Follow In Battlegrounds Broken After 5.2

[Chivalrous]

They didn't break follow to stop botters, they broke it to break multiboxing BGs. How do I know? I called up my buddy and asked him if his bot was still working in BGs after 5.2--he called me back an hour later and said yes, it was. He couldn't tell the difference.

I guess I really don't Zenga, because it seems obvious to me that it must be the reason--perhaps going after bots now that they don't have to distinguish them from boxers so often, or as a general staging point for more aggressive tracking, but still they knew it would severely limit boxing.

Sorry everyone for the frustration I was /forcequitted 3 weeks ago due to having a baby. This business decision is quite bold. Especially after having supported us for so many years. Hell recruit a friend was basically inviting you to multibox when it was first introduced.
There are many other options out there, and more so that are multiboxing friendly.
I've been dabbing in a bit of Everquest 2 because of the free to play model I don't feel bad if I only get to log on once a week. Multiboxing in it is extremely user friendly. Slap your characters on follow and target your main and they assist with any further macro's.
Also been meaning to try out Star Wars as they are releasing more new content and is basically an updated WoW gameplay/engine from what I can tell. It does offer a PvP aspect too that has "something" there.

Multiboxing will thrive as a gameplay style I don't doubt that. They'll have this change on record if they do uphold it to show bad business decisions in the future. The fact their sub numbers will take a visible hit will speak volumes to the people who do actually make decisions.

My suggestion is to cancel your account, even if you do plan on continuing to play. Just re-sub for another month afterwards and cancel it again. You still get the time you paid for.
But in the notes type out exactly why you are quitting and copy/paste that onto each of your cancelled accounts. This will get the message across. Speak with your wallet, I guarantee you it has a larger effect than the forum.

First off, You bring the best news I've heard in this thread. Congrats on being a mother. I wish nothing but the very best for you and yours.

I've had that station access account for years now, and have dabbled with EQ2 myself, esp. the lat few months. I don't know if this will help, but I did find out, I got a real nice discount when I grabbed both expansions a few months back. Like total of 60 bucks versus the 80 bucks. But even then, you don't have to have them, until end game. EQ2 is a very valid option for us, and given from my understanding, it would still allow us to support Lax, it may be a very good option, should some of you choose to go that way.

Anyways, Grats again, I bet you are so proud, and rightly so right now. Anytime one of us creates a future boxer is a day to be celebrated!

I think ellay has mixed feelings now :d

[F9thRet]

LOL, I figured that would come in about two years. LOL. I know my youngest Grandson gives my son and his wife fits. Oh wait, I must have missed that. All this time, I thought Ellay was a woman. If I was in error, my deepest apoligies, and Please replace Mother with Father.

The legendary allmighty mother of multiboxing :P

[Oatboat]

Congrats Mommy! Hah! .. but in all seriousness Congrats on your kid .... I think this is just a bump in the road. They've done some drastic things in the past that made us all up in arms for a few days and we've worked around them. Although this is a pretty BIG bump in the road this time.
