Never has been an issue for me.

Now, pets that pull enemies, specially bosses before I do... that's a different thing. If you don't control your pets I'll be chain-gripping the enemies you're focusing on out of your sight.

Just imagine High Isle too. Instead of daedra running around impeding the view, it's going to be a million werewolves running the 1 bar mythic. It'll sound like a recording of a dog park repeated multiple times simultaneously in dungeons and pvp.

I think my friends use it on purpose because they know it annoys me. My little character model gets completely engulfed by them

Sometimes, I try to taunt my ally's Deadroth when I meet so many of mobs in dungeon.
But, not so problem for me.

In one of my parties we have a Sorcerer who specializes in summoning. Kitty the Daedroth is a beloved member of our family. He always does his best.

It would be so nice if polls had more objective choices: straight to the point and without the needless text that just shows the poll maker's bias.

In any case, the only time I can recall the Maw being a problem was, unsurprisingly, during a vBC2 run. However, it was problematic more on the funny side than the rage-inducing one. I used to run dungeons with some DPSies who even had affectionate names for their daedroths (like Jeff), so the big lizards weren't a bother.

You're welcome to use whatever you like and quite frankly it makes sense to use Maw on occasion. However Maw can become a nuisance when its either mistaken for a mob or it makes me unable to see the boss.

In general running with Maw once in a while is fine but if it were to become a constant thing I'd have to ask the group to change to something else because I also ask the group to put followers away and in many ways Maw (or even regular Sorc summons) can become a nuisance and are better left out of the way when doing a dungeon run. Add to that, if you refuse to put the pet away, even temporarily, then you're not really someone I'd want in my group then because on some runs there's so much happening I need to be able to see the boss and keep up my rotations, not to mention Maw visual effects concealing boss effects.

In short, Maw is great for PvP but for PvE I'd suggest folks please consider using something that doesn't add to the problems already happening. We ask that you please put followers and pets away for a reason, this is no different.

As a tank: I can deal with one or maybe two. Any more than that and I'll ask someone to change.

As a dps: I love it for solo content. I won't use it in trials or dungeons based on my own experience tanking. I'll wear Zaan or Khaljinars myself.

I can't understand how some people put up with it. I find it irritating even when it's mine. I can't see anything with that thing stomping around, and I've been playing a petsorc for years. Admittedly it's pretty funny at dolmens when I don't care who hits what, but otherwise, I find it makes fights harder.

Can't stop targeting it!
