I have to be honest, it shocks me that people think this kind of change would actually be simplistic and straightforward. if all you want is to permanently stow your pet and not see it at all, sure, but if you’re asking for a buff to compensate for that loss it’s a new can of worms that, if I’m being honest, doesn’t seem like something Anet would he inclined to spend time balancing, especially with bigger fish to fry for Rangers (like actually FIXING the pets in the first place).
It just won’t be as simple as “you do X more damage while your pet is gone” :/
