I would suggest something is wrong with your setup then. Currently, I can have one toon log in at the base camp on tatooine and the others log in about the middle of the map, and press my follow keybind... and the dude from half a map away will begin running towards my team. Every group I run, the team is right there with me. Melee and Ranged. I have also watched my giuidmates operate multiple accounts with no issue. Perhaps a revisit of your setup? Can you post your setup or elaborate a bit more as to specifically what you are pressing, doing, and what is going on?
