I can't Box in BG's? (mop)

So I was just in my first bg on Frostwolf and I had no idea this was gonna happen, but it seems i can't put my slave to follow me. I tested many things out, i tried to follow others and get my slave to follow others, but it seems it can't be done. Am I mistaken here or is there a work around to this? I really wanna use both my priest in a bg together, but now it feels like garbage that I can't. Anyone have any ideas on what's going on? I'd appreciate any kind of feedback?

Just found this thread on the retail forums. QQ QQ

Havent experienced it yet myself - but yes they disabled /follow in BGs in MOP expansion - specifically to remove multiboxers from BGs.

There was talk of a workaround to this by using a battle pet or something like that? It might have been a specific one, I am not sure.
I believe you were supposed to get that specific battle pet and then you could have your slaves follow the pet.

I also then heard that this battle pet was removed, so some players have it and others who dont already have it - can no longer get it.

I cant confirm the above info though ^^^^

Anyone who can?

Its possible with two pets. "Ethereal Soul-Trader" and "Alterac Brew Pup" but both pets arent available.
"Ethereal Soul-Trader" used to be available in the vote shop before the moltdown but sadly not anymore.

U can interact with these pets so when u use CTM+IWT on the Soul-Trader the toons will walk in a straight line to the pet while the pet is following its master.
For more info watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_aXlVjZ8s8 it explains it better than i do...

Totally untrue, there's a post from Bashiok (Blizzard CM for WoW) stating they did it to help/catch bots in bg's and dungeons, it was just a side effect that they elemenated MB and they were willing to live with it as there were players that complained about MB'ing.

I just saw the thread today, but i can't seem to find it, if i come across it again i'll link it for you guys.

But how do we get them to put the pets back into the shop? :( Buy them lunch?

Follow disabled only at bg and ashran. At arena, dungeons, raids follow still available.

As for pets, i got my ethereal on 1 account, and next 3 days this pet disappear(ofc from marketplace, not my account). I guess they will get them back as soon as pet battle get full work and will available at Frostwolf. Archeology working?

Actually yes you are right.
I read the same thread by the head blizz GM.
They "appologized for the inconvenience caused" to multiboxers - but still didnt fix it.
I dont play retail so am not sure if they have fixed it in WoD.....but yes - it was aimed at botters. Sadly however, that still screwed us multiboxers.

Yes. /follow command is disabled in BGs starting from MoP. That is why all multiboxers are playing Cata or WoTLK. However it is still possible to follow on BGs in Panda.
You should try to use program called oFollow https://solidice.com/downloads/windows/ofollow. I didn't use it personally but some people say that it works on BGs. Although it is following not so smoothly as original built in /follow command.

If you will decide to use it, please post here the results.

Good luck.

checked out that program.
it doesnt really look all that legit.

read some forums hearing that it still mimicked /follow by using a small 1-pixel ingame overlay on each screen to add left/right movement keys and keep the boxed chars following you - basically manually. (it mimicks your forward/back keys, and does left/right to keep them following you)

this is borderline botting functionality because it is doing more than one key = one action.
so - i wont be using this.

i guess MOP is out of the question for BG's anyway.
sad :(

oFollow is allowed
