Something that would be really nice for pets would be to have a command, say #pet passive, that changed the AI of the pet to the following:
Does not attack unless told to attack, continues following owner, if told to attack, will attack your target but still remains in passive stance. Need to always use /pet kill to get the pet to attack something.
This way pets will only specifically attack what you tell them to, when you tell them to.
This would be a major quality of life improvement especially for situations where mobs get stuck in walls because they hit you in a wall then your pet attacks them and they start hitting the pet and having a fight in the wall, and also be a nice quality of life improvement for squishy pets who like to attack anything that aggros you and die a lot.
Pet hold unfortunately doesn't keep the pet held if you tell it to attack, and also keeps the pet sitting wherever you tell it to hold it.. this "passive" command would be far more useful in general.
If I remember correctly this passive sort of pet AI was a mode you could put your pet in on eqlive as well; it would be a nice feature to copy to make former EQ players more comfortable managing pets in SoD.
Thanks!
