So Blizzard is saying if you want to box in BG's, Good Luck.
Otherwise, were going let you box PVE, Dungeons, Raids and World PvP.
It'll take you x times longer (per acct) to get PvP gear which equals more $$ for blizzard.
I still sent in my complaint, yet like most of you have already said it'll make ZERO difference to blizzard.
Not going to BlizzCon
NS
..... s l o w l y getting there
They knew the impact to multiboxing and they were comfortable with it. I understand their desire to stealth nerf to try and catch more bots, but I think it's a poor decision to surprise players. I don't disagree with their decision, boxing was pissing lots of peeps off.
I cancelled my accounts. I could try to do arena, but without a good way to get honor (other than botting) they won't ever be able to gear-up enough to step in.
Onto better RL things, though I still plan on visiting DB.com often!

I'm going to blizzcon with 4 other fat nerds that look like me and will clump up about 10 paces behind and they will all carry signs that say something protesty and follow me all day doing exactly what I do. Every once in awhile ill have to do a figure 8 to pick 1 up that lags behind. That'll get their attention.

It's just so illogical what they have done, removing /follow to break bots that don't use /follow to function *shakes head
I work in local government so I am used to stupid shit occuring in the name of governance/process/policy/politics but this lack of logic is something even we would baulk at.
It is what it is though, looks like the vocal forum idiots got their way in the end.

We disabled /follow from use in battlegrounds to curb some of the most basic types of bots that use the command. We chose not to communicate it beforehand in attempts to catch as many bots unaware as possible. Removing /follow in battlegrounds is one small change we can make immediately to stop a number of bots, and those that choose to transition to more overt botting methods will have a much higher chance of being caught and banned.
We did consider those who use /follow for other reasons, including multiboxing, before making the change. Multiboxing in battlegrounds has been a long-fought battle within the community, as the effect of multiboxers in those situations is considered unfavorable by many. When we were looking to make a change to disable a command used by bots, which would benefit the game as a whole, we were ok with it also resulting in multiboxing in battlegrounds also going away due to the poor experience it can create for others.
Right now /follow is also disabled in Arenas, but we’re looking to revert that change as bots don’t typically exist in Arenas, and multiboxing in that kind of pre-determined group environment doesn’t tend to be as disruptive.

We could all mass bombard mr street's twitter to at least get it back into arenas.

If you're gona screw with my sig at least leave the thing bolded :P
I did that last night
Let me do it again i guess. But I also cancelled six of my accounts... so I am voting with my bottom line, the only line they as a company care about.
Well I am so glad I quit already, cause this is the nail in the coffin for me.
It was a good run.
Off to Starcraft II Heart of the Swarm I go.
Without a good way to get honor gear first though, how many people would bother with arenas.
