well in the case of most hunters an mages an warlocks, most leave there pets out all the time anyway. there are very few considerate players, such as myself, who take the time to limit the amount of visual clutter within the game, which helps with the ongoing lag issues we all experience within heavily populated areas of the game. not to mention by keeping pets at bay by putting them away while not engaging in active combat situations helps keep them out of the way of others from interacting with the environment such as NPC’s, small items on floors, etc…
This is why I took some time while doing the Hati questline I passed on this BUG issue an asked others to help with addressing the issue as well as asking them to submit a bug report. sure this isn’t the only bug in the game an most certainly not the only hunter bug, but it is 1 of the most noticeable. you can see some of the other BUG’s I’ve noticed with hunters here in my post below
