Follow In Battlegrounds Broken After 5.2

[SaraiE]

This sucks, and I just finished lvling my five enhancement shammies. Well, I cancelled and i copied and pasted, " /follow not available in BGs, bye!" in all five accounts.
Luckily, my accounts will expire on March 10th, not too bad...sorry to those that re-newed recently....

Anyone know where to give feedback for each account? I think we'll have the most impact if we do it on each account so they see that 1 of us is actually 10 paying subs, 10 individuals are actually 100 paying accounts and so on..

They can already see your accounts, spamming them will only get your tickets closed at best and make us look like jerks trying to flood the ticket system in protest.

I'm no going to protest. It really isn't that major to me to be honest. Writing a nice letter explaining why I won't be renewing isn't exactly raging at them to change it or else. That's not me.

I have at least 6 EQ1 accounts and 6 eq2 accounts. I am considering going back to one of them or just playing the snot out of all the single player games I have accumulated over the past year and a half. Decisions, decisions.

[ebony]

asking for a refund on my accounts i just signed up for as they did not say this before like they always said they would. and not playing anymore

Welcome to the World of Life

I really think you will like Rift, I loved it but when i played it, the level cap was 50 and I just got a little burnt out with it, with the new expansion I am considering going back to it. The graphics will tax your nice new machine

Rift graphics better than WoW graphics?

I just found an account of mine that was still on my credit card.. i canceled it, glad i could, so i could give a reason.. cant do that with game time subs ( other than putting in a ticket )

There seems to be a lot of conclusion that this was done against boxers, that is very far from clear.



GW2 came out against boxers and clearly stated so, there is no reason that if Blizz in fact did not want boxers in BG's they would come out and flat say so. This is not the first time that changes were not posted in the patch notes or in advance.

We know for a fact they are trying to get botters out of BG's. The sad fact is there is nothing to be done about it from a hardware/software standpoint. Bots read position and other data from where wow stores it in ram locations and act upon that data, good luck doing anything about that.

It is very possible that someone figured that by ridding auto follow in BGs they would be rid of bots.

If they wanted to be rid of Boxers they would have eliminated follow everywhere. You dont think they get complaints about prepared attacking stormwind or his activities in Wintergrasp.


Its a bit soon to quit, lets get some official stance from Blizzard first.

I am sure there are some internal debates going on at this time. And whoever oked the policy is no doubt having 2nd thoughts.

Its fine to leave so you can write a ticket but I dont think investing a lot of money or time in another game is wise yet.

Besides you can get pvp gear from the world bosses if its like it was with sha of anger.

AV is my favorite thing to do in WoW but Horde losing 9 out of 10 games cause we going up against premades was getting old as well.


Also you will note that we have heard nothing from Lax, he also is taking a wait and see attitude. Looks like Tim is on the wow forums though .... I best get over there.








Maybe someone could tell me what the goal of botters is? If they are selling toons then if blizzard started selling toons it would take away the incentive for them. Obviously botters cannot brag about how good they are or how many people they faceroll so whats their incentive?



This is interesting:

They did not target boxers, follow was creating lag.

$$$ $$$ $$

They sell the gold. Usually if they cant move the gold themselves they sell it to gold selling companies. The bots that farm honor are just people who dont want to do the honor gear grind.

I used game cards this last time around, and all 10 accounts expire on March 10th, which is only a few days from now. I can't cancel anything since there is no subscription.

I had the same issue 18 months ago when I quit WoW over piss-poor Customer Service.
I had been using time cards, had a couple of weeks to go, so went into account management and activated a credit card subscription (as it wouldn't be billed until the time cards expired) then cancelled the subs in order to submit my "why have you quit" reason x 5.
