Follow In Battlegrounds Broken After 5.2

there is definitely no shortage of world pvp, been having quite some fun but need to find a faster way to get the honor gear now.

I bought GW2 today, gonna play that some. I'm burnt out on MoP. It just feels like a job for not much fun pve-wise, I had started doing BGs before 5.2 hit. I tried single player BGs and didn't have fun, and I tried raiding single player but with my job can't keep a schedule. Not any friends really that play anymore sooo... Think I'm done with WoW for now. Ill say /follow when I cancel my subs.

There is no reason to avoid AV. I think anyone who watched my stream yesterday can attest to me playing at 90% capacity of what I could do prior to the removal of /follow. If you have a melee team, and a two or three person mount that can be interacted with, then BGs are still viable. I'll be streaming more on Monday if you want to see it in action or discuss how it's done. I have already farmed over half my honor gear, including weapons, in a few days.

Quite frankly, I think all BGs are viable again with the right team (rogues or DKs will make it much easier, but other melee is good too). The only thing stopping me from just doing randoms is I need more gear and I need to work on my rogue rotations.

Before my subs ran out I did av without follow. My team was about 70% less effective at helping the team. I defended the flag for awhile. Once I got the frostwolf insignia I used it to defend the base. With IWT the shaman could still kill people but it was much less effective without follow. You can still earn honor and get gear. I don't really see what the point in gearing them up would be. It's not like you can do arenas or have fun in bg's like before. I almost stayed to pve but decided to quit instead. The majority of my teams are pvp based. My Dk team, warrior team, mage team, and two 5 shaman teams on different servers would be a complete waste of time with the change. That would leave me with my two pve teams. I imagine my multiboxer days are over.

So I have been reading some of the threads (here and in the PVP section) and my question is:

Does the IWT to a druid in travel form work in BGs? If so I think it is time I either account transfer my 86 druid on my daughters account back to mine or power level my 40+ something druid to join my 4 x 89 shaman.

The only other viable option I have heard is IWT to toon on a 3 person mount of potentially a 2 person mount (RAF, Vial, or mechanohog) for resolving BG /follow issues. Sure it only works out of combat but better than nothing and it just means my girls get to go enhancement... uggh!!!

That doesn't work anyplace.

They are talking about IWT with a multi-person mount.

[smalltanker]

I thought that because druids in travel form are mountable much like RAF mounts or three person tundra or the new ones could be mounted or IWTed to mount them. I'll do some playing around tomorrow when I am home and awake in the afternoon.

Thanks John, I was hoping for some good news/work around as I really don't feel like mouse broadcasting alot to be able to have some decent group movement/PVP functionality.

Shodokan has already confirmed that interacting with Druid Travel Form works just fine.
