Could everyone please /feedback or /bug this?

Hi, i am crusading for everyone to /feedback or /bug report about the diety buff pets asking that SOE make them just a simple "buff" instead of a pain in the ass pet that is adding to the joys of lag. Many raiding guilds are completely disallowing the pets to be cast during raids at all, and now, since GU30, we can't even cast them and park them away from the raid or at the entrance of the zone.
So i implore each and every one of you to take the minute it requires to do a feedback or bug. yeah I know its wishful thinking that maybe something will come of it, but sometimes i am and optimist.

I agree. Last night I lagged out twice on our raid because of those stupid pets following us around. It was cool for a while, but now they're just annoying to look at.

I can't believe they would half-ass this. We complained numerous times on the message boards and in game. Its been expressed many times that there should be two different spells.

A self-buff, possibly that scales by level, but is equivalent to the current buff the pet offers
A fun/fluff ability that behaves like the mushroom pets, hooloh pet, eye pet, etc, that can be summoned at will but offer absolutely no benefit.

That way, everyone gets what they want. The raiders get a buff without the pet causing lag or being huge and swallowing halflings and gnomes. The role players and casuals get a fluffy pet they can summon at will and have it follow them aroun wherever they go.

Instead, they just "fix" the pet taking up the pet window, but in return we can no longer control the pets and they still die to AE's. When removing the pet window, the very least they could have done is made them like familiars and unaffected by all spells.

Whats a god pet?

I did /feedback after about 30 secs of gaining this new pet.

this new change just BLOW.
24 pets +3~4 summoner pet + 2~3 shaman pet +24 players = fucking lag.

I always park the pet at the entrance. For summoners, park the pet, THEN summon your primary pet and put it on passive. That way the god pet stays put, and your primary will follow you around.

The real shitty thing about having both out is that if you do animist's transference (siphon health from your pet to heal another or yourself), it picks your god pet and kills it.

This doesn't apply anymore since LU30.

The pet does not get a hp/pow bar anymore. You can't park it anywhere. Hence why this topic was started

Actually my understanding is if you summon the diety pet before any others you can still alt+p for the pet window and park it, then summon other pets. But how long that works Im not sure.
Still, its a huge pain in the ass.

Doesn't work for mine. When I alt + p, it tells me that I don't have a pet summoned.

Complained...repeatedly. They ARE pets so let us park them if they won't make it a buff.
