After seeing all these threads about problems with minions since launch, and lack of fixes, im beginning to think Anet is considering them working as intended, under the guise of minions arent sentient beings and do stupid things. Does anyone know of any official word regarding their stance on this issue?

Brief list of problems:
- Minions not regenerating out of combat (except flesh golem)
- Standing around doing nothing, while your necro is attacking, i find this particularly evident with bone minions
- Getting stuck, unable to path around objects efficiently
- Not running away/chasing enemies to infinity when you are trying getting away.
- They often do their own thing, with some minions attacking one target, and some attacking another or even doing nothing at all.

Talked to a QA Lead about Necro Minions in game. He/She is passing along the minion AI issues as well as the Life Siphon heal bugs.

So now you can all stop speculating about whether or not someone is aware of the issue. They are now, for sure, aware of the minion AI and Life Siphon issues and will do what they are paid to do.

Just a silly sidenote: The QA Lead was playing a Ranger in Free Tournaments. That statement says a lot of things if you are a regular tournament player.
