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

[Tonuss]

Instead of a petition, write them a letter or email explaining what you want and why. A long list of digital "yes" or "no" doesn't have as much impact as a well-written letter, and if they get enough of those they'll understand that there is enough interest to consider a change. If there isn't enough interest, it's just as well that they leave things as they are.

The new PVP zone in the next expansion might be a blessing for multiboxers, though I wonder if it will be a problem on those servers where there are multiple 10+ boxers who team up. Solo players may find it aggravating that even with population balancing, the group of ten to twenty people they managed to talk into forming a raid has little chance against the 30 to 80 character juggernaut that is rolling through the zone and annihilating everything in its path. On the other hand, multiboxers who aren't very good at PVP aren't taking up five slots out of ten or fifteen and making things tougher on their side because they suck or are just dumb. I always stayed out of BGs because I am just not a PVPer, but that new zone could be a way to try it out without disrupting the experience for others (aside from providing an easy five HKs at a time).

So they removed follow.. now if they removed the interact with target function would people still be boxing bg's? If they had enough complaints I think removing that would be next.

it use CRZ to help population balancing nothing can be 50/50, i think the 10+ or the really big boxers will have a lot to deal with there is some npcs and other stuff groups could use to slow down the boxers.

i Don't feel it be a problem for them to remove it. If they wonted us out the game (removing itw ctm or even /follow) is pointless its kinda simple to get us out. We be gone done for end of story game over. A simple change of TOS and start giving us the ban hammer once about half of us get banned for doing it am sure we get the hint we not welcome!

I really care less about /follow being removed - AV and IOC horde loses 90% of the time anyways - after so many years horde still suck at it -been playing since vanilla and never had alliance char passed level 5+ I remember that day when AV (horde) cave got pushed back So we can't rush anymore- either you box or not. AB, is pretty much impossible to win - unless you get help from others WSG i can see a win- if you stack DKS on top with healer and just pug it. others get the flag back so you can cap it....

This thread is a steaming pile of shit.


All these 'negative' traits that posters are accusing multiboxers of having are just as prevalent in the non-multiboxing community. Don't kid yourselves.

I only box for conquest points now. Honestly I would quit if I could max conquest x 5 classes that I like reliably.

With the oQueue premades, and the Rathamus Vent server, the premade side (boxers or not) was winning closer to 99%.
In a season of play, the only close games were against other premades.
There wasn't a single loss in that time.

The issue wasn't boxers blowing people up (obviously, there was at least one boxer in any game I played... usually two or three 5-box teams), it was coordinated teams against uncoordinated teams.
There were/are alliance side premades too, probably with very similar results.

This game is full of toxic people, no doubt. I deal with it all the time.

The difference is the toxic, abusive, annoying solo players didn't fill X additional slots, have the ability to insta-kick anyone who looked at them the wrong way, downvote themselves from being kicked. And even so a lot of the toxic solo players, while trolling and being morons in instance/bg chat, at least usually contribute something. You know - the douchebag dps/tank/heal who had a bad day, at least performing some role... saying kick this low hps healer, kick that guy, kick this tank he got gouged by He, etc. is rarely the guy at the bottom of the list (they try not to draw attention since they're trying to get a carry).

Not going to deny that alliance has a big advantage in AV, but these are my AV stats on 4 different toons, matter of fact is that every toon I play has a positive win ratio for AV. I've never joined those big premades but 1 evening, for the last stats there will be a couple where I queued up with 1 or 2 friends, doing a random bg for points and get AV before the ban. On the last one 62% overall win ration and 57% for AV, which is close enough.

My point being as a solo player you can have a big impact on the typical AV outcome.
