Is it a bug I need to report or is it something they have deleted for a silly reason?
Damn, you are right. Just checked it. That must be recent because I remember using it when a dread horse became bonded.The 'drop' command has been disabled. This was an un-documented change in pub 53 or 54. I presume a hack to fix a bug, possibly related to the duping problem.
And my dread warhorse dropped for me this morning when I tried it, but, as I posted before, he didn't do it until the second time I gave the command.It isn't disabled - see above tests. If you have tried everything above, submit a bug report, but it certainly hasn't been disabled. Otherwise my pet wouldn't have dropped gold for me this afternoon.
I had a mare and a dreadhorse drop loot for me yesterday. Of course I had to change their name from "A Nightmare" to "Nightmare" before it would drop.The 'drop' command has been disabled.

Ok, I don't think pack critters were intended to drop items in this way, but I haven't seen any documented change for it in any publish notes. Hard to say if this is intended or not, when you didn't know a feature existed. In all honesty I've always just taken stuff out the pack critter and smelted it, and more recently smelt on fire bug then use pack horse to shift it home.Having a newly tamed/bonded pet drop its original loot and Having a packie drop it's stored stuff are different types of drop.
1) A new tame will only drop once. It gives you the loot it had on it that would of been yours if you would of killed it.
2) Asking a packie to drop stuff you place on it. IE: a miner ask his packie to drop the ore it's holding in front of the forge so that the miner can easily smelt it from the ground, with out having to move it in to his pack.
None of the Horse Packie, Blue-bug or Llama packies on my 2 accounts will drop my ore and stone to smelt them.
None on my husbands account will either.
None have double names or spaces and I have used the command for years.
I have not how ever used it in the last few months and I am miffed that it is not working.
I have re-installed my game also and it did not fix the problem.
