Wow NPC Companions, Followers, Mercenaries, Sidekicks

Wow Companions, Followers, Mercenaries, Sidekicks. Or call them anything else. I’m referring to NPC Computer controlled Characters you can form a group with not just in the dungeons but in the regular questing world.

Now that Follower Dungeon NPC teammates have been utilized. I would like Wow to incorporate these NPCs in all of Azeroth. So that we have companionship and help for quests everywhere, all the time.

These Npc’s could be hired at major cities like at taverns. Or they could be recruited after doing a short quest for them.

I would love to see this implemented.

Oof, everything in the overworld is already braindead, I feel like we shouldn’t be encouraging it to be made even worse lol.

But why?‎ ‎

We had bodyguards in Legion, if they wanted it they would’ve kept it

Get friends. NPCs fail at this terribly.

They were so bad. You’d finish killing something and they’d run halfway across the zone to go kill something else.

That seems like it would be fun for people and harmless for others so sure. World companions already existed in legion so it’s obviously possible. We didn’t have them in BFA though, I don’t know if that was for some specific reason.

I really liked the followers. One wish I always had was to be able to use them on other maps while playing solo, but instead of using characters from the game’s history like those from Legion, i would prefer to use the skins of my other characters instead.

One of the reasons I play ESO is the companion system with 2 new ones every year. I even wrote a companion guide on their forums, but I ended up perma-banned so I wont be able to update it anymore.

Accessing your followers from your Legion Class Hall would be fun!
