These are non-problems and there really doesn't need to be more incentives to play pet sorcs, in fact I believe there should be fewer incentives to play them. Set your camera to zoom your character to the right of your screen and your twilight summon won't intrude on the screen (you can even zoom so far in that it disappears from your screen entirely).

So ZOS should cater thoroughly to petsorcs and have everyone who isn't a petsorc have the sorcpets being all over *their* screens instead? Your proposed solution would cause even bigger problems than the one which you already have the means to solve by yourself. Just use the tools already at your disposal and change the horizontal zoom. It's a non-problem. Petsorcs would be shunned in trials if they changed this.

Maybe an example can help; Sunspire trials, you'll preferably put petsorcs on the right stack of the second dragon as to not be a nuisance for everyone. If the pets were instead on the left, they'd be a nuisance for everyone on the middle stack. If you put petsorcs on the middle stack, their pets would be a nuisance to the tank.
Funny how some complain about pet sorcs while playing them. Theres a lot of other classes or you could just not use them...

I will never understand how some of you keep coming up with this as some sort of justification. This is not a deliberate gameplay design decision that I don't like. This is not some fundamental element of the Sorc class that I don't like. This is not me trying to change the intended gameplay of a class to better fit my preference.
This is a visual eyesore that can easily be fixed that has been annoying many of us for 5 plus years. This is my favorite class, so no I'd rather not "just not use" my favorite class because of something that is annoying. I will however ask ZOS to improve the quality of life of my favorite class, especially when it will have zero gameplay balance implications, its purely a visual issue. It doesn't take long to see I'm not the only Sorc player who feels this way.
Here is an example of what I'm trying to say. So say the Templar spear spammable lit the screen-up white like a flashbang with every tick of the ability. Would you tell everyone to stop playing Templars or would you ask ZOS to fix it? This is a more extreme example but is very much in the same category of what I'm trying to say here.

Fact of the matter is; sorcpets will not be any less of a nuisance by painting them in other colours or moving them to petsorcs' left sides. The best we can do is work around the ways in which they are implemented and if one is bothered by one's own sorcpets, tough luck, maybe try playing another class, or get used to playing the petsorc with the camera over the left shoulder as that is a tool which is readily at our disposal. Non-problem.

Right so the vast majority of players who don't do trials should have to deal with a nuisance at all times so a very small amount of trial players, and even smaller number of trial players who actually even care about the pet sorcs placement, don't have to deal with them just during trials?
How about instead of saying too bad play as another class to the vast majority of players, we instead tell this very small number of picky trial players to just not allow pet sorcs into their trial?

There was a lot to unpack here and I don't know where to start exactly, but here's a try;
You don't have to deal with the nuisance of your sorcpets at all, not even as a solo player. You can do these things: Unsummon your pets when you don't need them. Change the camera positioning. Build a sorcerer that doesn't rely on pets to play the game for you. That's three things that you can do with no effort at all in order to entirely avoid being inconvenienced by your flappies and squeekies.
The vast majority of players play other classes. According to recent forum polling, which I would assume you base your beliefs on, the sorcerer player base is 29% of players. That's less than 50%. Meaning, less than the majority.
To disallow sorcerers in trials entirely would be unwise as they bring class group buffs that are rather essential to have in trials.
This is how it is, if it bothers you too much to play a petsorc, you can always refer to paragraph 1.

Ugh sorry about that, still learning to clip things.
