Needs to happen. A-net is lazy enough with the mini-pets as it is, being, they’re not “cute” enough, they’re simply smaller toned down model sizes of already existing mobs. I don’t see why implement mini-pets in the first place if they’re going to half kitten it like this. They disappear when you enter a new area, when you teleport, when you die, when you go underwater, they’re pointless atm.
Fix this please, because I’m a “pet” lover and the thing that I makes me most happy when I play MMO’s is if they have a pet feature and I was excited for this but now I’m just disappointed, but really, it’s an easy fix.
