Did they change how the Auto Follow System works?

I've been playing for a few days, and back in the day the Auto Follow system worked in a way, that it followed the path the player took, however, now, it seems like it wants to go in a direct line to the player I am following.

This change isn't good, and causes me to have to re-set my auto follow to the point where I'm not using it anymore.

Is this just me, or has this always been the case. It seems to have changed, has anyone else noticed, I didn't see anything in the patch notes, but perhaps I missed it.

Thanks,

I've always noticed it tries to follow the player since launch, quite annoying.

Of HW, or ARR?

In ARR they had it great, where it followed the path and didn't run directly at the player. Perhaps this is a setting that might have gotten switched on me. I loved the Path Follow... But direct route follow is awful IMO, I keep losing follow... Anyone else know what I am talking about?

They changed it a few patches ago (2.4 or 2.5) and yeah, it's quite annoying

Bummer. Ya, my group took a break around 2.4 and while I played for the story and was ready for HW I didn't do much following. Now that we are all working our way back to the game, this is quite annoying. I wish it was a setting, I'll dig around to see if it is, the old way was so much better.
