Guild Wars 2

I can not express how frustrating this is to collect pets in the game only
to have the name you have pick out for it revert back to its default name

when you swap back to it again from having a different pet out

now since I know for a fact that this has been mention before to ArenaNet in the bug section
and never fixed its safe to say there not going to fix it any time soon
so I’m bringing it up again but as
a possible suggestion to have this fixed.

They already said it’s not a bug. They know people want this but they have no plans at this time to change it.

This is what I got from another thread.

This is actually not a bug, it is working as intended. It is not optimal, but to save the names of all of your pets (read: all of everyone’s pets) would require another large name database that ANet did not create. Currently the pet name feature saves the name in the slot, not the pet, so changing out the pet type resets the slot name.
Perhaps someday they will change this, but it is not a bug.

This is pretty much exactly what’s going on.
Tl;dr: we may change this some day, but it’s not going to happen in the near future, and it’s not a bug.

Not saying its a good system, just saying its not a bug and this is the reason they say why the game doesn’t have this feature.
