Follow In Battlegrounds Broken After 5.2

[Asterix]

because of the bots...yeah... I see...



Disabling auto follow in Battle Grounds has only hurt the multi boxer.
The problem is when multi boxers are having fun in PvP, everyone else often is not.

I haven't checked the site in a few days so just now saw this. I'm not surprised as a few people guessed they knew it wouldn't stop bots all along. I guess his mage encountered a 5+boxer in AV and he "stopped having fun".

Why are they not liable for the many thousands of dollars that multiboxers have invested in the game to be able to multibox PvP? It seems like a good case could be brought against them in court. They permitted it at one time.. they are "hiding" behind the "bot" excuse for legal reasons IMO. But statements like GC made, could be used against that argument. Lets face it.. they would never break a part of the game that would keep solo players from being able to play. You could also use the plethora of posts blizzard has made in DEFENCE of multiboxing in PVP against them. They "knowingly" removed a feature in a game that breaks a style of play that depends on it. And its a style of play that they approved of for all the past years of this games life. NO comment by a blue was ever negative until Zarhags " we tolerate it, for now." comment.

This just eats at me everytime i see someone post about it.. and GCs comments just pissed me off even more. It seems criminal..only because they led us all to believe we were safe to invest our money in this game, to play how we like to play. And then took it away in an instant with no regards to how it would effect multiboxers.. emotionally and financially. They could be held liable in court for encouraging a style of game play.. for bribing many of us into spending more money by offering easy means to level more accounts ( RaF ).

Ok.. ill take my meds and go to work /crazy off

I stopped reading there. I thought I read my 'silliest thing of the day' a moment ago, but this just took its place. If you're ready to spend an ungodly amount of money on a superbly good lawyer for a case you have nearly no chance of winning, than be my guest. (You've agreed to Blizzard's TOS by using their software, so good luck!) The best thing anyone can do is to unrustle their jimmies over some internet pixels, and move on. I've found my own great niche in EVE online, and many other folks here are doing other things as well.

When you stop reading before the end of a statement.. and then comment, you make yourself look like a fool. I was voicing my frustration.. you did notice the "/crazy off" at the end right? It was a rant, I know damn well its not winnable..

Do you think anyone of the people who spent the money they have to box ( for PvP ) would have done so had Bliz given them a clue that they would someday remove /follow from BGs? I dont think so.. Why did they do it? Based on Blizzards own statements of defence for multiboxing in PvP and PvE, they had no reason to not invest their hard earned money on this so called "pixels". Or they would not have done it.

No, you look like the fool with the ridiculous threat of legal action over something trivial. Blizzard doesn't owe you anything in this regard. People quit and unsub all the time because features are removed or class abilities are changed but this whole /we're special because we pay for multiple accounts so we could pursue legal action/ is pitiful. I couldn't imagine a... warrior that unsubbed due to class nerfs threatening legal action.

We all took a risk doing this, investing time and money into a completely unsupported and (barely) tolerated style of play for which the game was not even designed.

It'd be really nice if those of you still crying about this change would give it up already, quit posting nonsense here and on the wow forums, and move on. The player base likes to imagine the multiboxing community as one person or one type of person and the few of us still doing it and enjoying it would really appreciate it if you just up and left and stopped making the rest of us look bad.

Again an idiot who does not read the entirety of my post.. i never threatened anything. I was simply voicing how i feel about it.. did I ever say i was going to take them to court?
