Pub 111 bonded pet update
Bonded Pet Update
- Bonded pets (Non-pack animal) can no longer go wild and will no longer respond to commands from their owner until the pet owner feeds the pet
- Pack animals and hirelings will now only stay in the offline auto stable for 24 hours after which they will be removed from the world if not retrieved.
(Currently pets go instantly to stables while character remains in-game if not logged out in a home/inn or recently engaged in combat)"

Be interesting to read your opposition reasoning now.
The half dozen exploits are still being abused on a daily basis.”
Normally also any animal tamer that does not have the veterinary skill.
these are some of the many scenarios that I witness and affect my play on the daily”
I have veterinary and I also auto log to save my pet sometimes, but it is not how the game is supposed to be played, it’s a cheat/trick
if I could log out to prevent my own death I would do that too”
6. Pets are instantly auto-stabled when a player logs out.
reminder of published solution to all known pet exploits (please excuse bold, could not edit on this device)
A ) for the pet to be autostabled at the same time the character logs out (meaning unless you log out in a friended house, inn, the character remains in game for 5 mins, as should the pet before being autostabled)
B ) for the pet to be retrieved from the stables upon log in (this is currently the case anyway if you log out when dead, however if you get resurrected and log out/in a second time, the pet actually appears next to you again which it shouldn't)
C ) for the current autostable system to not apply to non bonded pets

We have to tell someone daily to log off to retrieve their pet because no one can see them.
Dead pets walk too slow to keep up with a player. If you have to go any distance to get to a place to leave, your dead pet will be somewhere in a Dungeon and you cant find it.
Fix the issues that cause players to need to log off to return their pets to them.
If for example your pet was in the middle of a dungeon and you had lost control of the pet (was very very unhappy) and it was still alive and for whatever reason you couldn't reach it, and you didn't have a pet ball of summoning, you can still ofcourse log out and retrieve it from the stables under the proposals. While there are areas such as ilshenar where summoning pets is not permitted, let us say your pet was in the middle of an ilshenar dungeon, you can still travel to any area and use the pet ball of summoning in any area where summoning is permitted and even though the pet is in a summoning prohibited area - the pet ball of summoning will still summon the pet so long as you're in a non prohibited area.
The developers put a lot of work into pet balls of summoning
I use my pet ball of summoning because i play with a lot of friends (often 10 plus people) and on official CC i will lose their healthbars when i log out and in to retrieve my pet - it's a real pain to grab them all again, if i was playing alone i would do what is easiest and log out and in to retrieve my pet instead of using a charge on my pet ball.
people will always do whatever is the easiest solution to any problem"
I guess recalling with bonded pets is an exploit because the only way to move pets way back then was with gates.
Rezzing a Pet is also another exploit, we just tamed a new pet. Please tell us that you release dead pets or better yet that you do not bond your pets so you can play old school Tamer.
Wait you mentioned training a pet to 5 slot, OMG you bonded a pet and trained a pet shame on you.
Pet Bonding and Training is a NEW Trick that the DEVs gave us.
I remember posting on forums where if you were banned on one account, you weren't allowed to create a new one.
Pet following AI and bug.
The main pic:
I noticed a Dog I knew stuck here. The player was entering the gate and her pet got stuck on the Paladins in luna just like they will do 90% of the time.
So I called her in chat and said her dog was here in Luna getting unhappy.
She said How? I am on my dog.
She dismounted and said now my dog is fighting.
(Dog still in Luna)
I told her her dog was still here.
She logged off and on. Dog was still in Luna and her mount elsewhere.
Picture 2:
She came to Luna and she saw the two dogs. Logged off. Still two dogs. The stuck one did not log off with her.
Then she dismounted and the one she was riding that was fighting a few minutes ago went poof.
Her dog that was stuck on the guards was her real dog.
Too many things cause our pets not to be with us. She had no idea her dog was not really with her and the real dog could have gone wild. If this were a Beetle with items on it and I had not noticed the real pet was in Luna she may have logged off somewhere and if she did not log on in 24 hours her Beetle would be gone with no explanation in her mind. @Kyronix
And you could have come to LS and see that unfold.
Have you tried them?
what is your problem with them?
they’re only 10gp to insure. You can unattach and reattach them to whatever pet you take out of the stables without using a charge.
Whomever designed the pet balls done a very very good and thorough job, they work very well indeed.
whatever dev put all the effort into making them work would be so disheartened if they knew it was all for nothing”

Running Ghosts
When a pet dies, sometimes it will run (as fast as it possibly can) in a set direction, not stopping until it simply can't proceed any further (for example, it reaches the ocean).
One way to combat this is to have a macro ready to say "All Follow Me" at the push of a button, hence allowing you to recall your pet before it runs too far away.
If for whatever reason you fail to do this in time (say you were also killed!), the use of the auto-stable feature can be used to retrieve errant ghosts.
I would change it but I’ve been unable to log in since it’s been on the new server, I don’t think anyone can.
I can’t speak for the devs, but I’ve a feeling the auto stable was put in place to prevent loss of pets (which is now not possible under pub111) not as a free replacement to using pet balls
also the proposed minor adjustments are only asking for a delay in the auto stable process if not logged out in a safe location.
they are minor adjustments”
