Companions in Cities/Around Crafting Stations/Combat Pets and the Impeding of Daily Writ Completion

WithMyLaserGun

I am sure I am not the only one who struggles to do daily Crafting Writs because there is a Warden Bear standing inside the crafting station or can't see what I am doing because there is a Winged Twilight right in my face.

I would like to request, that if we are to have potentially double the persons (people with Companions) in main cities and around Crafting Stations, please can you disable people's Combat Pets in cities and around Crafting Stations. It's not just bad for lag, but it's literally impeding people getting on with their Daily Writs as we cannot even click on a Crafting Station with a Combat Pet standing inside it.

This has been an issue for a while and Companions will only compound the problem. I would also like to request that you disable/ban duelling in cities and around Crafting Stations for similar reasons.

What do you folk think? Yay nor nay?

What I'd like best would be a client side option for this, that way people who are being impacted by it can make the companions and pets disappear but people who have a RP reason for wanting them out in the city will see them.

There's an addon for trials that makes everyone except you invisible. Does it work outside of trials?

Perhaps the companion will appear instead of a pet, like the banker/merchant do. In that case, they won't take up any more room than Tythis the banker does.

I didn't know about that. I don't want to make everyone invisible though, I just want to be able to do my Writs without pets literally making it so that I can't even press E on a crafting station.

Even if the Companions disappear like Bankers and Merchants, my bet is on people having them out all the time, for RP if nothing else.
