I'd love to opt out of using a pet.
That’s how it was in GW1, you’re not the first to bring it up. ANet doesnt want to hear it.
Maybe choose one of the seven non pet classes..
It’s like a Warrior wanting magic and Elems wanting effective heavy weapons…
Here’s a quote I’ll paraphrase from a hot topic on the spvp forums: “Ranger can burst without line of sight with a stealthes glass cannon that’s harder to kill than a warrior, is near immortal underwater, and can still glass cannon burst with feline even though they themselves are bunkers. This is not fair.”
Just some perspective from others to perhaps open your mind.

Well to be honest ranger is not my first choice, but if I want to use primarily bows and have access to both its my only option.
Yes, I feel the same way. And yes, there was hundreds of topics like this one. No, nothing will change.
Personally, I like pets. They are nice addon to my character. In GW1 I used pet even in non-pet specs, just to have it around me. The thing that I don’t like about pets in GW2, is they are too good. Yes! Too good! I’d rather do all dmg myself and have pet as some small tool to KD or immobilize enemy, not as 30-40% of my dmg.
Um, then can they make it so bosses like Jade Maw stop targetting our pets?
