    Its not like its hard to defeat a boxer by fearing their lead account and a coordinated group on voice chat can easily replicate our tagetting and hard hitting abilities.

    woukd be nice to get follow back.
    When they removed combat /follow in warmode they couldnt have been more blatant that they were targeting multiboxers specifically in pvp. If it were because of bots, they would have did the same in non-warmode. Someone working at blizzard today doesnt like us. Hopefully they are gone soon and the new expansions and patches just leave it out and let us play.

    My guess is it's the same person who removed 5v5

    Years back when the /follow issue first came up I left a suggestion with them that would work for us.

    1. Reenable /follow everywhere for toons on the same battle.net account.
    2. Add scaling penalties for each concurrent character on the same battle.net account. Like damage nerfs as more toons get added.

    This way you could choose the penalty as-is which is loss of follow on your deathball or have all /follow functionality back in all content with scaling penalties the more you have. Such that with 8 concurrent sessions you might be doing 2/3rds the damage you currently do.

    Ideally you should be able to dual box and have no penalties anywhere. It's just short sighted to punish a dual boxer the same as a 40 boxer.

    To play devil's advocate, they could've entirely removed /follow when War Mode was enabled, but they didn't. Presumably, it was more work to jump through the hoops that they did to keep it, since an outright removal would've likely been much easier to accomplish, just like in battlegrounds.
    Do not send me a PM if what you want to talk about isn't absolutely private.
    Ask your questions on the forum where others can also benefit from the information.
