If Blizzard removed /follow then would you still multibox?

Lol, I was hoping this thread would die, but that was a worthwhile bump, Basilikos!

I hoped it would be humorous, but I wasn't sure. Honestly, I figured that he was honestly asking if he'd ever seriously made the statement and I can't let an honest question slide 8) .

Lord Fursphere... I like the sound of that.

Noooooooooo!!!!!

p.s. Grats to Basilikos for a great post and a great misquote

Very little that I read here makes me openly guffaw. Excellent exorcism.

Lord Fursphere said aloud sounds nasty. /shudder

Adding my 2 cents...

I would transfer all of the unique high level toons from my 3-5th accounts back to my first two accounts. I've got too many toons to fit them all on my main account now, but I'd salavage: my 80 priest, 80 hunter, 2 of my 72 paladins, 2 of my 60 shamen, my 60 druid, my 60 lock, my 60 rogue and 2 of my death knights. That'd have to be enough. My guild is getting back into raiding. I really enjoy casual raiding, so I'd stick around and play solo.

I wouldn't multibox anymore, except for the greatest multiboxing oppertunity in the game:

The Auction Houses! (I've got two lowbie alliance on my main acct and another on my 2nd acct to help find goods for guildes when the horde auction is overpriced or doesn't have the goods). It's also nice to have one of your bank toons on and shopping while you're doing other things on the other account with a high level toon.

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?

No.

Anyone in this thread who boldly claimed "OH YES I WUD HURRR, I LUVS EET TO MUCH" is mentally challenged, and/or has not tried w/o follow.
Replicating key strokes does not suffice, .5deg of error, results in stopping and re facing your guys after about 50 yards.
I.e. it would be quicker to do dailies on all 5 individually, then doing them all at teh same time.

Oceanic internet, meet Suvega. Suvega, meet daily occurance.

2 keyboards, 2 melee chars, one with mouse one with keys. That's how I started. In instances, once I'm set up for a fight, I don't use /follow. I only care about the old school raids and boxing allows me to practically solo them. I would continue using the firepower and healing capacity even without /follow.

Every once in a while someone will post a 'remove follow' suggestion. As a game developer, I do wonder what kind of image these people have of us. Do they really think that a game developer that can change a TOS and ban people for breaking it when needed, would resort to something as ineffective as removing follow from the game?

Once again, the post was not asking if Blizzard is going to remove follow or suggesting that they should do it. All it was doing was asking how people would react if an important mechanic was removed (apparently many would likely not continue to MB WoW while others would take on the new challenge).

Wasn't my intention to suggest that you were the one suggesting to remove it, I meant the people that actually post those suggestions on the wow forums. As for whether I myself would continue to multibox, that would be probably be a no. Why? Because I know Blizzard would not bother with a follow mechanic change, they'd simply ban the practice of multiboxing.

I would probably quit at some point without follow, however I rarely rely on follow for instances. Most of the time I take off follow for a pull. I'd just have to adjust positioning more and spend more time walking to the next pull when I got off sync.
