With the number of characters & names on screen during wvw, it’s hard enough choosing a human target (even harder choosing the human out of a bunch of clones).
Pets usually rush in front and it’s hard to click around them to attack real players. But if we do take the time to kill a pet, it doesn’t vanish like a clone, making it still distracting. We see a red name moving on the battlefield and it appears as an actual enemy.
Could you either hide them (I think that might improve rendering) or turn them into unnamed, non-selectable objects?
