Followers...Really?

Isn't that what grouping with friends are for? Would this not then take the social aspect away more?

Indeed it would, which is why most, if not all, MMOs have steered away from this feature, except for Class Based MMOs (WoW, Rift, Final Fantasy, etc) where having a "'pet" is part of the class mechanic.

In a post-apocalyptic game world, this just doesn't make enough sense unless they plan on incorporating classes. I hope they never do....

Exactly. I understand what Trion is trying to do. Why they are trying a different system and mechanics on top of being a shooter MMO. I guess we're in agreement with my original message.

Keep this game different. Don't add little creatures. It'll take what seriousness is in the game out.
