Give us the ability to NAME our pets, and have an option to show pet names (for you, or for everyone) in the interface settings.

For example, I would buy the striated pony guar if I could name him "Crisp BBQ Wings" or something similar. If I had the plushy guar which looks WAY better I would name him "Consumes-All-Things."

You get the idea.

;)

    No, you can't.

    You can rename them sure. But what's the point without an option in the game settings to DISPLAY that name?

    One of my favorite aspects of WoW pets is that you could name them and other people would see the name.

    ;)

    Better do it quick then... its being withdrawn from the store in a few days! ;)

    Although I'm sure you may well get another chance.... in a few months, as a limited time offer.

    Because there are no name-plates (and I wouldn't want name plates on pets even if there were), the only way other people could see their names would be to target them.

    And the last thing I would want is one more set of stupid things that my reticle tries to target when I'm trying to target other things.

    Logged into an old game where players names apeared above their toon. I had forgotten how much space it took up which prevents being able to see what it going on. I had turned all that off in the old game when I played it. The clean screen we have in ESO is fabulous. Oh, and so glad they don't have what everyone types into that apear above their heads. The old game has that also and it's kinda anoying and not needed (since it already shows on screen in the chat window).

    I would love to have a chicken pet which I would name McCluck, for everyone to see. There's a long story behind this name and he deserves an honorful place in the game ;)

    Baaaawk-caaaaaaaaw, ehh??

    I would also like to see ZoS add an in-game pet chicken.

    That would be their greatest patch to date, imho.

    I would PAY for an option to HIDE everyone's stupid pets.
    And if I was forced to see the stupid name player gave them, then I would be FORCED to pay for the hide option.
    I don't want to see your little pet or its silly name which you thought was funny.

    HIDE PETS should of been an option next to HIDE Helmet from the start

    There are more than enough silly player names, want to hide them, too?

    There is a filter on player names and a process in place that force them to get changed if they cause offence. Pet names currently have no enforcement and can get changed every two mins. If a pet once named could not get renamed (once only process) and they had the same player name enforcement..... then maybe. But I still want an option to hide them all.

    Plus if I don't like a players name, I can just block them and I no longer see their name. I don't have that option on pets

    Make pets that appear to be able to fight attack your enemies for zero dps only in pve then I start considering buying any more of them. Nothing is more annoying than that stupid Panther just sits there looking when I get attacked. It's the only pet I would keep around me but the fact that it does nothing at all means that I will have it always turned off.

    Another option that would not be P2W would be a Combat Pet Skill line that could use any skin they might add for similar dps results. Add 1 pet skill slot to every class so that it doesn't interfere with the current build and it would be more awesome.

    Ok, you do have a point there.
    I think having the option to show/hide certain things would be good in general. My "favorites" to hide would be the Twilights, and then the tassets/flaps/shoulders from armor.

    im glad we can't see names cuz i dont care about other players pet names i dont wanna see a name overhead nor do i wanna see them with a health bar or as anything other than a lag causer follower.renaming them in your inventory should be enough. next people are gonna wanna name their dwarven construct their helm summons or want display names for their common generic horse.
