Follow In Battlegrounds Broken After 5.2

Okay pause, is there a way we could control our guys in pvp without using /follow?
Surely we could come up with something that might work even better. Blizzard hasn't come out and said multiboxing is now against the rules or anything... Maybe we could still do it despite this if we get creative.

Remember before we had these programs? We thought of new things before, why not try again?

Most multiboxers knew the best way to stop multiboxing is to simply remove the follow command. You cannot effectively PvP without it.

Yeah that was the first thing I posted earlier. Problem is when you want to move lond distance or around complicated spaces... example: you start out in WSG flag room, you move towards gate, turn towards it line up, move out it, move through other gate, mount... run at an angle to GY, drop down, head towards center or the tunnel/ramp entrance... somewhere in the middle you can start using IWT or CTM for distance travel if on broad cast...

Click to move maybe...? Something fancy could be done with it.

Sorry i just don't want to give up so easily.

Perhaps if we combined IWT and CTM in a unique new way.

Are there any items we could place down in front of us then interact with? Also the multiperson mount idea might work for 3 person.

If this change stays... what games are people going to try boxing in?

I was looking at the Free to Play, Everquest I for a while.
Didn't actually play the game, beyond logging three accounts in to see what I had.
From perusing the SOE forums, it looks like they're boxer friendly to a degree... but nothing like battlegrounds.

There's LotRO, Rift, maybe other games.
Haven't really looked at the others much.

I found something. Mount traveler's tundra mammoth on main, anything on alts. Target the vendor and use IWT across toons.
If you keep moving they will follow your main like normal in mounted zones.

This is pretty impressive. Only way to break this would be to make the vendors non interactive. O_o

This is pretty impressive.

Thank you :]

He says its not intentional...

[tldr]

I popped in to whine about the glitches I've encountered today. They seem pretty insignificant next to the BG follow issue. That really sucks. I'd hate to see such a thing completely evaporate the multiboxing community.

Any thing on the twitter feed or another link to it?
