Follow In Battlegrounds Broken After 5.2

[Fat Tire]

Yeah I thought there would be some angry people here....

I think most of us are mature enough to wait until a non idiot blue gives some sort of explanation as to the reasoning. If it is indeed "working as intended" then we will move on, not much else we can do.

Wow - certainly the end of WoW for me if this isn't fixed. I'm amazed. We all knew if Blizz wanted to stop multiboxing then removing /follow was the silver bullet. Never thought they would actually use it, though. I was so excited to try out my rogues in 5.2, but even if you had a dominating arena team who cares if you can't blow fools up in BGs.

Has anyone tried out an arena match yet?

To anyone who reads this thread: please visit the World of Warcraft forums and express your thoughts and opinions on this change.

Please don't. There's enough threads already, and for every boxer in favor of /follow, there are a dozen replies about boxer hate, it's only making it look worse. Blizzard does not make decisions based on any of those stupid forum posts. They make decisions based on data and analytics gathered in-game, from bug/tech support forums, market and competing game research, and their own design ideas. Those forums are for players to talk to each other and get into pointless arguments.

You want to know if it was intended or not, you get an official response from the Bug Report forums or wait for a hotfix, or Ghostcrawler to reply, or just wait it out. Or cancel your subs, but don't expect a couple hundred accounts lost to affect the decision either way, we amount to almost nothing compared to 8+ million subscriptions.

Well, if this is intended.. I won't be back to Warcraft.
If it is reverted, I'll eventually get the itch.

I just got off the phone with Blizzard tech support. She informed me that it was an intended change and they were briefed about it before they came on shift today.

The death of an era (if true). Oh well, lots of RL shiat to focus on.

Shitty...

We've put a fair bit of time into this game, over the years.
Anyone with a PvP focus, isn't going to be having fun anymore.

I don't have much personal interest in PvE.
But even if I did... I'd be hesitant to put a lot of effort in, as this is indicative of the direction Blizzard seems to be moving in, in regards to boxing in their game.

Time to look at other games, I suppose.

Or if someone wants to break the computer gaming habit...
This is a golden opportunity.

Wow...I suspected this might happen after they tried to kill queue and blocked the join battle ground function. I just didn't think it would happen so soon. Well, this makes we glad I canceled in January.

Has anyone tried arenas, rates, and skirmishes?How about winter grasp and top bar ad?

Is it broken in raids, dungeons, or scenarios?

If it's not intended to target boxer, maybe we can suggest to allow /follow beetweens toons on the same battlenet, but since they officialy don't support boxing, i don't think we have a chance.
