Instead of focusing solely on pet survivability, would making it possible for us to revive our pet in some way other than swapping help the problem or break the system? It seems like a ranger would care about his pet and not just ignore it when it is downed.

I would like to have the guard shout switched into a shout that makes your pet dash to you and then you pick it up (similar to a engineer kit or something). While being held your pet heals out of downed state. This also could let you carry your pet through areas where the ai pathing causes problems. Of course picking up a pet would look weird on asura probably, and the animations and stuff to be added are probably too much to be added at this point so this is not a serious suggestion.

Another thing that comes to mind is putting a pet avoidance mechanic on the signet of the hunt. It may be because I am a noob, but that signets active does not seem noticeable or worth losing the speed for activating most of the time. If activating it gave your pet a dodge or aegis or something it seems like it could help in higher dungeons without affecting other areas much.

Changing it slightly sounds nice, but every time you change it the previous password is added to your blocks so over time if they continue forcing password changes it will become a huge pain. For me its an issue with freedom. I don’t want to support companies that force these types of things on me. I have never been hacked or protected by one of these systems in the 12 years I’ve been playing online games so I would say I know what I am doing. I guess I will not be playing this game anymore.

Let me get this straight:

You’re going to quit a game you love…
Because you are being ‘forced’ to change your password…
Which will literally take two seconds.

This isn’t an issue of freedom or anything, the entitled consumer argument only goes so far. I know that you’re probably just being a drama-queen but seriously, nobody would stop doing something they enjoy because (HEAVENS FORBID!) they must protect their account.

I can live with changing my password. I had to put up with that from blizzard always detecting the school network as someone hacking me and I have to change a password every time (After two weeks of this I just decided to quit for a couple months until they fixed their crap so yes people actually do quit games they enjoy when the developers kitten them off). My issue is with how they made it so every time I change my password it gets added to a blacklist. I wasted 5 or so variations of my current password just testing it out. Its more like the lunch ladies in some elementary school a while back that forced a kid to eat school lunch instead of her lunch she brought because they thought it wasn’t healthy enough when in reality it was probably healthier then the schools anyway.
