look, i am enjoying the ranger some, but i feel like i have just gone back 8 years or so and i am playing wow when it first came out with all the terrible pet pathing for their hunter. yes, i know they are different games, but for sure you guys at anet must realize people will be comparing.
currently, pets are doing all the kitten stuff i remember from wow 8 years back. i jump off an incline, they take the long way and bring all the mobs. this is ridiculous, there is no way you could have never noticed this in testing etc. it is very easy to test and reproduce now.
pets have all kinds of other issues too, but please fix pathing above all. in other words, make them follow us, and not take the long way around and aggro a train of mobs. you guys should really be emarrassed and ashamed.
