Guild Wars 2

Sometimes Rangers don’t want their pets following them around. Some hate the AI. Some want to keep them from accidentally aggroing. Some want them out of the way for jumping puzzles. Whatever the reason, the game doesn’t accommodate us. The moment we take a little bit of damage, out pops our buddy.

We SHOULD be able to put him away and KEEP him away if we want to. It shouldn’t require an extra check box or anything like that. Instead, just make him remain stowed if he was in “Avoid Combat” mode when the Ranger put him away. Since he has been commanded to avoid combat, then he shouldn’t pop out when his master takes damage. Only when his master calls for him again.

This is what, a 15 minute coding job?
“LOCK PET” button PLEASE.

Rant:
I’m so angry about this, the pet is getting in the way of jumping puzzles, screenshots, combat tactics, SLOWS ME down if it gets hit when in combat, disturbs targeting in the Jade Maw fractal… God, I’ve played over 1000 hours with this kitten thing following me around, I’m so sick of it. I just want it to go away, even just for a while. And its not even growing up—the same old lame “Juvenile blah blah”. So pitiful.
