Donate for VIP. EQBC and MoveUtils or AdvPath should do what you want. Other more enhanced macros also have following as one of their many features.

I have never had any (speed) problems with EQ's built in auto follow if you are running the accounts on different computers. If you are running multiple accounts on one computer, though, usually your account which is selected and "on the top" is running full speed, while the others will not be. Getting a good autofollow macro might not make a noticeable difference. However, a simple one I made has no maximum distance built in, so it won't shut off if you get out of range, unlike EQ's built-in one. Although that might make it more noticeable to people that you are using something besides EQ's regular auto follow if you get way out of range from the person you're following, and are still running towards them.

I have had this problem in 2 cases..

1) One the follower is slow.. ( no sow, different run speeds )

2) If you are on a dual core or quad core system , for some reason both sessions ended up on the same core once and the follower was extremely lagged.


Even with the Mq2 follow it sucked...
