Can we get some support maybe petition to get /follow back in wow Bg's??

I'd be happy if they just put /follow back in the 40 man BGs, and let any size group queue for that size. But it's never gonna happen. World PvP, and the new PvP zone is where it's at now.

We can't really say that for sure. My guess is that you'll still need to grind bgs to get the gear, or you'll just get facerolled. I doubt they'll add some function that will let you skip the long grinding - they put those grinds in on purpose to keep people playing.

I'm happy they removed it to be honest.

I really feel they should have just banned multiboxer who were farming the system to level toons, farm honor / otherwise exploit BGs. (this would fall under their "ruining the spirit of the game clause)

I did quite a bit of battlegrounds back when I was playing - I sucked horribly at arenas, so I stayed out of them - but I did pretty damn good in BGs. I did a lot of 5 man AV where I actually tank / healed and DPS'd the NPC objectives. I did 4+1 WSG where I actually got the Ironman achievement (I think thats what it was called?) with my bro twice (one toon captures all three flags in one game). Did a lot of crazy stuff in AB as well. And whatever that 20 man one was? the Nexus? Ya. had a ton of fun there performing multiple roles. Basically figure out where the rest of your is good/bad at, and fill in the gaps.

Its about knowing your role as part of the bigger team. 5 toons in AV doing nothing kills the "team". If you can't do your part, you have no business there (GTFO). 5 toons playing badly in WSG DESTROYS the game for team unless you really know your sh!t (and the rest of your team knows what your capable of, strengths and weaknesses included).

Unfortunately, blizzard took the scorched earth approach. Where the bad boxers ruined it for everyone. Pretty lame.

Oh well. There is plenty of other crap still to 'box in WoW. Enjoy boxing while it lasts - complainers on the forums win the devs over in the long run. This thread is proof of that enough.

actually it doesnt matter if multiboxers are good or bad because if your good the other side complains if you're bad your side complains, in the end you got an equal amount of people hating you, so I dont see the point where this would affect blizzards decision

they've also brought back follow in arenas and (for me) that supports their intention to hurt bot users

after all we knew it could end every day, every expansion, same goes for follow in open world / pvp zones

Ya, I had a post in the early days of the Burning Crusade expansion on the official forums where someone was hating on multiboxes and saying this and that. I pointed out to them that removing /follow from the game would pretty much kill off 99% of the boxer population. And that was before the click to move / interact with target thing worked.
