still multibox?

[keyclone]

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

if this was asked and answered last year, and you are aware of it, why would you decide to put it out again?

is the point to openly discuss some hypothetical that would undermine multi-boxing, thereby disheartening members?

exactly what is to be gained that wasn't discovered a year ago?

I certainly hope this isn't part of Evilseed's attempts to mess with us.

Wow, you guys are touchy about discussing this subject. I'm glad there are so many worthwhile threads that this one is put to shame by asking if some would continue to multibox if /follow was removed. I mean really, there are far crappier threads on the first page of General Discussion, but lots have their panties in a bunch over this one. I guess the Evilseed drama likes to spill over anywhere it can. I mean really, I'm trying to dishearten members, Keyclone? Feel free to delete this thread as it's obviously an evil attempt to stop this hobby that I've fully embraced of the past couple months. :thumbsup:

I realize you're less than happy with the response you're getting here, but understand that with recent happenings and the way Evilseed/Mouseconner has handled these incidents in the past, we've all got to be a little paranoid.

They wouldn't remove /follow they would update the TOS and ban people who did it if they really wanted to do anything at all.

Pretty sure Basilikos was joking!

I will say, I got a sort of apprehensive feeling when I saw the topic, probably similar to how grannies get when you talk about bowel cancer or car wrecks or being accidentally shot through the head by a ricochet from a bank robbery six blocks away. "Don't talk about that, it'll come true!" I'd rather steer clear of conversation whose very existence implies that we're not completely on the level, or that there's some lingering doubt as to whether multiboxing is OK with the powers that be. I'm well aware of the multiple instances of Blizzard confirming the legitimacy of multiboxing as a playstyle, and am very confident that if they had any problem with it, they could have easily crushed us like bugs a long time ago. But as a non-superstitious thirtysomething male I'm still apparently not immune to the Granny Effect, so wouldn't mind not seeing threads like this. :P

Strictly speaking, no. I certainly hope that this is NOT part of the attempt to mess with the community.

Humor aside, I wasn't trying to attack someone. I know what you were getting at, but I stand by the literal meaning of my statement. I hope this is NOT a part of Mouseconner's disruption attempts.

Why on earth are we discussing such a pointless question?

Its like asking on the wow forums:

"Would you still play wow if your wife/mother took your keyboard"

I dont want to be rude, but seriously do we need topics like this?

I'll answer your question with another one, why make such a pointless post yourself? If you don't like the topic, gtfo.

If my wife/mum took my keyboard, ofc I would still play, I'd go buy a new one...duh.

I would still play if /follow was removed. I only use it for traveling places. But I have movement keys mapped anyway and while flying i actully dont use /follow as it keeps breaking from phasing in northrend, especially ice crown and storm peaks.

Also, I first started by dual-boxing, with 2 keybaords.

PS: I swear i have seen some of the handiwork in this thread before by trolls in the wow forums...

...oh yes, I went there. Seriously though, gg.

I'm a dude, and I'm guessing you're a dude, but I'd still give you a hug.

GAAAAAYYYY!

Sorry couldn't resist.

To answer seriously: I'd stop multiboxing WoW and go multibox something else. City of Heroes is fun and might be cool multiboxing.

I'd probably still keep a WoW account going but I'd never enjoy it as much again, I was pretty much tired of WoW and stuck behind a wall of PUGs before I started boxing it.

What I'd really like Blizzard to implement is a formation follow - you could choose between wedge, wing, block, star, line, and conga - that'd be great!
