PUT YOUR PETS AWAY IN CRAFTING AREAS

Title.

No more Matriarchs blocking craft stations.

No more bears blocking craft writ turn ins.

Please. Thank you. That is all.

No

I never really have a problem with this.

It takes all of 2 seconds total before and after you are done crafting to unsummon and resummons pets. Please don't waste a minute, minutes if you go afk, of people's time blocking things.

IMO if you go afk on a event spot or bank/writ location with your twilight/bear stacked on it, you are a colossal netch fart

You might even say that sort of behavior would fall under the definition of trolling or harassment. Those are reportable offenses.

Every time I've run into a pet trying to get to a crafting station or the turn in boxes, I took at most two steps to the side and could access it. And I'm crafting in Alinor and Vivec, which are pretty busy.

Frankly the NPC lounging in the middle of the Vivec turn in boxes has been more annoying than that.

3 days ago, there were 2 bears on top of the turn in boxes in Vivec.
you need some extreme acrobatics to get at them then.

instead we taught the owner you can unsummon the bear in your character ui.
bear went poof, everybody cheered.

I have to admit, this has always been a "pet" peeve of mine. But I wouldn't have thought to make a post about it.

It would be nice to be able to kill their pets when they get in your way.

As cool and as good as that would be, zone chat and the forums would be filled with pet sorcs and pet wardens going “Stop killing my pets! RREEEEE”
Can’t win either way, someone’s still gonna be annoyed...

The game needs to make it so that pets do not take priority over interactive objects that are behind, or past, them. We should be able to select through these things, even if we cannot see them. We should not have to unsummon pets, or have pets unsummoned for us by ZOS, or rogue add-ons.

The problem is larger than crafting stations. Our own pets can cause this problem every day just attempting to loot something that we killed, or even collect a resource node.

The real trolling they've done is placing all those owned bottles, drinks, and weapons laying about the writ turn in locations just begging for you to steal them accidentally.

Ever since zos buffed pets, I see way too many pet sorcs all over the place, blocking stations and causing more lag

I had one intentionally resummon her flappiness right in the teller window area. Tut.

This could be because they noticed that they were gone because some rogue add-on author quietly put a forced cancel of the pets into their crafting add-on

I'm going to say this doesn't apply to me I'm usually in and out, and If I need to go afk I step aside, so Teddy's Butt (My bear) isn't in the way I'm considerate, but I won't go out of my way to dispel my guardian.

Imryll

The day I can single-bar my pets, maybe .... That said, I'd be glad to see changes to pet graphics or animations to make them less intrusive. After all, the person most likely to have their view blocked by a pet is their owner. Maybe when the owner is out of combat and standing still, bears could learn to lie down and Matriarchs could fold their wings. Smaller Matriarchs also seems like a good idea to me.

God I wish there was an option to disable the vile things...

Just a small FYI. An extremely small percentage of the player base actually comes to the forums. Basically, posting a thread trying to communicate to the masses is an exercise in futility.

BretonMage

I'm a pet sorc who does 90% of the time unsummon mine, but really, I have never had a problem with other people's pets, even bears. You just step around or turn the camera a little and access the locations.

Quoting people in other threads requesting game changes: "They want it that way so live with it and adapt."

They could fix this problem if they wanted to do so, in the game system, but it remains.

FlopsyPrince

I should have been clear: I find the "that is the way they want it" argument to be weak, but lets apply it here if it really is good.

agreed --- or let us kill them.

they should automatically despawn around crafting and guild trader areas

Darn it! Now I have to get my Sorc out and maximize Pets at the Crafting tables! hehehe

The problem with the pets, namely the bear and the matriarch, is that they block the ability to select things behind them. This is a larger problem than crafting stations. It also makes it more difficult to loot bodies, open chests, and take resource nodes.

In my mind, the solution is not to despawn them at crafting stations and guild traders. This does not address the whole problem. The problem is that they block access to stuff behind them. That is what needs to be addressed. They can stand in front of that stuff all day, as long as I can still interact with the more important stuff that is behind them.
