So yes, while I agree that characters should not be turned into travel bots, we should also make playing the game easy and friendly for casual players. (How often do you really want to not line up where the marshal wants you to line up?
99 times out of 100, you want to be in the Marshal's formation. I personally think that there should be a tick box to say "ignore Marshal formation orders" to handle those very few times when it's otherwise. However, there's a
lot of stuff I want to see done before that, tee hee.
