[COMMAND] FOLLOW and GROUP

Post by Raona » Sat Mar 29, 2014 11:23 pm

It looks like, at present, FOLLOW will cause you to leave your current group, with potentially disastrous consequences if AoE spells are in play. I've added a caution about that to the GROUP helpfile, but it was suggested, and I think I agree, that it might make more sense for FOLLOW to not break your current grouping, even if it means you split from the leader. Thoughts?

I agree entirely, though Ideally, I do think "Follow Self" should break group.

Agreed, so long as one can leave the group without relying on the leader to do so.

Exactly. That's why I thought "Follow self" should stay, in the absence of a "group leave" command.

I totally agree with everything said here.

Such is the rule of honor.
