Not working... hrm..

[thinus]

Your post was "I wonder why /follow [target=name] and such don't work." My response was because "/follow name" does.

And the way you stated it has no bearing on anything, I'm sure. Plus, clearly, I made it to level 32 without even knowing that. Go figure.

I have no idea who you are, what level you are, what experience you have and frankly I don't care. You posted a question, I posted an answer. I sometimes get so caught up in my macros that I try to do the complicated and fail miserably while the obvious is staring me in the face. If you want intelligent responses to your questions then phrase your questions that way. Again, I can't read your mind, only what you type.

Instead of taking the comment in good humour and rephrasing your question *you* chose to read it negatively and respond negatively and you continue to argue your weak case where I should have magically judged your intelligence and experience. Perhaps you should put a disclaimer at the end of your posts with your IQ, MENSA membership no and that all your questions should be pondered extensively and intelligently responded to as the questions may look simple at face value but actually require deep thinking into the motivation and reason behind the question.

It was a simple question and I gave a simple answer and you exploded into a froth at the mouth rage because you see the response as an attack on your intelligence or something equally stupid. Are you insecure about your intelligence?

However Blizzard writes and defines the mechanics for the macros, they wrote /follow in such a way as to not allow [target=target] and along with it, the modifiers and conditionals you can add with it. They did it for a reason, perhaps to alleviate some potential botting/automation issue, who knows, I sure as heck don't, thus the question.

And now you have established context for your question and people can respond "intelligently" to your question. Why didn't you just explain this in your first response instead of popping a vein?

You asked *why* it doesn't work, I answered your question. If you think the answers to your questions are mindless dribble perhaps you should ask different questions.

Again, the way you answer the question bears a lot of meaning behind it. The way you posed the response, and the response itself, indicate that you either think the question was very stupid, or that I must have very little understanding of how a simple command such as /follow operates.

I don't know if you are stupid or not and I don't know if you are familiar with how a simple command such as /follow operates.

Quite frankly I found the response insulting.

There is nothing insulting in the post except what *you* read into it.

People like you who post something like that, which is quite painfully clear to anyone who's multi-boxed for a level or two, are posting simply for the sake of posting, and not adding anything to the actual discussion.

And you responding the way you did and continue to do is not adding anything to the discussion either, yet here you are doing more of it. And "people like me"? You know me, do you? For someone that reads insults into comments so easily and have brain hemorrhages about it you sure do sling those insults every which way.

If you were confused what I was getting at, you could have asked for elaboration.

I wasn't confused, your question was very clear. If you don't like the answers to your questions perhaps *you* should phrase your questions better or rephrase instead of throwing your toys out of the cot.

If you didn't have an answer to my question, you could have not posted at all, yet you decide to post with:

Perhaps because..

/follow name

works...?

I did have an answer to your question.

Which, in my opinion, is useless, mindless dribble that doesn't serve any purpose in advancing the discussion.

Yet, it is an answer to the question you asked. To quote "I, Robot":
I'm sorry. My responses are limited. You must ask the right questions.
