Follow In Battlegrounds Broken After 5.2

[MiRai]

The follow command no longer seems to be working in Battlegrounds or Arenas, but still works in PvE instances, Arena, and the outside world.

EDIT: Confirmed working as intended - http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/8088199775

did you enable "load out of date addons"?

After some reports coming in on the #isboxer IRC channel I joined a battleground on my solo character, right-clicked another player's portrait, and clicked "Follow"

I received a "You cannot follow that unit" error message.

The reply has already been altered. Let's cross our fingers.

Was so excited for PVP in 5.2, just paid my 5 subs 2 days ago.

Wish i had saved the money, now I'll have 4 accounts idle for the next 2 month

Why would they ninja that in? I cant believe it will even slow the botting that is going on these days.

I was about to post the same thing. Works as normal outside of BG's. My follow macro doesn't work in BG's, nor does clicking on the drop down menu from a character icon. It gives the message "You can't follow that unit."

Yeah just got another report of that from some people on vent.

Applaud. Some comments are spot on about the level a botter will go to auto a game and be 0% useful, vs a human playing multiple accounts.
