Having an auto follow system in place helps players that group with friends so they keep them going to the same place. This is useful for navigating in areas with multiple paths so that players can remain together and help each other. Grouping is encouraged by showing new players where things are for example. And when a player doesn’t know how to get some place, it’s better to show them instead of telling them sometimes. An auto follow system would enhance the game.
There are some players that seem to believe that an auto follow system helps bots. But as we all know there have been many reports of bots and gold spammers in the Complaints forum (I mean General forum). Auto follow in a game as well as macros and addons have nothing to do with bots because it’s the 3rd party software that controls the actions of bots, not in game functions.
I highly recommend a follow system as this encourages players to help each other in times of need. Please consider. Something like /target playername and /follow or just /follow playername
