FIX PET TARGETING PLEASE

✭✭✭✭✭@Aurielle You do know that tab targeting is a thing in this game. Cycle until you get the player instead of the pet. Yes it an extra step but it is a work around that the game offers instead neutering another class.
In which case you fight the targeting system to tab-target the player, taking us right back to square one. Believe me, when you're having issues targeting players through a field of pets, tab-targeting wastes so much time, just trying to tab onto the player, let alone target them.
Sounds more like an excuse than admitting there is a way to target through the Pets in the game. Admittedly it is not a first choice. I would concede your point if this was a twitch targeting based game, but it is not.
Go into a BG, run against a team with a half dozen pets, and let me know how well tab-targeting serves you. I'll wait.
Furthermore, what is the point of workaround solutions, which still don't work as they inherit the bullshittery of the targeting system, when you could just alleviate the bullshittery in the first place?
As I said, this change basically amounts to nothing except fixing the bullshittery, as players typically don't bother with pets regardless, seeing as players are far more efficient targets. Why nuke the pets, when you can nuke the player and the pets die with them.
I guess pet sorcs and WWs doesn't want to loose their cheese, hiding behind 2 pets and spaming overload e.g.Say no to Toxic Casuals!
I am doing my best, but I am not a native speaker, sorry.
"Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game." - @AlexanderDeLarge3 -

This is precisely it. Also, pre-made pet-stacking groups would have to find a new way to troll people if ZOS fixed targeting... There’s a reason why pets are banned from player-run dueling tournaments. But noooo, according to certain people in this thread, I need to “adapt” and use the hilariously useless highlight target feature to target one of four players in a sea of pets. *roll eyes* Give me a break.

✭✭✭✭✭Forgive me for necro’ing my own thread, but courtesy of the latest pet targeting ridiculousness I’ve endured in BGs, I have a new drinking game for you all!
https://youtu.be/1nVZB_DkcWM
Watch my targets, and take a shot every time my healer has a pet targeted. You’ll black out in the first minute!
Anyway, as you can see, it’s kind of hard to debuff the opposing team for your teammates when there’s a zoo in your way.
Please make player targeting a priority in PVP, ZOS. PVP stands for “player versus player,” not “player versus pet.” 1 -

Me running out of stamina on an alt I hardly ever play is related to the pet targeting issue, how?
Edit: let me guess, you run multiple pets and pet monster sets in BGs as well?
