Coat Tail Riders... This happen to others??

[Deshu]

This doesn't pertain to just multiboxers but I've never really had this happen to me when solo playing.

On four seperate occasions when bringing my group down a road, and obviously headed to a town, I have picked up a straggler who /follows one of my mains and then goes afk. I talk to them, and no response. Later on, I get a message from them telling me they were afk and thanks for the lift.

lol.. wth!!

I could be mean and cause them to die or angel them off a cliff somehow... or get them stuck on an obstacle but usually I'm not far from town and I've come to just accept this now.

Anyone else get this or do this?

lol i've never had anyone /follow, they usually just follow me around like "how do you clone yourself" or "how can i hax like that?"

I get these guys in AV. I do my best to run them in the enemy's path and get them stuck.

Happens to me once or twice a day, usually in Stormwind for some strange reason.

Yep, from time to time when I was question I had a few people.

I was in Honor Hold and someone followed me for about 15 minutes so I mounted up, he also mounted up and continued to follow me. About 30-45 minutes later I was talking to a GM. This guy was still following me. Five minutes after chatting to the GM he left.

Some people are just idiots!

Only happened once. I was running to Desolace and I had 3 people just /follow. I laughed to myself when their afk tag popped up, too lazy to say anything. I rock up to the FP in Desolace, they spring back to life and tip me for an 'excellent shuttle service'. Amused me anyway

Haha I'll pay that...pretty clever.

I've had similar...this guy below followed me alllllll the way from Aldor inn to Altruis at the far west end of Nagrand. Course, I was on the "Fly on a Netherdrake to survey the camps" quest so I took off all at once and made a smart remark that I had dragons too to him...still no reply, and when I landed he was gone lol

[Fuzzyboy]

Just happened to me in AV actually. This guys is talking trash (when he sees me he starts going "go home multibox nub" and "loser" etc., the usual), so I just put him on /ignore, no biggie, but then he consequently /follows me around during this and the next to AVs. He mounts up to follow so I know he's at the keyboard - wth is up with that, haha.

Anyway, my ignorelist is closing in on the limit - how do you guys handle that? Also, there was a lot of trashtalk in /bg too - even before the BG had started. Do you guys just turn off /bg or answer back or ignore it?

For some reason, the very first week I started doing AV (I didn't bother with it until 70) I had someone put me on follow and pretty much afk. They usually would start fighting eventually, but they just say there til i got down to near the RH. And then it just sort of stopped and I haven't had it happen in weeks.

Oh, I do still get it in IF sometimes. I'll just be mounted up and running back and forth jumping around on my mounts, and someone will just put me on follow. I once had three people following me in addition to my two clones.
