Follow In Battlegrounds Broken After 5.2

[Rosebud]

Why would I need to do the honor grind? I have full 2/2 gear from S12. Only time I will need to do the honor grind is next expansion or if I bring up a new team. I only box 2/3 in arena and I enjoy the challenge and I have done well except this season where I got rocked pretty hard mostly, but S8-S11 I did pretty good. I also play arenas and rbgs solo alot as well.

Why would I gear up just to aoe people to death in AV like all the other mouthbreathers completely devoid of any challenge. That doesnt make sense to me, but whatever floats their boat.

I like pvp, but I hate arenas and would never do them. My characters do not have any pvp gear yet as I just finished leveling. I could buy some crafted, but I'd just get destroyed in arenas, which I hate anyway. My favorite is random battlegrounds. I'm just a dual-boxer, so I doubt that me wanting to play in bgs is really aoeing people to death. I would have to just take them in one at a time, but I paid for the second account and Isboxer in order to dual box. So, for me, it is paying for half of the game content - even less because dual boxing doesn't let me solo raids/dungeons.

Well one option that I did even before the follow fiasco with only dual boxing, is I have two monitors so I just had each character full screen and didnt have to swap monitors. I just took control of each going back and forth when I wanted. I did this alot with double mages since I hated turning to face the target and it worked great. I used the raf mount and didnt really use follow alot, like I do with melee.

I'm probably not all that versed in dual boxing to do that successfully. I do have melee too. In battlegrounds it seems so awkward since an area of battle requires so much movement. Mounting just to move to the other end of a skirmish seems awkward. It probably isn't for experienced players. Guess I could just defend something but if I only defend, which I know can be helpful. I'd probably get reported.

It's sort of a big deal to me. IF I had known this was going to happen a few months ago, I wouldn't have purchased another account/games, and I wouldn't have subbed for three years to Isboxer. I accepted not soloing dungeons or raids, but I had quests and bgs. Now, I just have quests. Exciting, right?

Yea it sucks, but if it gets rid of the boxers who run random bgs even after they are already honor geared or higher who then are essentially greiefing players. These players who are usually in green+blues and are using random bgs for the intended purpose of getting geared up (almost like using a book for dummies) then I see the change only as a plus. Its also in my opinion on what brought the change about.
