Warcraft loses 1.3 million subscribers over the last 3 months.

HELL YEAH!!! I'm so happy they lost so much. I hope they all die in a fire. That's what they deserve for screwing loyal customers.

Are people still mad about /follow being removed?

I think the /follow thing put a nice big dent in the subs..

Your joking right? Of course they are still upset. If you do not care for PvP, or BGs to be more specific, then the /follow thing is not a big deal. Just think of it this way, how would you feel if they took /follow away from whatever game your playing? Now you might say somthing defensive like " I would just stop giving them my money, i wouldn't cry about it" But for anyone who LOVEs multiboxing, taking /follow away is very painful. So be a bit more sensitive to people who invested their hard earned money, time and emotions into a style of play ( boxing BGs in WoW ) they loved.

People will be upset about that nerf for years to come..even as the pain subsides and they have long since moved on. It was the biggest kick in the nuts, stab in the heart nerf Bliz has ever done that "effects" multiboxers. ( after publicly supporting the play style for years )

I was playing WoW at the time, and had been for years. I haven't even done a heroic instance since WotLK, let alone any pve... so yes, the removal of follow was a 'kick in the pants.'

That is exactly what I say. I'm not going to get worked up over a change at helped the game overall just because it is an inconvenience to our niche play-style. Blizzard has NEVER EVER done anything to support us. They allowed us to do what we do because it would be illogical not to do so. Every change they made to the game that helped us was not put in for us. The game was designed in a way that was very easy to multibox, and more of these features have been removed than added. I wouldn't be surprised if many ninja nerfs to the game are not directly related to their use by multiboxers (click ,,,,,, macros come to mind.)

If you're so emotionally invested into a video game that you froth at the mouth when something like the removal of the follow command happens, then you need to step away from the keyboard and evaluate what really matters to you.

In the end, I am quite satisfied that Blizzard has done what it has. While they may not have my money anymore, they are taking steps to improve the gaming experience for 99% of its player base.

Completely agree. Blizz multiple times have been quoted as saying'tolerated' but never supported. In any case there are manu more games you can mb as proved by this community so why so upset? Ultimately you're just chasing for the mext big thing, the ultimate potential, the big shiny pixel that will make the game better. Its kinda a reflection on current society. Theres a brilliant book out called "the age of absurdity", definitely worth a read.
