I agree, it was meant to keep people from bouncing pets from mob to mob to mob pulling stuff from across an entire zone, the first day the change came out pet range was shortened, and it seems to be getting shorter once a week. Def not a change thats enhancing fun or challenge in the game, just making a few trivial parts of it a little more annoying.

Yeah can we not let this thread just poof off into the immaterium, its getting super super annoying to have to stop and wait on my pet every 10 seconds of running, all pet classes have become absolute burndens and a detriment to my group.

Easy fix, really. Give the pets the same run speed buff as the master.

Or just increase the poof distance back to something reasonable.

Yes, but the immaterium was, as someone said, added for a reason. Increasing the run speed to match the casters would address that exploit still and prevent the issue of pets poofing because they run slower than my dead grandmother.

I think it was fine after poof was first added. It seems to have gotten progressively more ridiculous.

Hushed Banquet - Epic 2.5

Hotbutton:
Pet target nearest npc
Pet attack

^ Spam that

Get key

The pet distance wasn't calculated from the PLAYER, it's calculated from the PET... so you could chain your way through the entire zone, while the player sat at ZIN... or in QVic you could strategically have your pet "attack" mobs in a distance chain to get it to kill any mob in zone - or even bring it to zin for you.

Although before immaterium was added, the Hushed Banquet was fixed... by making pets unsummonable in the zone

I agree when the change was first made it was perfect, I understand the need for it, but i mean, are we REALLY that damn worried about being able to pull phinny from zone in with a pet? Thats such a huge exploit that its worth us all having to deal with this super shitty pet range.   (I know there are other things phinny was just an example) And I dont mean any disrespect to hate when Im sayin this stuff, Im a big fan of just giving things a shot and imo we should do that more. I think we gave immaterium a shot, and it worked out well, then we shortened the range on it, and it has not worked out well for alot of us. And I see no harm in just putting it back at the original change.

I'm a fan of fixing the root of the problem, remove the range restriction, publicly post that you get 1 warning, if you are caught doing something you shouldn't a second time, you get a free vacation.
