False-equivalency, not one who are opposed to the current change are in favour of forcing everyone to use a pet. Most of us want to find compromises that address both without sacrificing the choice.

And I see people who, in their feedback, are just fine with taking pets away from those who want the option to keep them. Thus anti-pet people are forcing lone wolf on those who donāt want it.
But keep kissing those devās tushes. I am sure they will give you a job at Blizzard someday as their official toadys (sarcasm)
That is my concern as well.
Survival, Outlaw and now MM?
They butchered Survival and Outlaw as they are the least played specs in the game. MM is a very popular spec so removing pets is a big mistake.

Simple solution is keepMM like its gonna be in next patch and you can have pet out but you lose all your eagle abilities. That way its just cosmetic and if u really want it you can have it at ahuge dps loss. Because the current pet literally does nothing for marks it cant even hold threat its just cosmeticā¦

Not even close.
Survival is literally dead in most forms of content.
Ya sure about that? I have no idea where you get your metrics but a quick glance at warcraftlogs show very a comparable number of parses for mm and surv. 14k surv vs 17k mm in mythic difficulty, and thatās with marksman being number 1 on the chart. For comparison, bm is quite low on the same chart and has 45k parses. The mm and surv parses are even closer on heroic.
Obviously not the greatest or most accurate measurement of spec popularity, but blizz is very coy with those numbers.
you can look at keys 10 or higher on rairder io and sv is the highest spec for hunters there too.
pretty much all of 10.2 SV was played more than MM in raid, which is probably why itās being reworked
dude has no metric, he has āfeelsā
Feels always wins against meta chasers.
That is what Ms. Mafic says to me all the time. That is why I feel like a winner all the time Ms Mafic is around. God bless her.
Ive said give the hunter a 3-5 dps loss. An anti lone wolf. As for agro, unless immune to taunt, I never have any problems and use misdirect anyway since im going to aoe or burst from the start anyway.

And for those of us who want neither ?
Given the design roadmap hinted at for the eagle, it is not ājust cosmeticā. Itās a pet, in all but having a separate action bar, pathing and HP.
The other day in the Siren Isle, I came across an silver rare I wanted to kill, and no one was around. I summoned my pet, sent it into battle, and let hold the enemy off me while I killed it. Between growl, Misdirection and Feign Death aggro was not an issue. It took all the defensive cooldowns for it not to die, however - because MM pets are still pretty squishy.
I donāt like using pets, and prefer not to but this was a case were having the option worked. Kiting in these mob-dense packs is not as viable. Unless theyāre going to give us enough regen to fill our health to full several times over, or double our HP, this kind of solo work isnāt possible with their proposed changes

thats fine, i encourage people to play whatever they want. just dont spread misinfo about specs cause you feeeeeel like its worse when its not
The truth is that Survival is a dead spec like Outlaw.
Says the outlaw rogue. So you are just trolling. Shocker.
neither are true and again you are just pushing a agenda
I am a Rogue.
and I have been championing reducing the pet to a basic form for MM:
- an attack based on type (claw, bite, smack, etc)
- growl
- dash
- play dead
All utility to hunter, those that want a pocket tank get it, those that donāt want it have no reason to have it out ever, everyone wins.
