Follow In Battlegrounds Broken After 5.2

If they didn't remove follow then all the cool computer nerds would be at home playing WoW, instead of outside sharing their genius with the rest of the world.

on the PTR follow seems to work in WSG now not sure if this is on live the other bg's i tryed av/eos it seems to say the same thing as before. not got any live accounts to test it on. maybe they added follow for RBG? and WSG is using the same map as the random play. Or maybe its a bug?


just letting you know anyway.

I think they might be reconsidering the change. I opened a ticket to express my disappointment and got a personal response including the statement, "the removal of the /follow command is something we are reconsidering due to the feedback we've gotten so far."

No offense, but being a brand new registered user as of today, I think we're going to need to see a screenshot of that ticket in order to not completely discredit what you're saying.

I understand what you're saying. No offense taken. Here is a screenshot of the GM's response:

Definitely no guarantees, but I see it as a glimmer of hope.

No offense, but being a brand new registered user as of today, I think we're going to need an image of the hard drive you've used to make that screenshot to make sure you didn't use photoshop, in order to not completely discredit what you're saying.

I've already contacted Denzel Washington to see if I can borrow that time-folding device from the movie Deja Vu. We'll be able to watch me open the ticket response as it happened, and possibly even shine a laser pointer in my eye. That'll learn me.

To stay relevant to the topic, here is an interesting observation I made regarding CTM. You can CTM/IWT to a player if they are on a different realm. So, if you were to have all your multiboxing characters on different realms, you could set up a CTM/IWT spam system to follow the leader.

Some more recent evidence that Blizzard is possibly working on bringing back /follow to battlegrounds:

I'd probably resub for some pvp if they did.
