Remove the follow command on TLP

Blocking the ability to follow on TLP servers should diminish the amount of people trying to circumvent true box code.

No. It would only punish those who are honestly abiding by the truebox code restrictions.

Holy crapola is this one a good suggestion. Might as well remove any form of currency from the world so we can diminish the amount of people trying to illegally purchase drugs.

Agreed this is a great suggestion. This belongs with suggestions such as,

Bring Back Corpse Runs!

We know everyone would love to spend hours of their limited adult time trying to retrieve their corpse from a freshly respawned zone full of things that want them dead and can see invis.

Uhh....guys....the people who use automation have a function of /follow that is better than /follow. That would not affect them at all.

Actually, getting rid of the ability to trade money between players might help ...

Kronos could still be gifted or traded for items, and bartering really would be bartering for items ... Looting items may take a much different flavor after that.

How do you people come up with all this nonsense? Surely this is a troll post?

Most of the people circumventing the truebox code aren't even using the /follow command. The program they use has a /sticky command and you can tell the difference in how the boxes are following the main toon around. All bunched up on top of each other and never out of sync? That's the /sticky command and that's what I see the most of with people boxing more than one extra toon. With the /follow command they're not all bunched on top of each other and tend to spread out a bit.

if they were serious about having a server with no, or very limited boxing, this is a good idea. i wouldnt be opposed, despite the fact that i actually box occasionally myself.

then you just ban the people using the obvious 3rd party software to follow on said server

They should get rid of autoattack so you have to manually hit attack each time.

Why does this remind me of how laws are passed in California? I am not surprised at all that this was suggested. This way of thinking is cancer.

That would make it even easier to identify them then if they were the only ones with a way to follow others.

Its like youve never actually tested this or played the game. You just spew misinformation like its true.

Why does a server have to be anti-boxing instead of just anti-3rd-party-assists?

Active enforcement would require money being spent on hiring more GM's.

He's not wrong. It wasn't misinformation.

This, do we really think there is going to be an army of GM's looking for people using the /stick command?

Guess what, they can already see the difference if they care. As another poster pointed out, it is pretty obvious to spot if you know what to look for.

They are Truebox servers, not "Make it as hard as possible to box" servers.

/follow isn't being abused by people attempting to circumvent true box. People are boxing on TLPs, and using multiple computers to do so. I have 5 set up myself, though I typically 3 box. Also, I don't play any mages. I run that scary game-breaking combo of zerker-druid-beastlord. Oh nos!

Seems like a likely setup for the gamebreaking /follow code. Admit it, you use it!
