As someone who spends far to many hours in this game each week for the past five and a half years I do not see this issue being such a big issue. It is rare I am blocked by a pet to begin with and when I am it is usually resolved with a step in one direction of another.
idk, maybe I notice them and approach a crafting table or wayshrine so they are not in my way but I just do not see this as a the major issue OP seems to find it to me. I guess it is just a difference of what we choose to focus on that leads to this very different impression.
Once in a while another player's pet will block me from looting things.
Typical example would be someone camping the wayshrine near the North West dragon, in Elsweyr.
There are containers there and I always try to loot them before, or after, fighting the dragon.
But, it's pretty rare that you are permanently, or seriously, blocked from looting by a pet.

Exactly my point. This seems to be such a rare occurrence. Heck, even when the pet sorc build has been so great half the dps in a raid were running pets I cannot recall an issue looting.
I just think there is a very long list of things that need Zos' attention before pets occasionally truly blocking access to something.
just make it an automatic process to desummon pets when entering a city and they're automatically resummoned upon leaving.
They should be made illegal in towns. On a logical level, Summoning Demons is worse than raising the dead, in my opinion. It is illegal to trespass, steal, pickpocket and attack people in town and I personally feel attacked when I have to look at those unsightly things crowd the social places. Those arguing it would change precedents set since launch must not have noticed how literally every other skill has been patch-warped into another dimension.
