Is it possible to autofollow 1 person in raid?

    So, I ported to feerott and there were 20+ people auto following 1 toon, is this possible were they just trolling? All had super weird names and in same guild.

    I'm trying to think of a reason why you'd think it wasn't possible, but I got nothing.

    Because there is not an option to autofollow someone who is not in your group? So how would 20 people all be autofollowing 1 person, unless there is some command or UI i am unaware of. In my original question it says 20 people auto following 1 person, so isn't it a pretty clear and basic reason why I would think it wasn't possible given the basic commands? I will try to type it out slower next time.

    Explains it, suprising that they would do it with a full raid.

    Watching his whole raid huddled in a corner trying contested vox was entertaining.

    Cheaters have been using third-party automation software to run raids for a long time now. If you see this going on, you can always get screenshots, a list of toon names, try to talk to the members of the raid, and use /report if anything is said that warrants it, then follow up with a Support Ticket.

    There's so much of this that goes on that I usually don't bother to report it unless the bot army is messing with me, hogging something I need, etc. If they are blocking you from contested Vox, then it's worth petitioning.

    Well, I don't think we can kill it but if they were doing vox, they can kill mobs like venekor and other x4 contesteds no problem. Would suck if they take those away from people.

    Laughed so much seeing a 6 boxer with 4 necros, a troubi and may be a healer. The 4 pico-iksar skelies were so cute.

    For real though, you can get suspended for interfering with "boxers" or reporting them, so you might want to skip that.
    An old guildmate of mine got suspended for reporting and pulling mobs on to a "box" group in current expansion contested zone.

    Boxing is perfectly fine. Botting (which looks like boxing but which uses verboten third party automation software) is not fine. If the person is truly boxing, then if you kept reporting it, that would understandably annoy the GMs. If you only use /report, then the GMs never saw anything. You do a /report then a /petition if you want GM action.

    You said your friend was "pulling mobs on to a 'box' group in current expansion contested zone"... well, training mobs onto other people or attempting to disrupt their gameplay is also against the rules, and if the person who was trained reported the friend, the friend probably got in hot water. It is never right to break the rules yourself, no matter what anyone else is doing.

    Lol at people who manually box or at people who think that people manually box.

    On Nagafen, DBG demonstrated that they could detect that stuff and were quite harsh with permanent bans. Y'never know when they'll decide to do that on Live.

    Not really, it is because Kannkor showed them. Personally I encourage "boxers", unless they mess with contested, which is what daybreak said they would pursue action for.

    I don't know why you white knight about reporting people. No matter what the developers say, botting is allowed on all servers other than event servers. There are only two software packages for EQ2, it wouldn't be hard to ban everyone using them, as has already been demonstrated on Nagafen. I know how much fun botting is, but I really wish it was restricted to Live, it does significant damage to the economy of a new server.
