Ok time to get back on track. I emailed support@blizzard.com with this

Hi, I am emailing to plea on behalf of multiboxers who run battlegrounds and depend on the follow command. You claim that the follow command is a usefull command for botting. Now I'm sure botters will have other intelligent means of bypassing the need to use the follow command. Whats next? Removing follow in PVE areas? I hope not. I PVE and I multibox 5 accounts.

Now you may think its no many but there are multiboxers leaving world of warcraft due to the removal of the feature because of this. I'm sure you've lost alot more accounts due to this change than those who quit from being killed in pvp by a multiboxer. Besides on a PVP server it doesn't stop people from doing world pvp anyway.


If your claim that the feature is to be removed due to botting, then give account exceptions to multiboxers then. Many players who multibox range from 2 accounts, 3 accounts, 5 accounts and very very many at 10-15 accounts. Now all those legitimate players spent hundreds of hours if not Thousands of hours on leveling, gearing, grinding, and completing countless amounts of dailies, and achievements to qualify for certain raids, battlegrounds, and arenas. This is a huge blow to a sizable portion of your player base. It is hardly a good business practace to hinder that customer base.


Before I was a multiboxer I played one account. I would join a battleground durring my leveling process of my main toon. I would follow a healer using the /follow command while I did some changes to my action bar after passing a level from questing, so I could keep up with the group.


So please revert, or allow the follow command in battlegrounds.


Thank you

Not sure if this will have any effect, however if we all just send emails like this every week or few days, perhaps they will give it back to us.

Can't hurt to try.
