Follow In Battlegrounds Broken After 5.2

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

You know what sucks they still permit it just in pve types of situations. They take away follow to screw the bots yet i still see them in battlgrounds. I mean i even suggested to them instead of removing follow to check on people. I mean if theres a report on someone whisper them. If they answer back and talk to you then more then likely they are a mbxer I mean they are only punishing themselves. Right now i mean 60 extra a month from me doesnt seem like much but thats 720 more a year from one person. Plus how about how many boxers there really are. Thats thousands of dollars they are losing. They need to bring back follow but monitor the reports and take the right action not just get ban happy. Pay attention to mouse click software in pvp to see people doing the same patterns. They bring back follow i would bring mine back. I miss pvp with my toons. I mean i like to pve and farm mats and play ah game but that only stays fun for a small amount of time. There should be another thing that maybe jamba can do to strobe that could help out i dont know if its just a fantasy idea but hey. Bring back pvp i want to play lol.

I dont see what the big loss is, sure AV was also the most fun for me as well but I hardly miss it at all now.

Gear is easyer then it has ever been with the 4 world boss mobs, crafting allowing high level gear, and I am making farms for harmony.

I have not had to raid or quest at all (well the farms are quest kinda) and am gearing up very well.

As to pvp, because I am on a pvp server (and if you really wanted to pvp in the first place you would be on a pvp server) there is just no shortage around the world boss mobs. Nalak is so easy to get 522 ilevel loot off of everyone almost has to do him, just stay there and wait for your oppenents to come to you. Or do the pvp dailies surely there will be oppenents on the isle of thunder enemy camp during prime time.

I was doing Gal two days ago and 6-8 ally showed up to try him or cause us trouble, and I guess they never seen me before but I tore through them before they could organize and they flew around a bit and left lol ....

You guys are all making a big deal out of almost nothing, although I do fully agree with what was said in the above two posts.

[suicidesspyder]

Good point Same. But to me sometimes the thrill of av was wiping them at galv or belinda. Or sometimes sitting inside a tower and dropping them as soon as they entered lol. Sitting there with 5 times dks and 5 times army of the dead target me now lol. I might bring my others back soon just to do my normal instances and farming and catching people leaving bgs.

How about Blizz get bored of making money and turn the wow servers off does everyone get to sue them?

Sam if they break follow in BGs do they stop there? What if they decide people aren't having fun on world pvp and the break follow there too? It's clear they don't care for us, but they'll take our money. What they would really like is your paying for your multiple accounts and never log in. Not another cent from me.

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.

About a year or two ago I didnt log in 10 of my accounts for 6 months (at all not even one time, or longer I forgot) and I got them to extend my subscriptions for that period of time free ....

You are making an assumption about something that has not happened, ya I agree they dont care about us but they will not go out of their way to do anything about us unless there are TONS of complaints about our activities; in LFG type BGs there in fact were tons of complaints, from the enemy that you are too effective and from your own team members that you are not effective (lol) ...

There might be cause for a lawsuit, say that the Indy 500 decided tommorow that they would only allow horses and not cars, could they be sued by race car owners who have invested heavy over the years to win their car race?

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.
