When and why did Blizzard do away with /follow in battlegrounds?

[Tin]

same reason they disable follow on wPVP now... they just don't want boxers pvping, because it is an unfair advantage.

Unfortunately, a small group of players can ruin it for many,

24+ multiboxes in wPVP or an entire team that takes over a battleground and ruins the experience for others.

And after we got tokens to paid for our playing time and looting has changed. 2x4 farming has become the new thing and we've have seen a massive explosion of multiboxing players, who is only multiboxing for gold.

And now we see zone disturbing ban.

And now we see zone disturbing ban.

To be fair, that really isn't new, it's just more visible lately due to the A) number of people that semi-AFK farm hyperspawns, B) certain streamers, and C) the modern powerful PCs that let you run a lot more than 5 accounts. That said, we used to raid alliance cities and zones on Magtheridon back when that was the main multiboxer server and we never got banned for "zone disruption" or "PVPing while multiboxing" or what not.
