That's my primary use of them and they're quite handy at that. Navigating tight obstacles and whatnot, just park them and call em when you're where you want to be.They can be useful for calling you pet back to you when it's surrounded and can't come...
Ty for explanation. So the years have gone by (decades), the game has changed, and taming specialty and pets have changed. It is time to re-evaluate items like this and bring their usefullness/use up to date with the present. However not sure how hard this would be. I suspect it may be just a toggle is the database definition of items and this specific one item. Otherwise if it involves much more than that, i.e changing portions of the spaghetti - undocumented code, consequences could be bad, and fix one buggy function item and bring several other bugs in.They are limited in usefulness because they were introduced such a long time ago. They predate pet bonding and pet recall, so they had a good function back in the day of traveling with your unmountable pet or pulling them from a chaotic battle where they were surrounded and likely to permanently die.
If that is the reason it will not be easy to change. Recently they did a change to the game and it caused pets in a non mark spot to not be able to be mounted. Instead of fixing it, they reverted the change they did.Ty for explanation. So the years have gone by (decades), the game has changed, and taming specialty and pets have changed.

Then best leave that code alone. Another thing they could do is add code for a new item, a mobile pet stall type item that is rechargeable or some other negative, including purchasing it from the game store, that must be either blessed or insurable. That I would buy instantly. That may make some $ for the game also.If that is the reason it will not be easy to change.
