I can pet dogs and cats, but not Gnomes?

Why is it not possible to click on Gnomes and bend down to pet them like I do other small creatures?

This seems like a bug or something.

This should go in the report bug section of the forums.

You cannot pet animals that are destined to be food either, so why should you be able to pet gnomes?

They’re just saving you the pain of getting bit on the hands or ankles.

I little imagination goes a long way. /pet then use another emote to make it look like you are petting and then use /giggle

This is what I want to happen. Notice how Taelia claims ownership of the Gnome and it is now her pet. She also physically moves the Gnome.

Hmm. It just occurred to me. If there were playable gnome druids, this would need to practically mandatory.

Try to pet me, Ms. Extra Sparkly Space Goat, and you’ll lose a hand. Now, then, where did I put that Goat Stew recipe?

I think it’s wise, that we don’t emote /pet to gnomes. U don’t want to get ganked by one.

I’m just proud no one has brought up punting yet.

I have a good imagination. Feel free to pet. I don’t need the emote animation showing it.

Although it won’t be free. I accept mounts, purples, or mass amounts of gold.

The Dark Lady’s plan to sow discord between the races of the Alliance is coming along well, I see.
