Why does changing pets cause loss of claim on a mob?

[Idun_Midgardsormr]

No, this isn't a question to the community, it's a question to SE that I've already posted in the "Ask SE questions" thread. The reason for the cross-post here is to bring this to the attention of the BST community as a whole, as part of a campaign to finally get this issue shoved under SEs noses and at least get their take on it.

In order to do that, the thread needs some input from others in the community rather than just myself, so that the mods and admins of this site see that this is not just my own personal concern but is in fact an issue that the whole community is affected by.

I won't repost the original text here as that would be redundant. Please reply to the thread with your own input, include examples of how this has adversely affected you, and show your support for it generally. Other ideas of how to fix the issue would also be welcomed, just please keep it on topic

Thanks!!

Re: Why does changing pets cause loss of claim on a mob?

I agree totally, this especially effects NMs...in other words don't bother trying to solo one because it'll get stolen on a pet swap.

Lets look at this example If you engaged something (like when I first started playing this game) then disengaged and ran away - noone could help you fighting wise because that mob was on you till you where dead or re-engaged and "called for help". It was always red (purple to others) no matter what. Now I say if you initiate any action on the mob (dia, w/e) even after a pet swap you should still be on its "hate" list so it should stay red (aka claimed) I think this would be an easy fix.

Please post replies on the question thread, not here - the idea is to show the mods and admins that people are concerned about this - they will look at that thread, not this one!! Thanks!

@ Sabaron - answered in the first paragraph of the post in this thread - please read it properly before asking silly questions.
