Follow In Battlegrounds Broken After 5.2

[Emenems]

Yeah blizz broke /follow because they dont want us so even if u find new way to multibox they still dont want us there...

[Owltoid]

To be clear, Blizz did not break /follow to stop multiboxers, they broke it to stop some bots. They stated they knew the ramifications on multiboxers and were fine with the collateral damage. Multiboxers were NOT the stated target.

That was me. My 5-man Snusnu dwarf rogue team. I'm playing them on the stream for a couple more hours tonight.

I was wathcing his stream:

- Strafe keys
- Strafe keys
- Strafe keys
- Shadowstep AV mobs to lineup toons.
- Running to walls with strate keys to re-sync group or to change facing direction
- If group spread out use AV trinket to teleport
- Don't touch: turn left / turn right buttons

I think he means how to set it up, I myself am very hopeless when these kind of things come up and often need guidance the the Wiki linked into ISboxer didnt help much at all.

I gave up on AV but there is a ton of other stufffs to do.

Plus I really feel that running less then 27 at a time is foolish for me.

Doing Sha of Anger and Galleon once a week, and trying to do Oondasta.

I'v done the single character quest for isle of thunder on 5 guys so far (dks are op lol ...) and those guys can do PVP Dailies:

Sure they took AV but there is no shortage of PvP even on a pve server with those dailies, as they send you into the other sides base camp.

[Invisahealz]

there is definitely no shortage of world pvp, been having quite some fun but need to find a faster way to get the honor gear now.

I bought GW2 today, gonna play that some. I'm burnt out on MoP. It just feels like a job for not much fun pve-wise, I had started doing BGs before 5.2 hit. I tried single player BGs and didn't have fun, and I tried raiding single player but with my job can't keep a schedule. Not any friends really that play anymore sooo... Think I'm done with WoW for now. Ill say /follow when I cancel my subs.

There is no reason to avoid AV. I think anyone who watched my stream yesterday can attest to me playing at 90% capacity of what I could do prior to the removal of /follow. If you have a melee team, and a two or three person mount that can be interacted with, then BGs are still viable. I'll be streaming more on Monday if you want to see it in action or discuss how it's done. I have already farmed over half my honor gear, including weapons, in a few days.

Quite frankly, I think all BGs are viable again with the right team (rogues or DKs will make it much easier, but other melee is good too). The only thing stopping me from just doing randoms is I need more gear and I need to work on my rogue rotations.

Before my subs ran out I did av without follow. My team was about 70% less effective at helping the team. I defended the flag for awhile. Once I got the frostwolf insignia I used it to defend the base. With IWT the shaman could still kill people but it was much less effective without follow. You can still earn honor and get gear. I don't really see what the point in gearing them up would be. It's not like you can do arenas or have fun in bg's like before. I almost stayed to pve but decided to quit instead. The majority of my teams are pvp based. My Dk team, warrior team, mage team, and two 5 shaman teams on different servers would be a complete waste of time with the change. That would leave me with my two pve teams. I imagine my multiboxer days are over.
