Command: Dismiss

Command: Dismiss

Many of us find we have a slight annoyance when we have lead someone to a location and they may have stepped AFK. We attempt to leave, follow someone else, and/or generally go back about our business but cannot without unwillingly dragging someone else along on a trip.

It would nice to be able to "dismiss" followers and be FREE! :)

Thanks for your time and consideration with this suggestion.

A configuration option of

Code: Select all

config +nofollow
and

Code: Select all

config -nofollow
might be a good approach to this concern.
I would also like to see the "follow" helpfile expanded to include whether "follow" is or is not permissible in a PvP setting.

As someone who has had to go AFK (and was probably following someone), I can tell you how annoying I have been! But really, I think this is a good option--either the toggle or the command. In concerns to PvP, I would say that maybe it should require an AFK flag or something like that to dismiss someone? I don't know the standing on follow in PvP either, but it seems a little.. iffy to me.
