NPC Following Quests - Overly complex don't we think?

The circles are fine. What's wrong with an obvious visual indicator?

We already have NPC following quests. Have had for years. They jsut disappear between WPs. which are sparkly destionations.
So why all the nonsense now that sometimes they walk along with you? Totally uncessary complexity and eye candy. Breaks immersion.

On the contrary, I loved the fact that the characters were actually accompanying me rather than walking off and leaving me behind every time.

This is a game, I am here to be amused, and the eye candy is there to amuse me.

Just to be clear. I'm not dissing the current scheme of the NPCs actually following you. I'm just pointing out that now that you can use a Crystal and Mounts if outside cities, we don't need the circles and black warning boxes. Just have the NPCs follow you. Great. I agree that NPCs following is cool.
